NEW Land Academy Job Board (LA 1432)

Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:
Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:
Hi.

Steven Jack Butala:
Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I’m Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:
And I’m Jill DeWitt, broadcasting from sunny Southern California.

Steven Jack Butala:
And me from Arizona.
Today, Jill and I talk about the new Land Academy/Land Investors job board. I am personally ridiculously excited about this. There’s not one lick of sarcasm or non-truth to what I said.

Jill DeWit:
I know.

Steven Jack Butala:
I have long, long said the most challenging thing in any business, including this, is staffing.

Jill DeWit:
Yup.

Steven Jack Butala:
We’ve got a huge group of people that know this business, and they’re entrepreneurs. I’ve actually posted jobs up there myself.

Jill DeWit:
Yup. Three of them on there right now are ours. Three of the job postings are for some part of our company.

Steven Jack Butala:
If you’re a member or even not a member, and you’re looking for a job in this industry, we are hiring.

Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).

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 if you’re a Land Academy member, please join us on Discord.

Jill DeWit:
Nick wrote, “What’s the best way to handle a potential seller who refuses to accept or deny the amount of the offer, but insists on me sending her the comps of how I came up with the offer, before any further conversation? She wants to sell, but won’t say anything about the offer price without comps. ‘I send dollars, not comps,'” in quote, Nick wrote.

Steven Jack Butala:
That’s my little comment. I send dollars, not comps.

Jill DeWit:
That is so funny. Sometimes, Nick, people get a little confused about who you are or what you do. I’ve had that. I’ve had people, four from mailers from years back, calling me and asking me questions like I am the county. What the heck?
They get kind of demanding too. I’m like, “What are you talking about?” “Hey, I need to know what you guys show for this, that, and this.” I’m like, “Well, how the heck do I know? I just sent an offer to buy your property.”
The first thing I would do would be to educate her on who you are, and what you do, and what you’re happy to do. I would just stand firm, honestly, Nick, on this one. I would say, “Look. My name’s Nick. I own nicksLand.com. Check me out. There’s me. Yep, that’s me with my dog. There’s my wife and our baby,” whatever it is, “camping. We buy and sell property. I sent you an offer. If it works for you, great. Please, sign it, send it back. If it doesn’t, I wish you all the best.”
“But I need comps. I need comps.” “You know what? You could reach out to maybe …” I guess now I’m talking myself out of it. She could reach out to a local agent. Maybe that’s what you should say. Let’s be honest. “You can reach out to a local agent. They could probably help you with something like that.”
Now, we do run the risk of her reaching an agent, and the agent saying, “Oh, I can sell it to you for this.” You know what? Then let them do that, honestly. But most likely, especially if it’s a small whatever property, the agent’s going to go, “You’re who? You want what? It’s how much? No. I’m sorry. That’s not what I do.”
She’s probably going to really hit a wall. If it’s a smaller property, like less than $10,000, a lot of agents, “Do I want a commission on $10,000? Am I going to make 600 bucks, maybe a thousand, when I’m doing deals where I can make 50,000? It’s not going to be worth my time.” It’s probably going to go like that.

Steven Jack Butala:
If your seller knows the word comps, which stands for comparison values, by the way, you’re not going to do a deal with them.

Jill DeWit:
That’s true.

Steven Jack Butala:
They have a bunch of experience in real estate. They want a current comparison value driven price. That’s not the business we’re in.

Jill DeWit:
It’s true.

Steven Jack Butala:
We’re in the check cashing business for real estate, or the title of business for cars. We’re interested in buying property from people who just don’t want it anymore and don’t want to go through the hassle. So comps? No. I send dollars, not comps. That’s how I answer this question.

Jill DeWit:
Exactly.

Steven Jack Butala:
Today’s topic?

Jill DeWit:
[crosstalk 00:04:34]

Steven Jack Butala:
Today’s topic, yeah, you think somebody who wants to get a loan on … They need some money, and they want to get a loan on their car, like a title loan. You think they’d go in and start haggling and saying, “No. No. This car is worth $50,000 or $8,000”? No. They just take what they take, and that’s it.

Jill DeWit:
That’s the most interesting thing. I’ve never had anyone say that to me.

Steven Jack Butala:
Me either.

Jill DeWit:
I think you’re right. I think that’s just their way of pushing back. You know? “Look. You either want to sell or you don’t. We’re not going to do this dance. I’m not going to provide comps. I don’t work for you. If you like my offer, fine. If you don’t, I wish you all the best.”

Steven Jack Butala:
Today’s topic, the new Land Academy/Land Investors job board. This is why you’re listening. I am ecstatic to have posted a job up there, personally, for someone to help me do these mailers. Jill, you said right before we turned on the mikes, you’ve got job postings up there too?

Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Steven Jack Butala:
What are they, just for fun?

Jill DeWit:
One is land selling for LandStay, our company, to help with that, getting properties posted, really, that’s a lot of it. I can’t keep up. The staff can’t keep up right now.
The other one is Land Academy, helping … Someone who is in our world, who’s maybe a member, maybe related to a member. I don’t know. They know what’s going on, and they can answer some questions and just help field some of the people that are interested in joining Land Academy, that kind of a thing.

