Welcome to the Land Academy Show entertaining real estate 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 coaching real estate agents about our land business.

Jill K DeWit:How about coaching real estate agents about the land business?

Steven Jack Butala:I'm not real excited to talking about real estate agents. I'm not really excited about talking about coaching real estate agents and teaching them about our land business, because almost none of them understand it. But Jill is. Jill told me she's really excited to talk about this today.

Jill K DeWit:All right. We'll get there.

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'll tell you last year, a ton of land academy members came to Jill and I needing extra help getting blind offer campaigns in the mail. In a very short, descriptive way, Jill and I made a company out of it. We made a service out of it for land academy members called Concierge Data. If you go to offers2owners.com, ask them about outsourcing your entire mail process because that's what it's set up for. That's what I do. Concierge Data.

Jill K DeWit:You give them your order. You tell them the property size, and you give them the zip codes or the county. And they pull the data. They do the scrubbing all under your direction, but they do the work.

Steven Jack Butala:Same exact people that I have do my mailers and have done long before that whole entity had a name.

Jill K DeWit:Yep. Exactly. Steven wrote, we have a seller that wants the purchase of the property to be contingent on us installing a fence around it. Who flipping cares if he's selling it?

Steven Jack Butala:I love your reaction to this.

Jill K DeWit:It's hilarious.

Steven Jack Butala:Because this imploded on discord.

Jill K DeWit:What the heck? Well, I'll sell it to you, but you got to pay for a fence. What?

Steven Jack Butala:And why do you need fence if you're selling it?

Jill K DeWit:Exactly.

Steven Jack Butala:So, anyway, go ahead.

Jill K DeWit:Okay. The property would require about one mile of fencing, and it's not a cheap endeavor. Of course not. Has anyone had to sell or make a strange request like this? Nope. Is this something that can be written in and dealt with through escrow and can be done after the close on the deal? I don't want to spend money on installing a fence just to have the sellers back out. Yeah, this is the weirdest thing on the planet. He could put in a deed restriction or something, but that doesn't make any sense. What? He must live next door, and say I want a line.

Steven Jack Butala:That's what everybody said online.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah. He's got to live next door. And I want everyone to know this is my dance area. This is your dance area.

Steven Jack Butala:The only logical reason. And I'm not saying logic applies here. It might just be...

Jill K DeWit:No logic applies.

Steven Jack Butala:Just be wackos. Is that they don't want to pay for... They have an adjacent property, and they don't want to pay for a fence.

Jill K DeWit:That's got to be it.

Steven Jack Butala:That's what I would think.

Jill K DeWit:That's the only way.

Steven Jack Butala:I would never do this by the way.

Jill K DeWit:Nope.

Steven Jack Butala:This is the biggest red flag ever. I would just say no. And if you're neighbors and you want to split the cost, now we can talk about that. But this just doesn't... The person's either messing with you or they don't understand.

Jill K DeWit:A mile fence. That's a lot. Oh, my. Could you imagine? How long would that take? That's a long time.

Steven Jack Butala:It depends.
