Jack Butala: Hey, this is Steve for Land Academy. Welcome to our cash flow from land show in this episode. Jill and I talked about getting your feet wet in a real estate investment world with land just like we did. You may want to end up flipping houses or owning apartment buildings like we do, land is a fantastic place to start and learn. It's also extremely profitable in the long haul as we've proven over and over again. Jill, I think this is again one of those shows that could potentially help people instead of-
Jill DeWit: Oh, I think I know what you're going to say. This could potentially be our downfall.
Jack Butala: Oh, this could be our last show too.
Jill DeWit: Exactly.
Jack Butala: Every show could be our last show.
Jill DeWit: That's what I thought you were going to with that. Oh, my gosh. This is really good.
Jack Butala: Let's make this our last show.
Jill DeWit: Yeah.
Jack Butala: Let's just say all the stuff we've ever wanted to say.
Jill DeWit: Yeah, that's right. Let's drink. Imagine if we were taping this recording, we're doing this drunk, that would make it our last show.
Jack Butala: Little do you know.
Jill DeWit: Oh, gosh.
Jack Butala: You should see what's in my desk.

Jill DeWit: That's a part I liked but it was the writing the checks part that was awful.
Jack Butala: I snuck this topic into our long list of podcast topics because so many people come to us after being disappointed with house flipping.
Jill DeWit: Right.
Jack Butala: It's not a hard sell because house flipping sucks.
Jill DeWit: The only thing that's a bummer is they've had not good experiences so they think all real estate is bad.
Jack Butala: Right.
Jill DeWit: Not all real estate is bad. Some you can actually be calm, cool, collected, and slowly make a nice living doing this.
Jack Butala: I have a lot to say about this.
Jill DeWit: Uh-oh.
Jack Butala: My whole career at a cocktail party or anywhere, when someone says, "What do you do?" I say, "I own a real estate investment company." Their first reaction is houses.
Jill DeWit: Isn't that funny?
Jack Butala: If you go in bigger pockets, everybody is talking about houses. Let me tell you, this is my 20-year opinion in this business, the single-family residence, detached residence house that we all know about, and we all grew up with our parents saying, "Buy a house as fast as you can,