Steven Jack Butala:
Good.

Jill DeWit:
They don’t need to be … If they’re doing deals like me, then this is not the right thing, because you’re making way more money doing deals, obviously.

Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah.

Jill DeWit:
But if you understand this and you don’t want to do deals … Maybe you just want to be a part-time thing on the side, and just help people, answer some questions, tell them where to get more information, nice things like that. Maybe even posting maybe even in other … Not just taking calls, but answering emails, and responding in some of the places that we have blogs and stuff posted. That would be awesome too. Or people reached out to us, like LinkedIn.

Steven Jack Butala:
This is a fantastic opportunity, …

Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Steven Jack Butala:
… if you’re a Land Academy member or not, to get involved, maybe make some money on the side while you’re getting mailers out and learning the business.

Jill DeWit:
That’s true too.

Steven Jack Butala:
I see it as a win-win.

Jill DeWit:
I agree.

Steven Jack Butala:
We’ll see how much interest there is. It’s only been up there for a day, and we haven’t talked about it, so we’ll see.

Jill DeWit:
Yeah. I agree.

Steven Jack Butala:
Shortest episode ever.

Jill DeWit:
Well, here’s the thing. No. This is not only for us, but it’s for our members too. We all have needs. You and I are fortunate enough that we have each other, and we fill a lot of gaps.
A lot of our members, it’s them. They’re a one man show. Their spouse, partner, whatever is taking care of the family, running the house, job, whatever. They don’t have someone else and they need help. It’s a great way, too, to fill in those little pieces, like, “Oh, my God. When I ever have to call to get things recorded, it slows me way down. If I could find someone that could just take the paperwork part off of me, or posting property, or even answering the phones.”
We all have PATLive. Maybe they need help calling back people, that kind of a thing. PATLive doesn’t do that. Helping with due diligence, helping keeping everything in order.
There’s so many things that we need in this business that I know there’s other members, and I’ve saw other people on there posting jobs, to help them. It’s great. My goal here, I’d love to … If we can all get one property posting guru, something like that, we can all benefit.

Steven Jack Butala:
That’s how I see this happening too. If you’re just a total data geek, like I am, and you get it, and you’ve got macros written, and you love that part of the business, but the other parts of the business not so much, you can see yourself doing that full time for 10 or 15 people. I think that’d be a fantastic job description.
I personally would love that job. If I could do 20 people’s mail, the data part of it, and the research, and the red, green, yellow test, and soon as I’m done with one, just move on to the next, I think that’d be cool.

Jill DeWit:
Yep. Excellent. I’m excited too.
What is a job board not for? We didn’t talk about that. Would you like to explain what it’s not for?

Steven Jack Butala:
Airing your political opinions.

Jill DeWit:
That’s funny. I hope you see this as LinkedIn for Land Academy. It’s that kind of [crosstalk 00:09:32]

Steven Jack Butala:
No. You know what? I’ve said this a hundred times. We have a great group of people in all these forums that we have. Some of them are public. LandInvestors, itself, .com is public. The amount of spam that we get is so minimal. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had to say, “Hey, this is just not the place to talk about that.” Discord too. Discord’s in real time and everyone behaves. This is a really good group of professional people with a pretty good sense of humor.

Jill DeWit:
I agree, completely agree. This is the shortest one ever.
Happy you could join us today. Monday through Friday, you can find this right here on the Land Academy Show.

Steven Jack Butala:
Tomorrow, the episode on Land Academy Show is called How Income and Property Taxes Work In Your Land Business, 2021. You are not alone in your real estate ambition.

Jill DeWit:
Okay. I’m excited about that one. This is going to be a Stephen show.

Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah, it is.

Jill DeWit:
We divide up things in our world. There’s things that fall on my side of the sheet, and there’s things that fall on Steven’s side of the sheet. Income and taxes, personal and professional, fall on Steven’s side of the sheet, because one of us has a degree in accounting and one of us does not. And one of us hates accounting.

Steven Jack Butala:
Next week … Somebody asked me, on Discord earlier today, to do a whole show on Puerto Rico. If you don’t know this, you should check this out on Google. If you live in Puerto Rico, if you move to Puerto Rico and become a Puerto Rican citizen, and all that that requires, you do not pay federal income tax, period. If you have a corporation, you pay 4% income tax to Puerto Rico, for the privilege of being there, instead of 50% tax in California.

Jill DeWit:
Yeah.

Steven Jack Butala:
I have personal experience with people and their siblings that are very, very wealthy that live there. Jill and I will do a whole show on it. Not tomorrow. That’s just income taxes. I’ll talk a little bit about it tomorrow. But that’s fun. Not paying taxes, that’d be cool.

Jill DeWit:
Hey, need to send out a few thousand offers to property owners, like we do? Check out offers2owners.com. No setup fees, free mail merge, and exceptional service. We should know, as it’s our company. Give offers, and the number two, owners.com a call today.
We are Steve and Jill.

Steven Jack Butala:
Information …

Jill DeWit:
… and inspiration.

Steven Jack Butala:
… to buy undervalued property.
