Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill K DeWit:

Hello.

Steven Jack Butala:

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

Jill K DeWit:

And I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from the Valley of the Sun.

Steven Jack Butala:

Today is Jill Friday, and she's going to talk about eight hours a day on the phone.

Jill K DeWit:

You know what? For some people that is horror, right? Some people are like, "Oh, please don't make me do that. I'll do anything. I'll flip burgers."

Steven Jack Butala:

That's me.

Jill K DeWit:

"Don't make me be on the phone." And you know what? For other people, eight hours isn't enough, I'd spend 10.

Steven Jack 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.

Jill K DeWit:

Herbert wrote... is it Herber or Herbert?

Steven Jack Butala:

Probably Herber.

Jill K DeWit:

Okay. We're going to go with Herbert. Herbert wrote-

Steven Jack Butala:

Whoever did the script makes a lot of mistakes, don't they?

Jill K DeWit:

Yeah, I tell you. There's lots of little holes here. Thank goodness we're professional, we can piece this together.

Steven Jack Butala:

You know what I was thinking in the podcast, you know movie credits?

Jill K DeWit:

Yeah.

Steven Jack Butala:

It's like, key grip director, all of that, so if I ever do credits, this is what it's going to say, "Written by Stephen Jack Butala. Produced by Stephen Jack Butala. Starring Stephen Jack Butala, and sort of Jill Dewit.

Jill K DeWit:

Oh, thanks.

Steven Jack Butala:

Produced by... And on and on and on, it's just me. All of it. Post-production, Steven Jack Butala.

Jill K DeWit:

Mistakes by Steven Jack Butala.

Steven Jack Butala:

Yeah, mistakes by... Imperfections and terribleness, Steven Jack Butala.

Jill K DeWit:

Steven Jack Butala. Here we go, okay, Herbert wrote, "Hey, have any of you guys helped a seller pay for their probate costs if they couldn't afford it to get the deal done, assuming the numbers make sense? If so, how'd you go about it?" I'd be open to this.

Steven Jack Butala:

This is a great idea.

Jill K DeWit:

I would totally be open to this. I'm trying to think...

Steven Jack Butala:

Before Jill launches why with the story, here's why. Because the next person, if you say no, they're not going to go do a probate themselves.

Jill K DeWit:

No.

Steven Jack Butala:

The next person that buys it, or next person that says, "Hey, I want to buy your property." They're going to have to go through it anyway. Somebody's got to do it, or the asset's going to go back to the taxing authority.

Jill K DeWit:

No one will get it. Then nobody's happy, and now we're back to negative attention.

Steven Jack Butala:

You like that, don't you?

Jill K DeWit:

Yeah. I'm going to use this all day now.

Steven Jack Butala:

You're right. We didn't talk about it. Children are packed full of negative attention.

Jill K DeWit:

Oh God! Yes.

Steven Jack Butala:

They don't get what they want, they'll do anything, they'll take a bowl of spaghetti and throw it at the door.

Jill K DeWit:

You know what's funny about that? Back to the negative attention show, we didn't even cover this part. How many people come to you? We had a person reach out to you personally in discord, not that they wanted, then come to my team, still not get there, then they get to me and I'm like, "This is stupid, you're pitting mom and dad against each other. Don't do that." By the way, don't be that negative attention guy. Thank you. Now I'm done.

Steven Jack Butala:

Vast majority of the people in Land Academy who come to us already being successful at something else in their life, whether it's a business, and they sold it, or they're a successful mechanical engineer for aerospace company or whatever, we just never hear from them, and then they join career path and it's like, "Oh yeah,
