Jack Butala for Land Academy. Welcome to our Cash Flow From Land Show. We show you how to buy property for half of what it's worth and resell it the next day. Great instruction from Jack, that's me.
Jill DeWit:
And inspiration from Jill, that's me.
Jack Butala:
Here's some funny stuff that happened to us recently.
Jill DeWit:
I think this is hilarious. One of our people had someone asking for receipts. I'm like, I think isn't a deed a receipt? I have some questions.
Jack Butala:
That tells me that-
Jill DeWit:
Have you ever had that?
Jack Butala:
No I haven't and I'll tell you why. In fact I saw that in there.
Jill DeWit:
Yeah.
Jack Butala:
I laughed about it a little bit too because the way that we have stuff set up when people check out they get immediate notice and they get a bunch of stuff that satisfies that. For whatever reason I think they're clicking on something, they're money's going out of their bank account and then there's no kind of immediate follow up that's automated that says hey you're awesome and you bought some property-
Jill DeWit:
Appreciate your purchase.
Jack Butala:
Yeah. We're going to get back with you in a second here, we're processing your order, it should take ... They know what to expect.
Jill DeWit:
Exactly.
Jack Butala:
I know who that is and I know why that didn't fall within his ... [crosstalk 00:01:08]
Jill DeWit:
I think it's hilarious. No. My favorite thing too was his comment, I'm about to mail her a sticky note with some dollar numbers on there and some APN numbers. There's your receipt.
Jack Butala:
All kidding aside, that's how you improve all the time. If a couple of people are saying, customers are saying I need a receipt, then find an automated way to do it.
Jill DeWit:
Right. Realistically, I think that was not very- it doesn't really come up, I just thought that was funny.
Jack Butala:
Right.
Jill DeWit:
That was good. I've never had anybody ask for a receipt.
Jack Butala:
I haven't either.
Jill DeWit:
I really think that, like I said, I'm like, isn't your deed your receipt? I'm a little confused. It's good.
Jack Butala:
You just got to keep customers in the loop. That's all.
Jill DeWit:
Oh yeah. Good stuff.
Jack Butala:
This episode Jill and I talk about showing up for your REI career at Land Academy, Real Estate Investment career. Jill, as always, super fun show. Before we start, let's take a question posted by one of our members on successplant.com, our free online community.
Jill DeWit:
Okay. Brandon says, I'm just about done with my first deal. I was really nervous it wouldn't sell. It was 4.64 acres, $1500 into it after back taxes. It didn't have great access so I doubled my money and posted it on Craiglist and Postlets, now Zillow but goes to Zillow and Trulia, we got it.
The buyer wanted title insurance so I have been not so [patiently 00:02:34] waiting to close for a few weeks now. In the last two weeks, I upped my price on Zillow and Craigslist just to see what happen and my phone is blowing up. I hate it when this happens. Could've easily made probably three times if I hadn't been so worried about not selling. Already working on a new list in the area to get properties I skipped over and I have a ton of buyers now.
Jack Butala:
That's it.
Jill DeWit:
Isn't that funny how that happens.
Jack Butala:
Brandon you're doing it.
Jill DeWit:
Oh that's so funny. I've had that too.
