Transcript:
Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here.
Jill DeWit: Good day.
Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California.
Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about the five best places to sell land online.
Jill DeWit: I wonder how different our lists are going to be.
Steven Butala: I wonder, too. I do know this for sure...
Jill DeWit: What?
Steven Butala: They've changed over the years, the places to sell land, and they'll change over the next few years.
Jill DeWit: You know, just like everything.
Steven Butala: Yeah.
Jill DeWit: I swear, that's like the number one thing that's on my mind all the time, is that whatever it is, it's going to change tomorrow. And if you can't roll with the punches... I don't care what business you're in... you're not going to make it.
Steven Butala: You know, I ask myself, honestly ask myself that all the time. Like, am I changing enough?
Jill DeWit: I am. My hair's darker.
Steven Butala: Am I changing enough? Am I eating too much?
Jill DeWit: Am I changing enough? Am I-
Steven Butala: Am I exercising enough?
Jill DeWit: Well, you know what? Am I wearing the same shirt? Am I changing enough? That's good.
Steven Butala: Am I drinking too much?
Jill DeWit: Well, you have 10 of these, so it's okay.
Steven Butala: It's an endless list of, "I wonder if this is going to be okay?"
Jill DeWit: I think you're doing-
Steven Butala: Are we doing enough deals? Do you do this stuff?
Jill DeWit: No. I don't.
Steven Butala: You don't?
Jill DeWit: No. I do not have this conversation with myself.
Steven Butala: I do it all the time.
Jill DeWit: But that's a good thing.
Steven 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 I'll tell you this: It's multi... There's a lot of questions in there, and he numbers them for us.
Jill DeWit: All right. Be ready?
Steven Butala: We should answer them as we go.
Jill DeWit: Okay. All right. Steven K. asks, "I'm gearing up to mail to lots with mobile homes, but I need to nail down how to price, as information I've heard on podcasts and Thursday online meetings has left me with some holes in knowledge of that. So, number one, if the home is newer, do you add value to the lot? I know in 1976, an alder cannot be financed through HUD, so generally they are without value. But if newer, I would think most owners expect a value to be given that includes the home."
Steven Butala: Like with every single mailer, this is no exception. You can't please everybody. Like throwing a hook in the water, you can't expect the lure that you're going to use is going to work on every single type of fish.
Jill DeWit: Right.
Steven Butala: So, while you're fishing for bass, with the lure or whatever bait you're using, there's a lot of other fish down there that are just going to swim right by. Here's how I mail mobile homes, and I say it right in the mailer: "We would like to buy your property, your mobile home lot.
