Transcript:

Jack Butala:                         Jack Butala with Jill DeWitt.

Jill DeWitt:                          Hi.

Jack Butala:                         Welcome to our show today. In this episode Jill and I talk about what is your unfair investor advantage. Every single one of us have it. We just have to identify it. Before we get into this killer topic, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.

Jill DeWitt:                          Okay. Richard asks, "Hello all. I want to use a legal description to get the latitude and longitude coordinates and create a Google map of my downloaded property files. My RealQuest download did not include this information. I can't remember if I selected property characteristics on the order page. Is there a reason I did not get this data included with my CSV downloaded file?"

Jack Butala:                         Gosh this is a good question.

Jill DeWitt:                          Yeah. Thank you for being detailed too. Go ahead.

Jack Butala:                         Yeah. Thank you Richard. Again I say it every show probably ... But what a group of people. I mean really bright people.

So no, you're not alone in this at all. Longitude and latitude coordinates are all be missing from RealQuest data. And there's no button you can click on to do it. We've solved that quite frankly. And I don't want this to be a commercial but we solved that ... this problem because it's been going on since the beginning of time with ParcelFact-

Jill DeWitt:                          For us also.

Jack Butala:                         For us too. With ParcelFact, F-A-C-T .com and it's free. The first few pulls are free. So if you just go there, sign up and type in the assessor's parcel number, the APN. Bang. You will get a pretty comprehensive detailed assessor's sheet on whatever the assessor knows you're going to know. Plus all the corner points and GPS. Not just the center point-

Jill DeWitt:                          That's my favorite.

Jack Butala:                         But the corner points. So how times have you-

Jill DeWitt:                          It could be a weird like the shape of your hand. I've seen these weird properties and it's all there.

Jack Butala:                         So the other way too is that we're licensed providers and as a member you also get Agent 24/7. Agent Pro 24/7.

Jill DeWitt:                          Title Pro even better.

Jack Butala:                         Title Pro I'm sorry. Jill knows this product really well.

Jill DeWitt:                          Title Pro.

Jack Butala:                         And there's a lot of parcels there, you can get the GPS center point.

Jill DeWitt:                          Center.

Jack Butala:                         But here's the problem with center points. I mean how many times have you looked at a center point GPS coordinate and great it's the center point. "I wonder if the property hits the road, that county road that's going by. We don't know." So ParcelFact ... all kidding aside ... is an incredible value to help you make decisions. And then once you do make the decision, if you're going to buy it, you obviously need maps and stuff to sell it. You can just literally click one button and it downloads all ... like I don't know 9 or 10 shots from Google Earth outlining the ... I mean it's a truly amazing product and you get to test it for free. About 20% of the people that use the free version sign up. That's staggering in this business. Usually it's half of one percent.

Jill DeWitt:                          Exactly. Right.

Jack Butala:                         So hope that helps. I wish I had a better answer for you. I wish I could ... There was some trick. But there's not. We spent a tremendous amount of money developing ParcelFact and probably 99% of the properties i...
