Steven J Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:

Hi.

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 pretty Phoenix, Arizona.

Steven J Butala:

Today Jill and I talk about how internet trolling has become acceptable and this is what we do about it. Before we get into it, though, let's take a question.

Jill DeWit:

I was thinking [crosstalk 00:00:28].

Steven J Butala:

Oh sorry.

Jill DeWit:

It's okay.

Steven J Butala:

Go ahead.

Jill DeWit:

No, it's just it makes me a little bit mad and it's very interesting. And what does this have to do with us? We'll tell you in a minute. It does.

Steven J Butala:

We created Land Academy.

Jill DeWit:

Yeah.

Steven J Butala:

To really improve people's lives and to create business partners for ourselves. And things like ... you can't ever anticipate something like this, but-

Jill DeWit:

It still happens.

Steven J Butala:

Ut won't be prevalent in our group, let's put it that way.

Jill DeWit:

[crosstalk 00:00:54] funny.

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 with us and you're not a troll, join us on Discord.

Jill DeWit:

Okay. So Vic wrote ... this is long. So I'm going to do first part, you do the second part [crosstalk 00:01:12]-

Steven J Butala:

Long but incredibly important. This is a great question, a great series of questions and comments about access.

Jill DeWit:

Okay. So Vic wrote this initial question. I am in escrow on a property in Florida. And I'm running into a bit of a confusing situation for me as far as the access goes. I can clearly see a road running through the property and it has a street name as well. However, the township said they do not maintain it and is likely a private road or easement. When I look at the vesting deed, I see nothing in there about an easement. But what I do see on the deed after legal description is something that says less road right of way. So what does that mean? And what does this mean about the access?

Steven J Butala:

Excellent question. Access, access, access is one of our [crosstalk 00:02:03]-

Jill DeWit:

One of our five As.

Steven J Butala:

One of the five As and it's incredibly important.

Jill DeWit:

It's important. That's why one of the As.

Steven J Butala:

[crosstalk 00:02:08] you or the person you sell it to, to get to your property, within reason, without a helicopter. Kevin responds, Vic, the road is most likely a private road, i.e. not maintained by the county. Exactly. This is something that will affect your ability to sell the property quickly. When you get the preliminary title report, they should have the easements called out on the property. The road right of way thing sounds like the county has an easement for a possible future road in that area. You need to know about that and how much it takes out of this parcel. Meaning it's going to make it smaller. There's already an easement in the deed of this property to another property or a set of properties. If you get the information from the title report and you don't like the deal, you can renegotiate or decline to purchase. Jill and I just did this. You may have some fees to pay the title company if you need to do that. But that's very unusual.

Jill DeWit:

Exactly. Laurie went on to add, hey, I've had this situation play out in different ways. Some of them based on county records and others based on state law. But a title company should be the ones provide you the information. Here's what I've seen. Number one, the private road and ownership marked on a survey for one of the bordering properties. Sorry.

Steven J Butala:

That's awesome. [inaudible 00:03:31]. If you're listening to this, we have-
