Real Definition of Homestead (LA 1299)
Transcript:
Steve:
Steve and Jill here.
Jill:
Hello.
Steve:
Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land, investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill:
And I'm Jill DeWitt broadcasting from sunny, Southern California.
Steve:
Today Jill and I talk about, well, really, I talk about, the real definition of the word homestead.
Jill:
Why is it only you?
This came up because of a call that I had it. And this guy was nutty. Well, I'll explain it. But this nutty seller was explaining to me how he got this property. He's the first one to get the property. It was never properly, what was the word he said, what did he call it? Divided. It wasn't subdivided. He said staked out or something like that. And I'm going along like a homestead and he's telling me no. So we talked about it. Now we're going to try to clear this up.
Steve:
That's interesting. Because I chose this topic because I was reading a stream, an extremely lengthy stream in our Facebook.
Jill:
So they're talking about it too.
Steve:
Yeah. It's all over the internet man. And it's so wrong. I have to be real straight here. There's some really bad information about the word homestead. And I know why, because homestead means four or five things to different people. So I'm going to try to clear it up.
Jill:
It's funny.
Steve:
And not in a boring way.
Jill:
[inaudible 00:01:22]. By the way.
Steve:
That's okay.
Jill:
Okay, good. I got to say usually we're recording this a few days before. Now pretty much today we're recording on the day. This tells you a little bit about our weekend.
Steve:
We were late because of our social life interfered with our professional life recently.
Jill:
You should not let that happen. And we did, "Well, we can record tomorrow." I'll just record tomorrow, or we can record tomorrow. And then here, we're like, Oh, you can't. We have no more tomorrows.
Steve:
Remember back when we first started out, not with the Atlanta Academy, but just working together. And we were there every day and working hard and all into it. And now it's just a lapse [crosstalk 00:00:02:03].
Jill:
[crosstalk 00:02:06] I guess so. Don't do that.
Steve:
I hear radio radio switches clicking off all over the place right now. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.
Jill:
Okay. So Austin wrote, "Hello. After a somewhat successful first round mailer, I have a handful of recorded deeds from the County," as you should. This is great. "I haven't sold anything so far. I focus in Northern Arizona and have five acre plus desert properties that I'm hoping to sell in the 2,500 to $3,000 range. For this price point, is it appropriate to hire a photo company such as WeGoLook. There's others like that too, to shoot photos and or video, or should I use stock photos from the region and those will be adequate?" Thanks, Austin. And we put those in there for [inaudible 00:02:59] people. That's one of the things-
Steve:
There's 10,000 pictures in the original program of Northern Arizona.
Jill:
That we shared.
Steve:
[crosstalk 00:03:08] 10,000, maybe 8,000.
Jill:
When I say we, I mean, somebody else that worked for us or you.
Steve:
What do you think about this topic?
Jill:
I would, you know what? I think that back in the day, it was hard to get people and hard to tell them where to go. And for them to find properties, it was difficult for us alone telling photographer. But nowadays you could get a guy for 50 to 75 bucks off these companies or Craigslist, and you can give them GPS coordinates that they can pop in their phone and they can drive right there. So I think not hiring it I think there's no reason nowadays to not hire a photographer, to go out there, hopefully see a couple... And you've got how many properties?
Steve:
A handful.
Jill:
Is there a way... Do all of them at the same time. Have your photographer pick the first sunny day w...
