Why We Do Not Have Competitors

Jack Butala: Why We Do Not Have Competitors. Every Single month we give away a property for free. It’s super simple to qualify. Two simple steps. Leave us your feedback for this podcast on iTunes and number two, get the free ebook at landacademy.com, you don’t even have to read it. Thanks for listening.

Jack Butala:
It’s Jack Butala here for Land Academy. Welcome to our Cash Flow From Land Show. We show you how to buy property for half of what it’s worth and resell it the next day, all kinds of property. Great information from Jack. That’s me.

Jill DeWit:
Inspiration from Jill. That’s me.

Jack Butala:
Here’s some funny stuff that happened to us recently.

Jill DeWit:
I have to first share when I’m tired I’m kind of punchy. If I’m extra goofy today I’m just going to apologize right now, unless you like it when I’m goofy.

Jack Butala:
I love it when you’re goofy.

Jill DeWit:
Just be ready.

Jack Butala:
No real work is done here anyway.

Jill DeWit:
No. Not really, especially on days like today. We go through these celebrating modes.

Jack Butala:
I know.

Jill DeWit:
We’ve been celebrating a little too much. Let’s just leave it at that and then it’s even harder to get work done. Hence, the need for me to have an assistant because things aren’t getting done. There we are, but I was also going to add I thought it was really funny what I learned about you recently, is that sand in my car is so cool to me. I think I’m cool. When I come home and I dump out my purse. There’s sand it in, in my shoes and it’s in my car I’m like, “Oh. It’s a hug,” because I love sand. Steven, “Oh, no. Do not get sand in his car. Definitely don’t get sand in his bed.

Jack Butala:
I’m not a neat freak or anything. I just think it’s annoying.

Jill DeWit:
You have a sand thing. It’s really funny.

Jack Butala:
I do have a sand thing.

Jill DeWit:
You know what? You don’t have a dirt thing.

Jack Butala:
That’s right.

Jill DeWit:
Dirt’s cool. Sand’s not cool. Please explain that to me Steven. Why is dirt cool and sand’s not?

Jack Butala:
I don’t know but it’s true. It’s absolutely true. It’s a button for me and I don’t know why.

Jill DeWit:
I have seen you take off a helmet. Have a dirt outline on your face and an outline from your glasses in your helmet-

Jack Butala:
That’s a hug for me.

Jill DeWit:
I’m like, “Oh, yeah. You over there.” You think it’s the coolest thing ever.

Jack Butala:
I do. Did you ever see that Toyota commercial for a Tundra? A pick up truck and there’s a guy on a motorcycle wearing a big, huge bunny head?

Jill DeWit:
Love it.

Jack Butala:
That’s my favorite commercial right now.

Jill DeWit:
I know. Is it still on?

Jack Butala:
I haven’t seen it.

Jill DeWit:
I haven’t seen it in a while.

Jack Butala:
Yeah. I don’t know.

Jill DeWit:
Oh. I hope it didn’t move on with that one. I wonder what the lifespan is on commercials by the way. If you noticed it’s like you see them a lot. You’re like, “Oh, that was really fun,” and then the next one rolls out. You’re like, “Oh, I guess we’ve moved on to a new campaign.” I feel like it’s like weeks.

Jack Butala:
I don’t know at all for sure, but I think you buy a bunch of media time and then you assess whether it worked. I wonder if you say, “Oh. We didn’t sell any Tundras. Let’s stop this.”

Jill DeWit:
Oh.

Jack Butala:
I think something like that goes on.

Jill DeWit:
Makes sense. Okay. Love it.

Jack Butala:
I don’t know though. Maybe it’s branding, it just takes a hundred years and nothing gets sold. That’s not my thing.

Jill DeWit:
Not my thing.

Jack Butala:
Hey. That’s kind of actually appropriate for our show today. Jill and I talk about why we don’t have any competitors. It’s something I don’t think we talk about enough. There’s some serious stuff that sets us apart. Great show today, Jill. Before we start, let’s take a question posted by … Actually by me on Successplant.com, our free online community. Here’s my question, who is our real competition? Do we really have any?

Jill DeWit:
Can I have a few minutes to think?

Jack Butala:
Sure. Take all the dead air time you’d like.

Jill DeWit:
Can I Google right now and just see?

