Your Contribution to Land Academy is Not Based on How Many Deals You’ve Completed (LA 1833)

Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:
Steve and Jill here.

Jill K DeWit:
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, Jill and I talk about your contribution, how your contribution to Land Academy, it’s not really based on how many deals you’ve completed.

Jill K DeWit:
You know what’s funny? People think like, oh, oh, I really can’t weigh in on this or I don’t think you want my opinion or no, you don’t want me on the podcast yet because I’ve only done X number of deals and it might even be 40, kind of thing. But we’re going to talk more about it. No, we want to hear about that.

Steven Jack Butala:
Later this week, we’re interviewing a career path graduate.

Jill K DeWit:
Who’s not done a lot of deals.

Steven Jack Butala:
For an alumni, he’s done zero. He’s bought a lot and they are in the process of selling and closing on the deals, but he’s still bringing a ton.

Jill K DeWit:
Yeah. There’s still some great value there.

Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah.

Jill K DeWit:
Yeah.

Steven Jack Butala:
You know, he’s owned, there’s all kinds of other great stuff, like he’s owned. You’ll see on Wednesday, he’s…

Jill K DeWit:
And we’ll talk about it in the show here.

Steven Jack Butala:
He’s owned a business for 30 years.

Jill K DeWit:
Yep.

Steven Jack Butala:
All that experience being poured into his land career.
Before we get into it, let’s take a question posted by one of our members on a landinvestors.com online community. It’s free. And Jill has a good announcement for a live webinar that she’s doing.

Jill K DeWit:
Yeah. Here’s what I want you to know today. It’s Monday. Okay. Two days from now, Wednesday, August 24th, 2022, 2:00 Pacific Time, you can catch me live on Facebook and YouTube. It’s going to be called Catching up with Land Academy. And it’s all about changes we’ve made this year in 2022 and why it’s a great time to start your land investing career.

Steven Jack Butala:
We’ve made a ton.

Jill K DeWit:
So if you’re not a member or even if you are a member and you want to just show up and give me some love, you’re going to want to be there. And I have a special announcement coming that day. That, hmm, let’s just say, if you’re not a member, this is for you, really for you. So I’ll have some great stuff I’m giving away.

Steven Jack Butala:
We’re constantly making improvements, but this year in particular, we’ve made a lot of improvements to :and Academy itself.

Jill K DeWit:
Yep.

Steven Jack Butala:
Because in response to this new economic environment we’re in and how we’re going to buy and how we’re buying property really very, very inexpensively. We always buy it inexpensively, but now’s a great time to get some huge margins.

Jill K DeWit:
2022 changes.

Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah.

Jill K DeWit:
Exactly. And things we’ve noticed. Also, where is it again? I’m going to tell you. So Wednesday 8/24, two days from now, 2:00 Pacific Time. Go to the Land Academy Facebook page or Land Academy Facebook page or YouTube channel. I have to say that right.
Okay. Scott wrote, “Here’s a question that has been bouncing around in my head for a while. If you get a purchase agreement back on a really good deal and due diligence is good, does anyone in the group have them sign a different contract with a deposit or to make the contract ironclad? Or does everyone just move forward with the purchase agreement, which has no consideration included? So it’s unenforceable and they can bail if they get a better one.”
I’m going to argue that even if you take, even if you do some money down, it’s still unenforceable and they can bail, because that has happened. So I move forward with the standard agreement. That’s what we do.

Steven Jack Butala:
This is somewhat of a real estate agent driven maybe situation because when you put a down payment down and you use the licensed real estate agent contract and you back out of the deal, you don’t get your money back, in some states.

Jill K DeWit:
In some states.

Steven Jack Butala:
Not all states.

Jill K DeWit:
You know, I mean realistically, people will come up with a reason and that goes into being a good person and doing the right thing too.

Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah.

Jill K DeWit:
So, but I guess, for me, the big picture is do I do the real estate, now I have to get a different contract and submit this for title agents or whatever it is and change it up in some ways. And no, you don’t have to.

Steven Jack Butala:
Right.

Jill K DeWit:
Just move on forward.

Steven Jack Butala:
Today’s topic, how your contribution to Land Academy is not necessarily based on how many deals you’ve completed. This is the meat of the show. So we have a person who reaches out, on our staff, reaches out to Land Academy members and asks them to be guests on this show.

Jill K DeWit:
Now, not just every member, by the way. It’s people that we pick. So I want you to know that if you’ve been on the show, you’re hand selected.

