Jack Butala:

Jack Butala from Land Academy. Welcome to our cash flow from land show. In this episode Jill and I talk about staying motivated. It's as important or as imperative as finding good deals. Let's take a question posted by one of our members on successplant.com, our free online community.

Jill DeWit:

Okay. Luke wrote in and asked, "I can't find land that I can buy as part of a little group in Ward County, Texas. The location is missing in all my normal places to look. Any clues, guys?" Where did he come up with this, I'm curious.

Jack Butala:

Well, here's the thing. This is the reason I included this question over a lot of other ones. Texas is not on the same meats and balance survey system as the rest of the country. Texas is completely different.

Jill DeWit:

Good old boys. You know what, those Texas people always joke about being their own country over there. Is this part of that? I have some questions.

Jack Butala:

All kidding aside, it's based on the survey system where railroads are being built.

Jill DeWit:

[inaudible 00:01:12] Texans.

Jack Butala:

I do too.

Jill DeWit:

No, I know. What's funny is I love Texas. My folks used to live there, visit there a lot. The people are so darn nice, y'all. You know how they are, but very interesting. They're not going to change this for whatever reason.

Jack Butala:

No, they never will. If you go to earthpoint.us there's a special section there to find GPS coordinates all based on Texas. You don't have to worry. This has caused a lot of problems recently for a lot of people. I've seen it at Success Plan, all over Face Book.

Jill DeWit:

Exactly.

Jack Butala:

Don't worry.

Jill DeWit:

Well, because a lot of people know there's certain parts of Texas that we can all do very well. That's, I think, why. You can sure buy large acreage there. Which, I particularly love and do really great.

Jack Butala:

There's a lot truck drivers that buy property from us in Texas.

Jill DeWit:

Isn't that great? They're passing by and they like it.

Jack Butala:

Maybe because it takes so long to get through that state.

Jill DeWit:

They wish they could just stop right there and no one would bother them. That's hilarious. You know what else I think is funny about Texas? Is so many of the counties, there's a lot of land, but not a lot ... I don't know what it is. You know the counties ... Good luck finding a phone number sometimes. It's a real small operation. It's really is an old school good old boys. Which, I actually like. Here's my take on this. My question is, you know if you're going to do something on a piece of land out there, no one's going to tell you can't because good luck getting somebody on the phone. Nobody complains, that's my whole thing too. No one's going to say, "You built that too high. You're blocking my view." Or whatever like that. You know, well-

Jack Butala:

Well, we think that.

Jill DeWit:

We think that.

Jack Butala:

Now that we said it on the air it's going to happen for sure somewhere.

Jill DeWit:

Seriously, there's not a lot of restrictions and things on some of the properties that we've owned. It's been very, "Hey, knock yourself out. Go do what you want to do" kind of thing. Like I said, good like finding someone to tell you that you can't.

Jack Butala:

This is not the Texas show, but-

Jill DeWit:

Sounded like the Texas show. I'm motivated about finding good deals in Texas.