Jack Butala:
Jill in our previous episode mentioned Facebook. There’s a bunch of groups on Facebook. If you live under a rock and you don’t know this, there’s a bunch of real specialization groups. Just about anything you can dream of on Facebook. True to form, there’s a few pretty good land investment, land flipping groups. I’ve been out there horsing around, making people laugh and actually providing some information. Jill and I have three people who have land flipping education companies. There’s three people, exactly three. I’ll mention them in a second. Somebody put all our faces on a graphic and posted it up there. It prompted me to do the show because sometimes you should get lopped in with stuff. Whatever group Brad Pitt’s in I want to be lopped into that.

Jill DeWit:
Oh. I’ll be in that group all day long.

Jack Butala:
Right. My face next to Jack Bosch’s cracks me up because there’s nothing similar about them.

Jill DeWit:
Not at all. Exactly.

Jack Butala:
We just happen to sell information about how to flip land. That’s what this show’s about.

Jill DeWit:
It’s funny. Are you just going to segue right into the show?

Jack Butala:
I asked the question and then I answered it too. Do you think we have any competition?

Jill DeWit:
I’m still Googling.

Jack Butala:
You want to move on. Don’t you?

Jill DeWit:
I really want to talk about this. This is perfect. I’m glad you asked that. I do want to talk about this on this show.

Jack Butala:
In a different section of the show.

Jill DeWit:
In a different section of the show and I’ll tell you why.

Jack Butala:
If you have any questions or you want to be on the show, call 800-725-8816, especially if you think you’re a competitor. I should have these people on our show and really read them the Riot Act.

Jill DeWit:
I love it. Okay.

Jack Butala:
Here’s the meat of the show, why we don’t have any competitors. Jill, go.

Jill DeWit:
We’re different. That’s it. I’m just kidding.

Jack Butala:
I can list sixteen things. The biggest difference between us and everybody else … Not just land flipping people, but house flipping, apartment acquisitions and the whole thing. Is that we provide the tools. They just sell you information. None of them have the same experience that we have, not even close. No one’s done more than sixteen thousand deals.

Jill DeWit:
Well let me back up. We will never, ever, ever talk poorly about anybody because everybody brings something different to the table number one. I think that’s good.

Jack Butala:
That’s right.

Jill DeWit:
I think that if you’re in everybody’s group and you’re gathering all the information-

Jack Butala:
I’m going to cover that in a second.

Jill DeWit:
Sorry if I’m stealing your thunder here, but if you’re in everybody’s group. You’re in everybody’s program and you’re gathering all the information out there, I think that’s fantastic. I am a huge fan of that because you always take something away from that.

Jack Butala:
That’s my if, then statement, but that’s good though. Well I’m glad.

Jill DeWit:
Okay. Good/however, why are we different? It’s because we really do take the time to give you all the steps to get from A to Z, number one. We don’t up sell or do any special little things to do that. Number two, we took it a step further. We are really providing the tools. We started out educating our whole group with exactly how to do what we do. They said, “Great, but now we want to do it just as well as you. We need to have those same tools that we use.” We’re like, “All right. Here you go.” We figured out a way to provide it, become our own providers of the tools by the way and the data. The mailing, everything and make it cheaper than we could all get if we all went and did it on our own. That was number two, a big thing why we’re different. Number three is the support. This is one thing that I hear every single day from our people.

A lot of it is in Success Plant and we do our weekly calls. There’s other things. You could do consulting if you want. More things are coming. We have a big, live event that’s coming in October, but we’re really here genuinely providing support. Not because we’re here to make more money. It’s all included that’s the thing. It’s here to help you get to where you want to be because that’s the best thing.

Jack Butala:
Right. Well said.

Jill DeWit:
I am always amazed. Every time I go in Success Plant, there’s always somebody new posting their success about, “Oh my gosh. I bought this and sold it for that.” It happens every single day and that’s it.

Jack Butala:
Yeah. Most of the people who are in this space, who teach flipping houses or flipping anything or real estate, here’s the professional way to do it. It’s exactly what Jill and I do not do. We never will. You sell a product that’s relatively inexpensive to get everybody’s feet wet. First you give away something and then you sell something. You upsell the heck out of that person and the percentages drop off. For every one hundred eBooks that gets downloaded … Let’s say ten programs get sold. For every ten education programs that gets sold, one of those people purchases whatever those people are upselling. All of our competitors do it that way. We do not and never will. Could we make more money? Hell yes. Instead we choose to replace that upselling with subscription based tools to actually enable you to purchase property for half. We’ve been doing it. We did it sixteen thousand times. We actually know what we’re doing about this specific topic. I know nothing else actually.

