Jack Butala:                            Jack Butala with Jill DeWit.

Jill DeWit:                               Hello.

Jack Butala:                            Welcome to our show today. In this episode, Jill and I talk about how Haight is not a mailer success gage. What the heck does that mean?

Jill DeWit:                               I know, thinks it's so funny. We'll talk about that.

Jack Butala:                            Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on TheLandAcademy.com online community. It's free.

Jill DeWit:                               Okay. Kevin asked, "I am sending in a deed for recording, and did not specify a sales price in the deed, just says, 'Good and valuable consideration'." Which is perfect. "My county charges a small fee for every hundred dollars over five hundred dollars for recording the deed." Very normal. "Do I need to send the county of my purchase agreement with the seller when I send in the deed for recording, to verify the sales price?"

Jack Butala:                            Do you want to take this Jill?

Jill DeWit:                               I think it's a perfect idea, and I would.

Jack Butala:                            I have a diametrically opposite opinion.

Jill DeWit:                               Oh, really?

Jack Butala:                            Yep.

Jill DeWit:                               Okay, so this county clearly does not have their own little addendum that they attach, like-

Jack Butala:                            Yeah they do, he's missing it.

Jill DeWit:                               Oh, he doesn't have the affidavit of property value?

Jack Butala:                            That's my [get 00:01:09]. Well so-

Jill DeWit:                               We don't know what county it is, or what state.

Jack Butala:                            -that's one of the reasons you should use Deed Perfect.

Jill DeWit:                               This is true.

Jack Butala:                            By the way. No we don't, but the vast majority of states require an addendum attached to the deed. They require it.

Jill DeWit:                               Well, you know what?

Jack Butala:                            Because the assessor needs separate information from the recorder.

Jill DeWit:                               You know what? Let me back up. I would not ... You're right, I would not include the purchase agreement, but I would state, "I bought it for $500.00. Here's your $2.50 for the $500.00 fee." Is what it is.

Jack Butala:                            There's like three or four points to make in this question, and it's a fantastic question. I'm-

Jill DeWit:                               Yeah.

Jack Butala:                            We have a bunch of Kevin's, but I know who ... I know which one this is.

Jill DeWit:                               I ... You know what Jack, I really do think that there are some countries, and I think I could be wrong, but I want to say, it's like a documentary transfer tax.

Jack Butala:                            Yeah. California, exactly that.

Jill DeWit:                               Right, and, I might be wrong, but, I don't remember them always having the associated affidavit. Maybe they do, because that's how they verify it.

Jack Butala:                            California is a perfect example. You have to file it PCO. PCO is an acronym for change of ownership, or records.

Jill DeWit:                               Property change of Ownership.

Jack Butala:                            Yeah. In there is the price.

Jill DeWit:                               Change of recor...
