Transcript:

Steven Butala:                   Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:                            Hi.

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

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

Steven Butala:                   Today Jill and I talk about free property data sources you should know about. Jill came up with this topic and I'm proud of her.

Jill DeWit:                            Thank you.

Steven Butala:                   I love free stuff, like everyone and I love free data sources. We live in a day and age now in the internet where there's just a tremendous amount of data out there and a tremendous amount of free stuff.

Jill DeWit:                            It's shocking.

Steven Butala:                   It's awesome. In a true sense of the word.

Jill DeWit:                            It is. You know what-

Steven Butala:                   This topic makes me happy.

Jill DeWit:                            Well, you know what I think about? I think it's like us and I know we're gonna talk about it more in the show, but what we're finding other people are providing for free mirrors what we're doing for free. It's like the show and it's so darn cool.

Steven Butala:                   Yeah. It's amazing the whole world should have been set up like this right from the beginning.

Jill DeWit:                            We should all be helping each other.

Steven Butala:                   Yeah.

Jill DeWit:                            Thank you.

Steven Butala:                   There should be free stuff in the beginning and if you're really into it and you like it-

Jill DeWit:                            Then you buy the book.

Steven Butala:                   Yes. Yes. I can give ... And I will give several examples of free stuff that's out there that doesn't interest me.

Jill DeWit:                            Right. And then, you know what? The bottom line is that you buy the book, you feel good about buying the book, you want to sponsor this person's efforts so they could afford to write another book.

Steven Butala:                   Yep.

Jill DeWit:                            Thank you.

Steven Butala:                   Before we get into the topic though, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the LandInvestors.com online community. It's free.

Jill DeWit:                            Michael asks, "Hello, friends. I just found you guys and have always had a passion for land. This seems so complicated, how can I catch up? Where have you been my whole life? How do I start? How can I ramp up? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you."

I love it.

Steven Butala:                   That's a good question.

Jill DeWit:                            I know. Do you want to start?

Steven Butala:                   No. Go ahead.

Jill DeWit:                            This is so good. "Do you want to start?" Hint, hint. Please start.

Steven Butala:                   Oh.

Jill DeWit:                            That's my way of-

Steven Butala:                   Where do I start?

Jill DeWit:                            ... kind of elbowing you.

Steven Butala:                   I've been charged with skipping to the PHD level of everything in my past and in the present, and just making-
