How Career Path Members are Aligning themselves with Each Other (LA 1561)

Transcript:

Steven J Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:

Hello.

Steven J Butala:

Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:

And I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from amazing Phoenix, Arizona.

Steven J Butala:

Today, Jill and I talk about how Career Path members are aligning themselves with each other.

Steven J Butala:

This is a fascinating for me.

Jill DeWit:

I love this. This makes me so happy. This is why we're here. I'm not here to have a million members and just sit back and roll out a program and just go up and say, "Here you go. Have a nice day."

Steven J Butala:

"Figure it out."

Jill DeWit:

Could you imagine, it's like I'm at a cash register dishing out ice cream cones. That's not what I'm doing. We're here creating businesses and helping putting people together, not just with us, but with themselves. I really mean it when we say there's nothing better than hearing that you're making more money than me this month. It's really cool because all I think of is, "Hey, please remember me someday when you need cash. I'll fund your deal." It's awesome. It's great. We're doing just fine and I'm happy you're doing better.

Jill DeWit:

So, how does this happen? People in our group find each other and we'll talk more about that.

Steven J Butala:

Why wouldn't you?

Jill DeWit:

Right?

Steven J Butala:

That's one of the huge benefits of being a serious Land Academy member. You're doing deals with other people in the group.

Jill DeWit:

I remember our first, very first live event. People were like, "I was just so happy to be in a room. I thought I was on an island somewhere because you guys are here. I'm six states over. So, I was so happy to be able to get with like-minded people." And now with all of the ways that we have to communicate, our weekly calls, the accountability groups and Career Path and other meetings and venues and Discord and everything. The community can really communicate. You really find that you're not alone and that is huge.

Steven J Butala:

Yeah. When a group of like-minded people... Well, let's get into the show.

Jill DeWit:

Okay, cool.

Steven J Butala:

Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free and if you're already a member, please join us on Discord.

Jill DeWit:

A Land Academy member, that is. James wrote, "I'm buying from a seller who bought the property in 1985 and they want to close quickly and get cash with a local attorney and via warranty deed." Perfect. "I think I should close with title and pay the additional $700 plus two weeks, so I don't have any issues on the sales end. Do you normally take title on the buy and sales and pay twice? Thank you." Close quickly, local attorney. There's no difference here.

Steven J Butala:

Let me clarify something and this is a very, very good question. And I think a lot of people can benefit from it. When you buy a property through a title company, a title escrow company just like when you buy a house, you get a title policy and everything's good and it's recorded correctly. You dot your I's and cross your T's and it's done. It is the exact same thing with the lawyer. Exactly. There's no difference at all. In fact, they usually do it faster and I would argue cheaper and I would argue more accurately because they usually have more experience.

Jill DeWit:

Yeah.

Steven J Butala:

So, please, the take away from this is there's no difference between closing a deal through a lawyer and through a title escrow company except speed, money and quality.

Jill DeWit:

And James, you just spelled it out perfectly. If I go with the attorney, I save two weeks and $700. So, my argument is that's the right thing to do, James.

Steven J Butala:

So, I think, James, you're assuming and it's totally okay. I'm not knocking you here at all.