Jill DeWit:
That’s true.

Jack Butala:
Just ask Jill. I’m really bad at just about everything else.

Jill DeWit:
No, you are not. Jack, you’re great at a lot of things. Give me a minute and I’ll come up with a few.

Jack Butala:
“Do we sell higher priced education products?” If you really want some intense stuff and we do it in person, yeah. We do but to very, very, very few people. Ten people a year and we haven’t even released that stuff yet. We will.

Jill DeWit:
Hold on. Can I add? They come to us.

Jack Butala:
Yeah. That’s right Jill. We will never publicize that.

Jill DeWit:
I’m never going to hold back like, “Oh. Good stuff but you got to be in this program to do that.”

Jack Butala:
Yeah. No, no, no.

Jill DeWit:
No. That’s not how we roll.

Jack Butala:
We offer multiple education programs for different lines of business. We haven’t released this yet but we’re about to. One line is for real estate agents. One is to get listings. One is for house flippers. One is for land flippers. One that’s coming out … I’m super excited about it. Is to help regular people buy their next house for half. How exciting is that?

Jill DeWit:
Totally.

Jack Butala:
I’m jacked about that one.

Jill DeWit:
Me too. Ah. Jack is jacked.

Jack Butala:
I am Jack’s sense of jacked. Did you ever see Fight Club?

Jill DeWit:
I did not. Isn’t that a guy movie? I don’t know.

Jack Butala:
Here’s what happens in Fight Club. Brad Pitt’s the star and he goes nuts. He goes nuts and he starts this thing called Fight Club where everybody fights in his basement. Guys get there [crosstalk 00:11:03].

Jill DeWit:
Oh. I know what you’re talking about.

Jack Butala:
At one point he quits his job, the whole thing and he squats. He’s a squatter in an apartment building and he finds all these books from somebody else before him that was a squatter. Every book is like a composition book that you have in college or high school. It’s all handwritten and they’re all named Jack’s sense of whatever. I don’t remember exactly, but I’m going to start saying that. I am Jack’s sense of inspiration. I am Jack’s sense of failure. Somebody actually wrote this to me in Facebook. That’s what reminded me.

Jill DeWit:
Tell me. What did it say?

Jack Butala:
It said, “You’re Jack’s sense of something.” I don’t remember what it was but it made me think about that.

Jill DeWit:
Oh. It was a quote from that movie?

Jack Butala:
Yeah.

Jill DeWit:
That’s good. I like that.

Jack Butala:
Why else Jill? There’s a million things. We don’t hold stuff in hotels. We never will.

Jill DeWit:
Don’t say ever. If I can only find that kind of a venue we might have to talk about that.

Jack Butala:
No. I’ll tell you why. There’s a library in every town.

Jill DeWit:
That is our first choice.

Jack Butala:
Our October events, which Jill is organizing right now, is in a library. We have an awesome library here in Scottsdale, a couple of them. The one in Old Town where we’re going to have this … It’s a beautiful stage. It’s well lit. It’s going to be kind of like a Ted talk situation. We’re all going to have fun afterward and we’re not going to sell anything.

Jill DeWit:
Oh, yeah. It’s going to be fun.

Jack Butala:
No upselling at all.

Jill DeWit:
Exactly.

Jack Butala:
People are going to be disappointed.

Jill DeWit:
That’s going to be really weird. That’s going to be fun and they’re going to be like, “What do you mean?”

Jack Butala:
People ask me in Success Plant all the time, “What’s the next step here?” What are you talking about the next step? This is it.

Jill DeWit:
“Are we actually here to learn? What? I’m confused. Are you really helping me?”

Jack Butala:
We have a live webinar every Thursday. Nine people get on there. We answer everybody’s questions, doesn’t cost anything.

Jill DeWit:
What’s interesting is I have had people flat out tell me they were surprised when they talked to me and met me. In some of the things we’ve gone to some of the talks are like, “Oh my gosh. That you are real and you are sincere. You are genuine and you are really seriously answering my questions, not differing me to something.”

Jack Butala:
Yeah. I get versions of that all the time.

Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative). Ask me. I’ll tell you. You want to know? You know what? Steven, Jack. It goes back to your line and I love your line. It is your line.

Jack Butala:
I can’t be responsible for what I say.