Steven Jack Butala:
You’re special. That’s what Jeff said.

Jill K DeWit:
Not short bus special, but you’re special.

Steven Jack Butala:
And so, and he said that there’s a huge number of people that say, you know, what can I possibly talk about on the podcast as a guest? Because I haven’t… I’ve only done 50 deals. I’ve only done 30 deals or I’ve only done, you know, in a lot of cases, several hundred deals. I just don’t have enough experience. So I don’t necessarily think that all you’re going to bring to the table is your deal experience.

Jill K DeWit:
Right.

Steven Jack Butala:
If you’ve been in a relationship with somebody for more than five years, we’ll talk about that.

Jill K DeWit:
I think business experience, life experience, there’s all kinds of other things that Steven’s alluding to, that you bring to the table. And I want to make sure too, for those of you communicating online, in landinvestors.com and in discord, we want your contributions. And sometimes it’s even better.

Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah. Yeah.

Jill K DeWit:
Here’s the thing too. We wanted two parts. For me, is sometimes it’s even better. When you’re a little bit removed, you haven’t been head down in this for three years and come up for air. Because sometimes people who come into this new have fresh ideas and Hey, why have we not looked at it this way? And you might help us all. When I was starting my company, I set up this, this way, fill in the blank, and we could all go, wow, that makes so much sense. We should do that. The other thing is I want to hear, and I think the planet wants to hear, about your learning process. As you’re going through it, there’s so much value that we can gain from that.

Steven Jack Butala:
So it’s really bringing personality is what this is. Even if you’re brand new and you have a ton of questions about, Hey, I’m brand new. I’ve never done this before. Here’s my experience or my W2 job. This is… I’ve got a couple of kids. I’ve only got this amount of time on Saturday morning. What’s the best? Asking those questions, I think, it’s very, very helpful.
I like to say, wherever you are in your career, someone is six months ahead of you. And then there’s someone six months behind you. And so you can really help the person that’s behind you and seek out help for the person that’s six months ahead of you. We happen to be 30 years ahead of most people. And so I’d like to think that we bring some experience to the table. Maybe not. Maybe what you get out of this whole thing is I’m not going to do it like those guys.

Jill K DeWit:
Or maybe we’re old and crusty and you need to get on a show with us and kick us.

Steven Jack Butala:
And complain about it.

Jill K DeWit:
And just say, “You’re old and crusty.”

Steven Jack Butala:
Every time we have a live event full of people, which I think we’re going to have next year sometime, there’s always somebody in the room that says, “Yeah, so you are doing this all wrong, Jack, in Excel.

Jill K DeWit:
Right. This is true.

Steven Jack Butala:
You don’t really know Excel.

Jill K DeWit:
Actually, this is funny. And that’s 100% true. Because like, it is so funny, because they hesitate to raise their hand, like can I help you with that please?

Steven Jack Butala:
Do you ever stand behind somebody while they’re on a computer and just sit there and wait, because they’re so slow?

Jill K DeWit:
Oh, that happens. It happens both ways.

Steven Jack Butala:
It’s like that.

Jill K DeWit:
Yeah. Yeah. I get it. Totally get it.
Hey, happy you could join us today. Five days a week, you can find us here on the Land Academy Show.

Steven Jack Butala:
Tomorrow, the episode on the Land Academy Show is called Reentering the Workforce with Land Academy. You are not alone in your real estate ambition.

Jill K DeWit:
We have many people that have done this or use this as a tool to get back and just bring in some money. So maybe you’re not, like they’re not using it as a stepping stone. Like now I’m going to go get an office job because that’s not it. But just like I haven’t been doing anything and I need to get back into putting food on the table, providing and…

Steven Jack Butala:
I love when people come to us. There’s a lot of… We have a lot of lifelong career salespeople in Land Academy. And I love when they come to us with stories about, “Oh, yeah. When I was with XYZ company selling for them, we did this whole thing and it really worked. And maybe trying it with talking to sellers and it’s working out great. So I just wanted to make you aware of it.” I don’t care if you’ve ever done a real estate deal or not. That’s incredibly useful and thinking out of the box, great information for all of us, for Jill and I and for everybody in Land Academy. So, I’m sure no matter who you are, you have something to bring to the table. I’m sure of it.

Jill K DeWit:
Exactly. Totally.
Thank you for tuning in. And by the way, I’m sure you know this, but we recently released, well, in 2022 released, a few months ago, our latest and greatest and newest all inclusive product called Land Academy 3.0, Catching Up with Land Academy.
