Steve: Jack Butala here for Land Academy. Welcome to our Cash Flow From Land Show. In this episode Jo and I talk about adding staff to buy more land, when should you do it and when should you say not yet? Jo, this is a fun show.
Jo: Uh-huh (affirmative).
Steve: We have this meeting every week.
Jo: Yes, we do.
Steve: Before we get into it, let's take a question from a caller.
Jo: Okay. If this is a typo, if I'm screwing up somebody's name, I apologize. It got passed on to me from this caller. It says Mert, it could be Myrtle, it could be Bert, I'm not sure. But whoever you are from Oregon says, "All the land by us that is cheap is really flat."
Steve: Is that a question?
Jo: That's what I'm wondering. That's what made it to me from our staff, so I'm guessing that you don't want flat land, or you do want flat land? I'm thinking they-
Steve: I have so many satirical ... I have so much to say about that.
Jo: "All the land that is out by us is really flat." Congratulations, because some people really want that. Or then look somewhere else if that's not what you want.
Steve: There's a thousand different things I could say about this. Here's just a couple. Ready?
Jo: Okay.
Steve: All the girls in my dorm are fat.
Jo: What the heck?
Steve: All the land by us is flat.
Jo: Oh, my gosh.
Steve: What kind of sentence is that? Try harder, son. What is Mert anyway? Is that a man or a woman?
Jo: I'm not sure. I'm hoping it's Bert. I don't know how that's even spelled. I don't know.
Steve: Look, can I just have a little philosophical moment here?
Jo: Sure.
Steve: Make your future. Make it. I'm quoting Danny Noonan in Caddyshack. Make your future. Make it. You don't sit around and ... Don't sit around with your feet up and watch the world go by and pass judgment on it. Get in there. If you don't like the cheap land that's posed on the internet or on the MLS, go send some mailers out. Find some cheap land that's awesome.
Jo: There you go.
Steve: It's not how flat or the attributes of land, it's where ... You got to go out there and find it, man. If you want cheap land with huge pine trees, send a mailer out where there's a bunch of pine trees.
Jo: Uh-huh (affirmative). Point taken.
Steve: Am I wrong here?
Jo: I love it. I don't know what to do with that one. Is that okay?
Steve: I think we answered it, didn't we?
Jo: Okay. Good.
Steve: We didn't answer it because it's not a question. Hey, if you want to call 888-735-5045 and ask a question, we will happily discuss it on the air. Or if you're funny and you really want to be on the air, say that right in your message and we'll get you on the air.
Jo: You know what's funny? I was just thinking like if you have a real, legitimate question, you stand a better chance.
Steve: Yeah, we're running low on [crosstalk 00:03:07].
Jo: Somebody typed this up and then handed it to me for this show, so I'm laughing, going all right, what if his name was Bob and they actually mistyped it and it says Blob.
Steve: Blob in Oregon.
Jo: Blob from DC says ... I don't know.
Steve: Blob from Steve's dorm.
Jo: Blob. All right, we're going to talk to some people about this one. It might not have made it for the show next time, but hey, well, we did that. Anyway-
Steve: Can I wrap up my last philosophical part of this?
Jo: Is this going to be the last one today or the last one this show?
Steve: If you're listening to this show and you're unhappy with any part of your life, you can change it.
Jo: What? That's crazy talk.
Steve: Yeah. Instead of sitting there with your feet up, you can change it.
Jo: No, no, no, no.
