Steven Jack Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill K DeWit:

Howdy.

Steven Jack Butala:

Welcome to the Land Academy Show, Entertaining Land Investment Talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill K DeWit:

I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from the Valley Of The Sun.

Steven Jack Butala:

Today Jill and I talk about how everyone I know is killing it in the land business. This topic came from-

Jill K DeWit:

A quote.

Steven Jack Butala:

A talk that Jill attended I think-

Jill K DeWit:

I was on.

Steven Jack Butala:

Clubhouse.

Jill K DeWit:

I jumped. I now and then just have some free time and I'm trolling Clubhouse. If I find a real estate-based or women in business community that sounds interesting, I'll just jump in the room. This was a real estate one and they were talking about getting financing, financing for deals. I'm like, "All right, let's hear how you guys go about it," and it was comical. That's a whole other show.

Jill K DeWit:

Anyway, I do not agree with the first hit up all your friends and family. That's not what we do. Anyway, this was a quote. I jumped in and I gave some advice on how we do it. Three people jumped in after me and said, "Hi, Jill. We're so happy to talk to you." They said, "Oh my gosh, everyone that we know that does land is killing it right now." Then, I'm going to go on in the media show here and tell you how the rest of the conversation went.

Steven Jack Butala:

Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members. I can't wait by the way.

Jill K DeWit:

Thank you.

Steven Jack Butala:

I love this kind of stuff. It's so funny to see people in social media spouting off all this stuff that they know nothing about-

Jill K DeWit:

It was good though.

Steven wrote, "Thank you at." Do you want me to say that?

Steven Jack Butala:

No, just thank you investor.

Jill K DeWit:

Thank you.

Steven Jack Butala:

Thank you investor.

Jill K DeWit:

"Thank you other investor for working with me on my first funded deal." That's awesome. "You were very cool and collected and helpful. You really did make this happen. This is a great way to start the year. This was a double lot like an infill lot with a double close. I had assigned a property to this buyer in the past and knew what his criteria was."

Jill K DeWit:

"The deal came from my first mailer and I had written off the seller as a tire kicker, but a checked back with them every five weeks to see if they were interested. They wanted a more formal looking purchase agreement. That was all it was. So when you provided me one and told me about the availability on some site," who knows what that is?

Steven Jack Butala:

Jill, you're really interested in the site. Let me start it.

Jill K DeWit:

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to share and not share.

Steven Jack Butala:

Steven says, "Thank you, funder, for working with me on my first funded deal. You were very cool and collected and helpful. You really did make this happen for me. This is a great way to start my year. This was a double lot infill with a double close. I had assigned a property to this buyer in the past and I knew what his criteria was and that he was capable of closing."

Steven Jack Butala:

"The deal came from my first mailer and I had written off the seller as a tire kicker, but checked back with them every five weeks," which is something Joe would do, "To see if they were interested. They wanted a more formal looking purchase agreement. So thank you, funder, again for providing me one and it made them obviously feel comfortable to the point where they closed. I followed up with them."

Steven Jack Butala:

"I had to followup with them repeatedly every step of the way, signing the purchase agreement, sending it back, scheduling a notary,
