Jill DeWit:                            I'm here. Thank you.

Jack Butala:                   Are you doing your nails?

Jill DeWit:                            I am.

Jack Butala:                   I can tell when we had more than two podcasts in one day, when we record because your nails look great.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. Thanks. Very funny.

Jack Butala:                   Jarrod, tell us who you are in the real estate industry. Explain your niche. It sounds unique.

Jarrod Weaver:                 I live in Texas. Yes I am a broker here and also in Florida where I'm originally from twenty one years ago or so. I've really cut out a niche working with people who want to ... Sometimes new guys that want to get their first income property. Get a little cash flow rolling. Other larger holders that want to pick up some portfolios stuff.

Jack Butala:                   Okay. Good. Are you working with a lot of people right now? What's your typical load like?

Jarrod Weaver:                 Yeah. About twenty people is my typical service.

Jack Butala:                   Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Jarrod Weaver:                 Some of those are portfolio holders with a dozen or more properties. Others are smaller time guys. We have a lot of tech guys here of course in Austin.

Jill DeWit:                            Mm.

Jarrod Weaver:                 There a lot of dissatisfied tech employees, engineers, sales guys, that actually make quit a bit of money. They realize that's not going to last forever. They decide that they want to invest in some cash flow properties. We bring those guys in and explain to them how we work and find them properties that work for what they want to do.

Jack Butala:                   That's great. It sounds like we have the same type of customer. Land Academy is substantially made up of seasoned employees of large companies that make really, really good money. They want to enhance it. You said it perfectly. It's not going to last forever.

Jarrod Weaver:                 Right.

Jill DeWit:                            Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Jack Butala:                   What makes this successful?

Jarrod Weaver:                 What makes this successful is dissatisfaction with tech.

Jack Butala:                   We'll show about that.

Jarrod Weaver:                 There's nothing wrong with that.

Jack Butala:                   I'm really dissatisfied with the tech in my life by the way right now too.

Jarrod Weaver:                 Everybody needs to be good stewards of what they've been given. When you've got money that's sitting there, it doesn't have to be a whole lot of money that you don't know what to do with, but you know you want to do something with it. Let's find a way to put it to work.

Jack Butala:                   Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Jarrod Weaver:                 In real estate, it may not be extraordinarily liquid but it's not going to disappear. So many of these guys have lost a killing in the markets. They just can't bear it. They can't deal with it anymore. With the volatility of the market, that's perfect if you can ride peak to peak but good luck with that.
