Land Investor Membership Levels (CFFL 437)

Jack Butala:                       Jack Butala with Jill DeWit.

Jill DeWit:                           Good morning.

Jack Butala:                       Welcome to our show today. In this episode, Jill and I talk about the Land Investor membership levels. Hey, before we get into it, though, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.

Jill DeWit:                           Okay. Michael said, "Hello, friends. Anyone having success selling on Craigslist? Are you posting your property locally, or are you having better luck posting at other markets?" We have a reply here already, too.

Jack Butala:                       I'm having success. My hand's up in the air.

Jill DeWit:                           Like it. Matt replied and weighed in. "I, too, sell a ton on Craigslist. I had a lot of success posting in neighboring states that have different terrain than my properties. For example, if a property's in the mountains, and the state next to it is flat, people wanna vacation in the mountains." Brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Jack Butala:                       Hey, if you hear the waves in the background, it's 'cause Jill and I are doing this show on the beach.

Jill DeWit:                           Yeah. That rolling background is awesome. We have great view.

Jack Butala:                       Here's a short list of places that you can sell real estate online. LandPin, which we own, and it's for our members currently. Land And Farm, highly recommend it. LandWatch, both of those are good long-term build-your-lists-of-buyers places to sell property. Ebay, Zillow, Trulia, Craigslist. Those are the main ones, there's a few other ones.

Jill DeWit:                           Social media.

Jack Butala:                       Social media, yeah. Facebook is a fantastic one. Craigslist, specifically, is great for terms properties and what we call vacation-type properties where if you live in Chicago and you wanna buy a lot and build a cabin in Northern Michigan, Craigslist is a fantastic place for those types of properties. For large acreage and large-acre deals for investors, I don't think that's the place. Investors are a little more serious. They flock to the sites like LandPin and LandWatch and LandAcademy. LandPin, LandWatch, and Land And Farm.

Jill DeWit:                           Mm-hmm (affirmative). I love it.

Jack Butala:                       That covers it.

Jill DeWit:                           Yeah, no, I think it's great. I like the way that Matt's doing it. It's interesting, too, you have to post it in a variety of locations. It's area-specific and city-specific. Craigslist, and just to give you a little tip here, too, Michael, you have to vary up the posting or Craigslist will remove it. If you cut and paste exactly, Craigslist kind of wonders, "I think they-" ... I don't know what their reasoning is behind it. I don't. It doesn't make any sense to me.

You have to vary it a little bit to keep it up on Craigslist. Change the wording, change some things around, maybe change the title. Then you're good to go.

Jack Butala:                       Craigslist is owned by a guy named Craig in San Francisco. He is bent on not changing the website. It looks like 1998 in there.

Jill DeWit:                           Yeah.

Jack Butala:                       People have full-blown college dissertations in IT rewritten the site, the interface for the site, so it's usable. Why there's no national Craigslist cracks me up. I just don't get it. That's the way it is.

If you have a question or you wanna be on the show, reach out to either one of us on landinvestors.com. Today's topic, the Land Investor membership levels explained. Send me to the show.

Jill DeWit:                           Cool.

Jack Butala:                       Jill and I have modeled the membership levels at ...