Jill DeWit:
You can’t.

Jack Butala:
Is that the line?

Jill DeWit:
No. That’s a good line. No. That’s another line. I don’t know if it’s been the title of the podcast. I think it has been but, “Everybody wants the truth.”

Jack Butala:
Everybody just wants the truth.

Jill DeWit:
Yep.

Jack Butala:
When we speak at REI events and stuff, that’s my opening line. “Everybody just wants the truth.” There’s no secrets or a secret county. We have a competitor named Mark who has a whole thing about the list of secret counties. Let me tell you something, “There’s no secret counties.” All right. There’s no secret counties.

Jill DeWit:
I think that’s funny.

Jack Butala:
What we teach is how to choose your own counties.

Jill DeWit:
Right.

Jack Butala:
If you teach a man to fish. That kind of thing.

Jill DeWit:
Do you know what’s great about that? Is this list of secret counties but we have a list of all the counties. You know what I mean? That’s the funny thing.

Jack Butala:
Yeah. We have the [inaudible 00:14:58]. Database and so do our members.

Jill DeWit:
Why are you going to mess with a few secret counties when you can have every single county in the country? Hmm. Let me think about this.

Jack Butala:
You know what happens all the time? Our members say, “Hey. We’re buying a piece of property. We send a bunch of offers out in X, Y, Z county and we’re buying a bunch of property.” It’s a county that I’ve never heard of and I use my method. We teach how to find the right counties.

Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Jack Butala:
I’m like, “It works in every county.” Another question I get all the time, “Does this work for farm land? Does this work in a big city?” The answer is, yes. You don’t offer five hundred dollars for a farm. You offer fifty percent to sixty or seventy percent of what you think you can sell it for that day. That’s our whole business model. If you’re buying farm land, you’re going to have to send out more than a hundred offers to get one. In a SFR case, more than two thousand letters to buy one.

Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Jack Butala:
It’s probably closer to ten thousand or some number. I’ve never done it but people are out there using this program to do that. This is the secret everybody. If you want to buy an office building, get a list of office buildings from our [inaudible 00:16:11]. Products. Get yourself some financing or line yourself up with the right people. They’re on Craigslist everyday and go by some office buildings. Make a bunch of offers, offer sixty to seventy percent.

Jill DeWit:
Exactly.

Jack Butala:
You don’t bind yourself. “Oh. Jack, what if I sent an offer out? They signed it and sent it back. It’s a terrible office building and I don’t want it?” Well then don’t buy it. Choose the one you want. You’re going to get ten or twenty or thirty or forty, or a hundred letters back. Choose the best one, not the best ten.

Jill DeWit:
That’s the best place to be.

Jack Butala:
That’s why we don’t have any competitors because we’re telling the truth.

Jill DeWit:
It’s true.

Jack Butala:
There’s no secrets in this. It’s a bunch of work. It’s frankly not that much work at all.

Jill DeWit:
It’s not that much of work if you know what you’re doing and that’s what we do. We talk to you about that. Don’t worry about step twelve or twenty-nine. We’re on step one. Now we’re on step four, you know?

Jack Butala:
Yeah.

Jill DeWit:
Be methodical, do it right and we talk about that too. You will be successful.

Jack Butala:
Exactly. That is why we don’t have any competitors.

Jill DeWit:
I agree.

Jack Butala:
Oh. I’m sorry. This is the if, then segment of the show. If you do X, then Y will happen. If you do not want to have any competitors, then set yourself apart by telling the truth, the complete truth. If there’s a bunch of people doing something for a living and they’re all telling the exact truth, everybody wins. Isn’t it better? Wouldn’t it be better if the ten or so competitors that we have … We have four. Oh, here’s our four competitors. Seth Williams who I don’t even consider as a competitor at all. We had him on the show. He’s a really good guy, great writer.

Jill DeWit:
Oh, yeah.

Jack Butala:
Jack Bosch. This is a guy who came to Germany with half of an IT degree-

Jill DeWit:
From Germany.

Jack Butala:
A shirt on his back and he’s killing it now. Do I agree with how he does this? Teaches stuff? No, not at all but I respect him. He made something out of nothing out of hard work.

Jill DeWit:
Yeah.

Jack Butala:
Could you imagine going to Germany with not a dollar, learning a language and flipping a bunch of property four years later?

Jill DeWit:
Uh uh. No way. No. He’s done great stuff.

