Steven Butala:                   With guest Justin Sliva just because it's Friday. Welcome to the Land Academy Show. Entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:                            And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny Southern California.

Steven Butala:                   Like I just said, today Jill and I talk with guest Justin Sliva 'cause it's Friday.

Jill DeWit:                            Yep.

Steven Butala:                   About the transactions we're doing and anything else, quite frankly, that we'd like to talk about.

Jill DeWit:                            That's because we all have so much free time. So much free time.

Justin Sliva:                         Yeah.

Steven Butala:                   I changed the time on ya Justin. Thanks for being flexible.

Justin Sliva:                         Oh yeah. No problem. It's throwing me off. I'm already off this week on days of the week and so this one just made me all kind of confused. I don't know quite where I'm at right now.

Jill DeWit:                            I understand.

Steven Butala:                   So, before we actually get into the whole show, how's your eBook doing and consulting and what's goin on?

Justin Sliva:                         The eBook's doing good still, between five and seven sells a day. I didn't expect a huge thing, but five to seven sells a day that just keep generating. It's been consistent across all the platforms at that. You know, it's something nice to see. To just, ah, somebody else got helped by this. So, the land business is going good. We just locked up a piece of property in Maine that touches the Canadian border, which I think is really cool. So, we have 66 acres that like backup to Canada, which to me is really neat. I don't know why. I just find it really cool. So, we're in it for, I think, $16 grand.

Steven Butala:                   Oh, that's cheap, cheap.

Justin Sliva:                         Yeah. So, it's a-

Steven Butala:                   You know, Years ago, I bought a ranch that was adjacent to Mexico.

Justin Sliva:                         Oh okay cool.

Steven Butala:                   It struck me the same way, like I had to buy it. It probably wasn't the best deal I've ever done and it wasn't the best deal, but it was adjacent to Mexico, so I had to do it.

Justin Sliva:                         Yeah.

Steven Butala:                   Yeah.

Justin Sliva:                         I'm thinking that, you know, as all the people that talk about wanting to move to Canada when different electorial people ... I'm like, ah, I can make it like a toll bridge, right? They can camp on our side and then move across if they want.

Jill DeWit:                            Exactly.

Steven Butala:                   You know, they probably could just walk across from where it is.

Jill DeWit:                            Exactly.

Justin Sliva:                         Yeah. No, they could. They could. It's great.

Jill DeWit:                            Straddle the line.

Justin Sliva:                         Yep. That's all I need is somebody to get arrested for like illegal entry.

Jill DeWit:                            There we go.

Steven Butala:                   Yeah.

Jill DeWit:                            Love it.

Justin Sliva:                         Yeah, everything else is going pretty good. Yeah, no complaints.

Jill DeWit:                            Good.

Steven Butala:                   All right. Awesome. How's it goin with you Jill?

Jill DeWit:                            Great.

Steven Butala:                   Is it a good transaction week?

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. I'm great. I had some really good deals, I know I will talk to you in a minute,
