Jack Butala: Jack Butala with Jill DeWit.

Jill DeWit: Dude.

Jack Butala: Welcome to our show. In this episode Jill and I talk about whether or not you really need to visit the land that you buy. Before we get into it Jill, share something funny with us.

Jill DeWit: You know Jack, I had a funny little story I was going to share and then I walked in and I sat down and I thought of a funnier thing, and so I just pushed it aside. I am constantly ... One of the things I think about you and I makes us so successful, is we are scrappy. How do I know we're scrappy? Because you're sitting on a drum chair. This is what's so funny. Here we are, back in Scottsdale right now, and ...

Jack Butala: It's called a throne.

Jill DeWit: Is that really what it's called?

Jack Butala: Yeah.

Jill DeWit: Seriously?

Jack Butala: It's a drum set stool.

Jill DeWit: Like the bathroom throne?

Jack Butala: I wouldn't bring that up.

Jill DeWit: Sorry.

Jack Butala: In fact, that's actually never crossed my mind, that comparison.

Jill DeWit: I thought that that's where it came from. Anyway, we're improvising right now with studio ...

Jack Butala: This show is not about real estate at all.

Jill DeWit: No, it's not. We had to do a temporary studio here is really what's going on. We walked into another area where there's a drum set set up in this studio. Instead of moving things around and making the desk and whatever, Jack just decides he's going to use the drum set to set up recording equipment and use that seat. I just think it's hilarious. I need a photo of this.

Jack Butala: These seats are comfortable as hell, man. I will probably use them in the office or something.

Jill DeWit: There you go. Office chairs are out and the drum set thrones are in. Love it.

Jack Butala: Let's take a question from a caller, posted by one of our members on successplant.com, our free online community.

Jill DeWit: Yes. Okay, so Matt, who is one of our pro members asks ... I love this question. "Does anyone have any experience in buying and selling land in South Dakota? I have a lot of family from there and go there frequently. I'm interested in sending mailers, but when I look at Land Watch, something seems different. Most parcels are up for auction on Land Watch, not for sale. Any advice?" That is interesting.

Jack Butala: You know, we've made a second career out of auctioning off property, $1 no reserve, so that's great. Don't be afraid of auctions. Auctions are awesome. Especially because we're not in the business of maximizing price. Auctions are great for more cash flow and the whole thing. You know, yeah. We auction property off at least multiple times a month, let's say. Mostly on eBay.

To answer your question about South Dakota, it works everywhere. This program works in all 50 states and Canada, and that's only because that's where I know that there's data. It would work anywhere you have access to assossors data like we have. I just had what we call a deal review call with 2 guys from South Carolina. They were looking at doing this in South Dakota, all over the country for some reason, because they had a lot of success with it in South Carolina. Yes, Matt. Is it $100 an acre in South Dakota, offer price like it is in Nevada? No, but it works. That's a topic for a different show.

Jill DeWit: I like that. Well, and Matt has all the answers, so Matt knows how to do all that, to look for how to price it and all that good stuff.

Jack Butala: He does?

Jill DeWit: Yeah, he's all in man.

Jack Butala: He's an actual member?

Jill DeWit: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
