Jill DeWit: You should do that. If anybody hears any clicking right now, yeah, I just wanted you to know that we have a photographer in the room with us, and I am sucking my stomach in and it's killing me.
Jack Butala: You know we're rolling?
Jill DeWit: Oh.
Jack Butala: It's not her stomach that she's worried about, it's mine.
Jill DeWit: Whoops.
Jack Butala: Jill worries about my stomach right here. Jack Butala here from Land Academy, welcome to the cash flow from land show. In this episode, Jill and I talk about a question each of us answer every single week, if not every single day, in my case. What is [inaudible 00:00:35] physical, and legal access in real estate, and does it really matter? Jill, I'm so glad we're doing this show. Hopefully we can-
Jill DeWit: All the time.
Jack Butala: Hopefully today we can really answer this once and for all, not really.
Jill DeWit: Exactly. Could we just say, "Refer to podcast number 62"?
Jack Butala: Yeah, oh that's not a bad idea.
Jill DeWit: Hey, I'm going to put that at the bottom of my email address. For questions about ebay, refer to this podcast. For questions about legal access, refer to this podcast.
Jack Butala: Right? Right, to hear us fail, go to this podcast, episode, whatever this is.
Jill DeWit: That's right. My most embarrassing moment, listen to this podcast.
Jack Butala: No, in all seriousness, we do a lot of horsing around in shows, but this show, I think is actually, it's extremely beneficial, so let me start this way. Wherever you live, you live in an apartment building, or you live in a townhouse, or a condo, or house. You drive right up to it, and take your groceries out, and put it in the, take it into the kitchen.
Jill DeWit: Correct.
Jack Butala: That's access.
Jill DeWit: That's access.
Jack Butala: That's accessing a parcel of real estate on county roads, or whatever. I find that when I describe it that way, and everybody says, "Oh, that's what it is."
Jill DeWit: That's a good ... I like your ...
Jack Butala: Wherever you live, you probably have physical or legal access. When you're buying properties, rural properties that are, specifically when they're unwanted, or they have bad taxes, or kind of this, what we do for a living, what Jill and I do, you have to check that stuff. You have to check if there's physical or legal access, so if you've got a 40-acre property that's, let's say in the middle of a northern county up in Arizona, or any state for that matter, you want to make sure that at least, at the very bare minimum, you want to know the facts.
Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Jack Butala: Can you get to it legally? Can you see it, sort of on a plat map? Does it have legal access, and can you drive right up to it? I don't know, Jill, tell us a funny story about some customer that, or, you buy property every day, do you know how do you check ... Let's start with this, how do you check physical and legal access before you pull the trigger on an acquisition?
Jill DeWit: This is a show where I'm asking you the questions.
