Transcript:
Steven Jack Butala:
Steve and Jill here.
Jill K DeWit:
Hi.
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, Jill and I talk about how much there's just so much land investing success being reported on our little discord community for Land Academy. Before we really, you can get a peak at it. If you're not a Land Academy member, just go to landinvestors.com. Right on the front page, there's a view only and just scroll around, take a look at-
Jill K DeWit:
The conversations.
Steven Jack Butala:
You can see what we're talking about with each other and how and why it's such a really, really effective tool.
Jill K DeWit:
Yep.
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. And I hope by now, you know that Jill and I have a full blown operational commercial printing company called Offers2owners.com. We only send out offers to owners to buy real estate, whether it's houses or land or whatever. We don't print catalogs. We don't take on any type of orders in any way for any of that stuff. And it's very successful. We send out between half a million and 8 or 900,000 letters for customers every month.
Jill K DeWit:
Steve H wrote, I was waiting for this-
Steven Jack Butala:
Teleprompter.
Jill K DeWit:
Yep, was waiting for it to catch up with me. I didn't have a brain fart or whatever that is.
Steven Jack Butala:
What?
Jill K DeWit:
I don't know. Like people say you're brain freezes. They say that, so, okay. So, this is obviously something I figured was going to tie into today's show. So Steve H wrote, I just broke a million bucks in partnership. I'm guessing partnerships deals.
Steven Jack Butala:
Steve H is a funder.
Jill K DeWit:
Yeah.
Steven Jack Butala:
He doesn't send his own mailers out. He's been in our group for about a year.
Jill K DeWit:
Yep. [inaudible 00:02:00].
Steven Jack Butala:
Real actively discord. And he's just recently broke a million bucks. He's placed a million dollars of his own money.
Jill K DeWit:
Yep.
Steven Jack Butala:
For other people to-
Jill K DeWit:
Get their deals funded.
Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah.
Jill K DeWit:
That's what people don't realize. There's a healthy group of folks like Steve in our community that are not here to do it, to send their own mail and answer their own phone and get their own deals up.
Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah.
Jill K DeWit:
They're here to fund people's deals and make money.
Steven Jack Butala:
But it's all in discord.
Jill K DeWit:
Well, the value too for him is he knows how smart these people are. He's here for a reason. He could be out on the street funding other people's deals, but he doesn't know what they know. He doesn't know what the background is, where they were trained, how they found the deal, the mechanics, all of that, which is so valuable. I too-
Steven Jack Butala:
Let me get this out of the way.
Jill K DeWit:
Oh.
Steven Jack Butala:
Today's topic, so much land investing success on discord. This is why you're listening. Go ahead.
Jill K DeWit:
Is that just killing you? Just killing you.
Steven Jack Butala:
Because I have a lot to say too.
Jill K DeWit:
Okay. No, I was just going to say though, and I do that too. I have to tell you, I do fund other people's deals, but it's not that often because you know what? Most of the other people's deals that are not Land Academy members that make it to me, there's problems. They bought them wrong. There's an agent involved. They don't know what they're doing. I'm just like, "Nope, nope, nope, nope and nope."
Steven Jack Butala:
We have a disproportionate number of people in our group who have other companies. And Steve's one of them.
