Hello.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 is Jill Friday, she's going to talk about how fast and accurate we help people buy and sell land.

Jill K DeWit:Let me tell you what this means. It's about experience. We, because of who we are and the years of, gosh, what did you say? 25 for you and pushing 15 for me.

Steven Jack Butala:It's almost 30.

Jill K DeWit:You know, of experience doing land deals. I, we both and I learned from you, so I've got that behind me. We can pretty quickly assess a property and tell you if it's a good deal, not a good deal, things to do, what to do. You can't get that. That's not a six month endeavor, like, oh, I got this.

Steven Jack Butala:It's not just, [crosstalk 00:00:53].Jill K DeWit:
I nailed one county, I got this, I can help the planet.No.Steven Jack Butala:
And it's not just us. We have a.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah.

Steven Jack Butala:Just a massive library of [crosstalk 00:01:00].Jill K DeWit:
Of our...Steven Jack Butala:
Transactions that we've reviewed.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah.

Steven Jack Butala:On behalf of our members and [crosstalk 00:01:04].Jill K DeWit:
So you can.Steven Jack Butala:
We have a live Discord channel where all of our members are conversing with each other and doing deals with each other, from a funding standpoint and all of that. So it's not Land Academy is, we downplay it, probably too much. The Land Academy group of investors is quite amazing, it's not just Jill and I.

Jill K DeWit:Right, but I'm going to talk about that a little bit more

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. Back in the day, it was nearly impossible to find land without a mailing address, which is most of the properties that Jill and I deal with, or that all land investors deal with. To solve this, we used to access this very crude database that I created, where you just post the APN, the assessor's partial number and the state and county where the property is, was, and or is and it would locate the property relatively quickly, which would set off a chain of events. And a half hour later, you would know where the property is and all the pertinent statistics that were involved. Well, that got to be pretty old. So we re-created it and web enabled it into a company called neighborscoop.com. So that can happen in seconds now instead of hours or days, so I get used to.

Jill K DeWit:Oh my goodness.

Steven Jack Butala:Check this out @neighborscoop.com.

Jill K DeWit:It's one of those massive time savers that I can't believe how we used to get by without it. It's amazing. All right. So Greg wrote, I apologize if this post is somewhat long, but I just wanted to say, I wanted to thank Stephen and Jill so much for starting this whole thing and teaching all of us how to do this when they could have kept this all to themselves. Thank you guys so much for everything you've done for everyone here. Thank God without faith and prayer, none of this would be possible and thank everyone here who provides feedback and helps teach us newbies the ropes.

Jill K DeWit:Starting out, it's easy to doubt your next move or fear the outcome of making an inexperienced decision that may cost you and y'all don't have to share your thoughts or provide any feedback. So I appreciate everyone who takes the time to respond and help out. This is truly changing my family's life forever and giving me the opportunity to provide a better life for them. I never been able to, God bless everyone here. I saw that you showed me that. That was so nice.
