Steven Butala:
Steven and Jill here.
Jill DeWit:
Hello.
Steven Butala:
Welcome to the Land Academy Show. I had to check. I didn't know.
Jill DeWit:
Thank you.
Steven Butala:
Welcome to Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill DeWit:
And Jill Dewitt broadcasting from sunny Southern California.
Steven Butala:
Today, Jill and I talk about how all the preppers on this planet, because of this virus have been verified. They're doing a, "I told you so," dance.
Jill DeWit:
What does verified mean?
Steven Butala:
I told you there was going to be a worldwide economic meltdown.
Jill DeWit:
Like they're standing up and-
Steven Butala:
They're standing up saying, "Yeah, I knew all about this. You guys were all going about your merry way buying expensive jewelry and cars, and I knew that I was digging a hole. See, I was right. You were wrong." Why do we care? Because they all need more land. It turns out we buy and sell land, lots of it and rural land. It's all good news for us.
Steven Butala:
More importantly, it's not so much the I told you so people, it's the people that were thinking about doing some prepping and never pulled the trigger. Now they've got-
Jill DeWit:
The closet preppers.
Steven Butala:
Yeah. Now they're about to-
Jill DeWit:
Could you imagine?
Steven Butala:
... let themselves out of their own cage.
Jill DeWit:
What does a closet prepper look like?
Steven Butala:
I don't know. I don't know what a preppers... I think preppers come in all forms.
Jill DeWit:
I think that there's a lot of canned food, artillery.
Steven Butala:
Are they in a flannel shirt?
Jill DeWit:
Could be that. I don't really think about what they wear, but I think about more about if they do their own water, maybe they make their own moonshine. What else?
Steven Butala:
Keep going. I like this.
Jill DeWit:
They've been living off the land. It's so funny. As a matter of fact, we think this is really cool. We were on a, believe it or not, a birthday party Zoom event the other night, which we thought at first this was like, what are we doing? Why are we logging in? It was our friend Marcy's birthday and she's like, "Hey, I'm going to do a quick Zoom toast will you guys join me?" We were like, "Okay, this is weird." And then we joined and we were on there for three hours. All of us laughing. It was the funniest thing. I felt like we were all out together. So if you've not done it, do it. It's a crackup.
Jill DeWit:
Anyway, one of the guys happens to be in Bel Air and has this beautiful sprawling home and on the side of his hill, he's already been growing his own food and he's like, "Man, no big deal. This is what we're eating." And he took his computer and his camera outside and was showing us on the Zoom thing. Here's my garden, here's where this is, that is, I'm like, "This is brilliant."
Steven Butala:
A few years ago the scientific community announced that a synthetic photosynthesis, you know how plants convert light into food for themselves is 100% efficient, not even 99%. And what it means is that you can grow food indoors now safely. So it's not crazy to just bury a bunch of containers and grow your own food, make your own water. It's really easy to make your own water and on and on and on.
Jill DeWit:
I concur. Before we get into it though, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the Land Investors online community. It's free.
Steven Butala:
Thank you Jill.
Jill DeWit:
You're welcome.
Steven Butala:
I missed my line.
Jill DeWit:
It's okay. That's why I'm here. Case wrote, "Hi everyone. I've used Jack and Jill's method to successfully buy and sell smaller tracks between two and 16 acres, but I'm wanting to buy a larger track between 100 and 200 acres for my personal use, and was wondering if the standard offer of between 25 and 35% of comps is reasonable for these ...
