Adding a Zero to the Deals You Do (LA 899)
Transcript:
Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here.
Jill DeWit: Hello.
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 adding a zero to the deals that you do, like we do, or try to do.
Jill DeWit: We do.
Steven Butala: It's as simple as that. Last deal you did you made ten grand on it, the next one you make 100, you add a zero. 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.
Jill DeWit: Jacob asks, "I'm concerned about the amount of money the program, the initial mailer, and scrubbing of the list will cost. Please reply to relieve the financial anxiety I have with beginning this journey, thanks."
Steven Butala: Good question.
Jill DeWit: Aw.
Steven Butala: This is perfect for you to answer, Jill. I know you get this question a lot.
Jill DeWit: I do, I do.
Steven Butala: Probably once a week.
Jill DeWit: I do. Well you know, the good news is, we're doing our best to make it easier on you, and nowhere can you start a business, I mean we've talked about this on many shows too. There's not many business, I mean, I can't think of any, that you can get in with less than $10000 all in, till you really get rolling and up and running and even buy some properties. So in a perfect world, I'd love for you to have five to $10000 dedicated, set aside, so you can breathe, relax, do this right. You can get the education, you can pay for the tools you need for a couple months, you can get a mailer our there, and even have some money to buy some property.
Now, having said that, we just made it even easier for you. So just so you know, now with Land Academy Deal Funding, which we're gonna talk about here a little bit more on the show, that's kind of what the adding a zero is. But with Land Academy Deal Funding, now you really can go at it faster and almost not have to think about the acquisition funds, just think about getting your little business running on the side and what you need to do there. So that's probably less than $5000 really that you need, which is not a lot to get rolling.
The other thing I wanna say is I want you to do this when it's right. I have said this forever, my team says this too. Please don't go max out your credit cards, please don't go take out a silly loan, please don't do anything crazy-
Steven Butala: Save up.
Jill DeWit: I don't want you stressing like you're talking about and roaring about, I gotta make the money back my first month, and have any of that pressure and anxiety. I don't want that. I've said this to people and I'm sure back then, they're like really? I mean it. We're not going anywhere.
Steven Butala: That's right.
Jill DeWit: So if it takes you six months, I don't care, we're not going anywhere. Takes you a year? I don't care, we're not going anywhere. We will be here. There will always be people just a little bit ahead of you to help you, you're not missing anything.
Steven Butala: That's right.
Jill DeWit: If anything, from the beginning to now, gosh, the more time that has passed, the more tools that we have and the easier it's become. So let me give one little example too, right now, today, is so far ahead of what we had one year ago, even six months ago, we didn't have ParcelFact, Office to Owners was just getting started,