Jack Butala:
I have a lot of respect for him.

Jill DeWit:
I agree.

Jack Butala:
Mark [Padowski 00:18:26]. Mark was my first student. He and I have shared offices and desks together over the years. Do I agree what how he does this? No. Not at all. He upsells a lot of stuff and I don’t think that he gives you enough information up front. I’m telling the truth here.

Jill DeWit:
You are.

Jack Butala:
Our members come from him because they, “Feel like something’s missing,” quote, unquote. Mark, up your game. Keep your members.

Jill DeWit:
Right.

Jack Butala:
Another situation. I have a ton of respect for Mark. He has a history degree and he’s not the biggest fan of math, but I’ll tell you he’s killing it. He’s buying a bunch of property. Those are our land competitors.

Jill DeWit:
You said four.

Jack Butala:
Oh, did I?

Jill DeWit:
Yeah. I’m sitting here counting.

Jack Butala:
There’s four of us is what I meant. I’m sorry. I can’t be responsible for what I say.

Jill DeWit:
I’m like, “Who else are you talking about and who am I missing?”

Jack Butala:
There’s a million SFR. There’s a million house flipping programs that you can get out there, but none of them are for the tools. They’re usually held in a Hilton lobby and some hotel somewhere. They ask you at halftime to get your credit card out and call your credit card. This is what one of our members said, “When they go for a break they ask you to call your credit card company to increase the limit so you can buy more products.”

Jill DeWit:
I’ve heard that too.

Jack Butala:
That’s insane.

Jill DeWit:
Exactly.

Jack Butala:
It gets me angry thinking about it.

Jill DeWit:
I agree. I want to say one more thing about your if, then statement because I know we got to move on here. What you just said about differentiating yourself in your business … It’s not just our business, in any business. Whatever you’re doing if you are always being upfront and honest like Jack said … I know. Telling the truth and all that good stuff. That will differentiate you period. I don’t care if it’s a hamburger stand. It really it is beef. It better be beef. You know?

Jack Butala:
Yeah. Exactly.

Jill DeWit:
I’m serious. I’m really being serious here Steven. This is not just about our business and who we are. If you have a sandwich shop, have quality products, deliver what you say, what you promise. Be honest and do the right thing.

Jack Butala:
Don’t hold back information for the next level of payments.

Jill DeWit:
Right. “Oh. I’m sorry. Did you want ketchup? That will be another ninety cents.” Don’t do that.

Jack Butala:
It’s not American Airlines. “You have another bag? It’s twenty-five dollars.”

Jill DeWit:
Right.

Jack Butala:
Hey. If you have any questions or you want to be on the the show and you’re not boring, call 800-725-8816. Jill, I hope you have some inspiration for us. I’m sure you do.

Jill DeWit:
I do. What’s holding you back?

Jack Butala:
That’s awesome.

Jill DeWit:
Thank you. What is holding you back? Think about it. What’s holding you back?

Jack Butala:
Analysis, paralysis. We get a lot of people coming to us saying, “You know? I should have done this two years ago.”

Jill DeWit:
Right. What is it holding you back?

Jack Butala:
Is it your spouse? Get rid of your spouse then.

Jill DeWit:
Is it your fear of something? Is it you think you have to analyze something more?

Jack Butala:
I had somebody say to me recently, “I didn’t think I was smart enough to do this.”

Jill DeWit:
Yeah. Is it that?

Jack Butala:
That’s silly.

Jill DeWit:
Are you afraid of doing something wrong? That’s going to happen. That’s okay. It’s a learning thing. I don’t know, whatever it is. What’s holding you back?

Jack Butala:
Do you have too many bills? That’s why people get into this business to get rid of their bills.

Jill DeWit:
That’s very true. “Oh. I can’t do this now. I can never afford this.” Well something’s got to change.

Jack Butala:
Remember that when you were in your having children age?

Jill DeWit:
Yeah.

Jack Butala:
There’s no perfect time to ever have a child. You just do it.

Jill DeWit:
That’s true. We’re going to wait until the house is bought, this happens, this happens and this happens. You know what? If you wait for that it’s probably never going to happen. I agree. That’s my inspiration. Think about what’s holding you back.

Jack Butala:
Reach out to everybody on Success Plant and ask questions. Everybody in Success Plant, including us, we started with zero deals. You go to get that first deal. That’s why Jill gives a lot of property away. Not all the time, but when we get a couple of good deals in she’ll give away an inexpensive piece of property with our package, to get what I call the first deal jitters out.

Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative). Exactly. That helps a lot of people.

Jack Butala:
Hey, join us in another episode where Jack and Jill discuss how to use information. That’s me.

Jill DeWit:
Inspiration. That’s me.

Jack Butala:
To get just about anything you want. We use it everyday to buy property for half of what it’s worth and sell it immediately. Remember, don’t buy property like Jill.

Jill DeWit:
Don’t buy property like Jack.

Jack Butala:
What the hell does that mean?

Jill DeWit:
What was that? I love how you just came up with a new little-

Jack Butala:
I was thinking about it during the show and you buy property way different than I do. I like it.

Jill DeWit:
I might want to spend that. Can I think about that one a little bit?

Jack Butala:
Sure.

Jill DeWit:
Okay. I understand where you’re going.

Jack Butala:
You still get there first for sure.

Jill DeWit:
Of course. I do get there first.

Jack Butala:
I tend to pay more for property than I probably need to and Jill doesn’t.

Jill DeWit:
I tend to pay less for property than I need to. No, seriously.

Jack Butala:
I know.

Jill DeWit:
You are right. There’s sometimes that I’m like, “Yeah. You’re right.”

Jack Butala:
I would rather do more deals and make less money than the other way.

Jill DeWit:
Right. I’m with you.

Jack Butala:
I do not negotiate. I would negotiate a lot less than you do. I would rather send obscene offers out. Obscenely low offers out, get a lower response rate, than talk to a lot of people that call back and negotiate it. That’s what I mean. Don’t buy property like Jill. Don’t buy property like Jack. I like it.

Jill DeWit:
I like the whole negotiation thing. I actually like negotiating. I mean dream it up. When you’re in Mexico and you have to negotiate for your cab … I’m serious. Let’s just back up here. I like this.

Jack Butala:
Are you serious? You like doing that?

Jill DeWit:
Oh my gosh. I love it and I know how much it costs to get from here to here. I’m going to go cab, to cab, to cab. I have a little bit of fun with it to go, “Oh, no, no, no. You will do it for this much.” They’re like, “Okay.”

Jack Butala:
Exactly as a female how you’d end up dead in Mexico.

Jill DeWit:
No, it’s fun. Hold on a moment everyone. They expect it. That’s part of the game. It’s expected to negotiate and it’s all cool. Come on. When you’re walking along the street in a Mexican town and they’re a shop, they have silver out on the street and they’re waiving you in, “Hey. Do you like this? Do you like this?” You better believe that there’s no prices on there for a reason. It changes all the time and they expect you to have that little bit of a thing. I think it’s fun.

Jack Butala:
Remember, don’t buy silver in Mexico like Jill.

Jill DeWit:
No, stick with me. You’ll do very well. Seriously.

Jack Butala:
I am not a negotiator. Hey, that may be holding people back.

Jill DeWit:
That’s my point.

Jack Butala:
That might be holding people back from doing this.

Jill DeWit:
Maybe.

Jack Butala:
Listen, there’s no negotiation.

Jill DeWit:
You don’t have to.

Jack Butala:
If you don’t want any negotiation on the buy and sell side, if you never want to talk to a soul-

Jill DeWit:
You don’t have to. Good point.

Jack Butala:
I’ve done deals. I have never talked to the buyer at all and never talked to the seller.

Jill DeWit:
Uh huh. I hear you.

Jack Butala:
It’s that easy to set this up.

Jill DeWit:
Yeah. You can do that. I like it. You don’t and that’s okay.

Jack Butala:

No need to hire staff - we did it for you.

Land Academy PRO is the brainchild of founders Steven Jack Butala and Jill DeWit. Designed at the request of Land Academy members who are ready for a higher level, we’re excited to continue to provide the tools and support needed by professional investors.

Each level comes with a preset amount of included data, Concierge Mail service, and postage. For example, the Green level includes 6,000 units of completed-for-you mail completely out the door at no extra cost to you.

All levels include a PatLive introduction and preset script (we will set up your phone answering for you), use of Land Academy’s personal Transaction Team to manage your deal flow, an AirTable (CRM) base setup managed by our (and your!) Transaction Coordinator, personal consulting, regular office hours, and includes your Land Academy subscription cost.

If you’re making this a business, Land Academy PRO takes the work off of your plate so you can focus on the things that matter – like running your business.
