Buying an Island with Boat Access Only (LA 1254)
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 DeWitt broadcasting from sunny, Southern California.
Steven Butala:
Today Jill and I are buying an ..., Wow, how's that for subconscious? Today, Jill and I talk about buying an island with boat access only.
Jill DeWit:
What were you going to say we are buying?
Steven Butala:
Today Jill and I are buying an island with boat access only. How great would that be?
Jill DeWit:
Wouldn't that be great? Awesome. See you. Good luck finding us. That would be good.
Steven Butala:
I was talking about satellite. I was talking about somebody who really knows about this recently about the future of cell towers. This guy, his family own a ton of cell towers.
Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Steven Butala:
You know who I'm talking about?
Jill DeWit:
No.
Steven Butala:
I'll tell you later. It's somebody that we know very well that ... Because we haven't ever talked about business socially. It's a good thing.
Jill DeWit:
Okay.
Steven Butala:
Anyway, that this-
Jill DeWit:
What does he drink, then I'll know who he is. Right?
Steven Butala:
His wife doesn't drink at all, because usually she's the designated driver, which I really respect. And he drinks, I'm not sure. No, he drinks red wine and they live [crosstalk 00:01:08].
Jill DeWit:
They live North of us?
Steven Butala:
Yeah.
Jill DeWit:
Oh, that guy?
Steven Butala:
So ...
Jill DeWit:
Cool. I never knew what he did.
Steven Butala:
The satellite technology is, from a satellite perspective, that the mobile technology, I say this because we're talking about living on an island, satellite technology is there, from what I understand, in the sky. It's the devices that we have, can't be this small. They have to be pretty intensely large to make it effective.
Jill DeWit:
Like the old brick?
Steven Butala:
Yeah.
Jill DeWit:
Here it is. You heard it here first, we're going back to the old bricks.
Jill DeWit:
Could you imagine?
Steven Butala:
So, apparently we're a long way away from having a satellite receptor in our pocket.
Jill DeWit:
I understand.
Steven Butala:
But that's not what the show's about.
Jill DeWit:
Why does that work with my watch? Because I can do a satellite subscription, but I think maybe it ties into something else. I don't know.
Steven Butala:
So, it's satellite ... So I wonder if you can truly get the data package-
Jill DeWit:
Because I got the Garmin watch because I'm a geek.
Steven Butala:
I wonder if you can get the real large size, high speed data pack. It's like 5G style in a device that's that small? It's one thing to send GPS coordinates.
Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Steven Butala:
Which is what I think you're talking about, right?
Jill DeWit:
Right.
Steven Butala:
It's not data packets. You can't watch YouTube on your watch from a satellite.
Jill DeWit:
No, but I can monitor my elevation, my speed, I can ... It's pretty good now without the satellite subscription, but it would be awesome with the satellite subscription, it would be that much more accurate.
Steven Butala:
Garmin makes a watch that's four digits, it's not cheap, and we're talking about it. Jill's a perfect customer for that.
Jill DeWit:
Totally.
Steven Butala:
She's a pilot, she's got ... Because we're all about customer data here [crosstalk 00:02:43].
Jill DeWit:
I like all techy stuff.
Steven Butala:
Because we buy and sell real estate. So, we need to ... If you can hone in on your customer, whoever they are, I don't care if you sell water heaters or real estate, you're going to do well. And so, they have this figured out.
Jill DeWit:
I knew the Apple watch wasn't singing to me. And then when this came out, I'm like, "That's the one."
Steven Butala:
The features on that are amazing. And she will endlessly ...
