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. And she's going to talk about how to get a land deal done with a mediocre partner.

Jill K DeWit:And I don't mean Jack.

Steven Jack Butala:If you did, I would sit and listen. Maybe we can fix it and maybe we can't, probably not.

Jill K DeWit:What? Wait, let's just hold. Let's take a little time out for a second. Let me think, I'm going to try to think of one way that I'm mediocre and you try to think of one way that you think you're mediocre and we're going to present them and then we'll see if we agree or not, okay? So let me think about this here. It's kind of hard for me to come up with one. Just kidding. Totally kidding. Mediocre. Okay. I think I know one, I think because I'm bored of it, I'm so bored that I've gotten mediocre. I can make a sandwich, but outside of that, if I put my heart into meal, I'll make a good meal. But I think...

Steven Jack Butala:I never thought about that.

Jill K DeWit:Most of my meals are probably mediocre. I don't care.

Steven Jack Butala:You're a mediocre cook, you're right.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah. Because I don't care anymore. I did. But wait a minute on Thanksgiving, I'll pull out all the stops. [inaudible 00:01:27] See, I know what's possible.

Steven Jack Butala:You can do it.

Jill K DeWit:I choose to be mediocre.

Steven Jack Butala:Here's the truth of it. I'm a mediocre eater. So it all works out great.

Jill K DeWit:That works out. So what's your thing that you think?

Steven Jack Butala:I'm probably a mediocre handyman.

Jill K DeWit:I would agree with that. You're so good at data, baby, stick to data. I'm sorry. I was going to build you up here, but I have to agree with that one.

Steven Jack Butala:Isn't it funny when you just self describe anything. Everyone can handle it, but if someone walks up to you and says, you know what, I've been meaning to tell, you're a mediocre handyman. It's like,"what? What are you talking about? I changed the light bulb three weeks ago and it went great."Jill K DeWit:
Yeah.Yeah, that's good. Thank you.

Steven Jack Butala:The truth is I can't change light bulbs in our house because no one can reach them and I'm not going to go buy a ladder. And we have to go call somebody.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah, exactly.
We have a couple of handymen on retainer.Steven Jack Butala:
Even if I bought a ladder, it would be a four story ladder, so I'm just not going to do it.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah. That's good.

Steven Jack Butala:And Jill's accepted that.

Jill K DeWit:Oh yeah, I'm fine with that. Because you were so good at data, baby, and research and a lot of other things. We'll leave it at that. All right, thank you. I had to get that out of the way. I thought that that was important. We needed to share. Okay.

Steven Jack Butala:Yeah. That could have gone way different. What if we just announced to the world that we were all mediocre at things that really matter in an interpersonal relationship.

Jill K DeWit:I'll [inaudible 00:03:22], no we won't share anymore. Let's move on.

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, like 123 Main Street. To solve this, jill and I created parcelfact.com. You can find any property in the country, just about any property by using the state, the county and the assessor's parcel number, which all properties have, because that's how counties send out real estate taxes. Check out parcelfact.com. We spent a ton of time,
