Jack Butala: Jack Butala with Jill DeWit.
Jill DeWit: Hi!
Jack Butala: This is our show. Welcome to it.
In this episode, Jill and I talk about how to record a deed. Doesn't get any more simple than that, this kind of show. Good show, anyway. Let's take a question posted by one of our members on SuccessPlans.com, our free online community.
Jill DeWit: Cool. Actually I stole this question from another real estate environment that you are involved in, you and I are involved in, because this question just kind of ... When I read it, you'll see why.
Jack Butala: Okay.
Jill DeWit: I saw this question, and I'm like, "I've got to help this person."
Jack Butala: I'm reading ahead.
Jill DeWit: Yeah, you are reading ahead. I know it's funny because I emailed myself this question.
Jack Butala: Prepare. This is Jill's peeve.
Jill DeWit: This is so good.
Jack Butala: Maybe her pet peeve-
Jill DeWit: Oh my gosh.
Jack Butala: But a high ranking peeve.
Jill DeWit: I'm tooling around, just kind of looking at what's going on, what people are talking about, and, "Hey, how can I help?" This question jumped out at me, and I haven't replied to them yet online, but I'm like, "Oh, no, no." Here you go. Blank on another communications site wrote (and the initials are BP), "I have been driving for dollars in southern California."
Jill DeWit: It's hilarious. Okay. Red flag, red flag. There's two. "Finding some houses that I will be mailing to you." Red flag number three. "I'm looking to find the owner's address."
Jack Butala: Four.
Jill DeWit: There's a red flag four. Yes. "I think I'm doing it wrong."
Jack Butala: Yeah!
Jill DeWit: I'm sure you are. Five. This is ...
Jack Butala: This is fun!
Jill DeWit: I know, this ...
Jack Butala: Usually we have to be politically correct.
Jill DeWit: Yeah, no, not this one.
Jack Butala: Plus this guy's not a member, so we can just roast him.
Jill DeWit: Oh my gosh.
Jack Butala: Did you change his name?
Jill DeWit: No, I did not. That is this guy's name. Okay. "I attached a link." I didn't look that up yet. "I attached a link to an example house." What is that? Like a picture from his cell phone? That's six.
Jack Butala: You know that's exactly what it is.
Jill DeWit: Oh my gosh.
Jack Butala: It's a house that's fallen down.
Jill DeWit: Oh my god.
Jack Butala: Why are houses that are falling down better deals [inaudible 00:02:05]? Keep going.
Jill DeWit: "Is this the proper website to look for a mail address if it's an absentee owner?"
Jack Butala: Oh my god. Where do people get their stuff?
Jill DeWit: Bing! Eight. "Can someone give me some advice on the research phase of Driving for Dollars? Thank you so much."
Jack Butala: Yes, someone is me.
Jill DeWit: Oh my god. Well, the research is stop it!
Jack Butala: This is what you don't do. This is how you fail.
Jill DeWit: Do I repeat the whole thing?
Jack Butala: How to fail.
Jill DeWit: How to fail by this-
Jack Butala: How to fail, and then unfortunately a lot of people do this. They fail, and then they go. They're out of the business.
Jill DeWit: Yeah.
Jack Butala: That's why it's so tragic.
Jill DeWit: You're right.
Jack Butala: Failing itself is not tragic, it's awesome.
Jill DeWit: Right.
Jack Butala: This guy failed, so hopefully he's going to pick himself back up and listen to this, and he's going to do it right.
Jill DeWit: Yeah, he might not recover. You're right.
Jack Butala: Usually there's one or two things that are going on that's wrong. This is like nine.
Jill DeWit: Yup.
