Technology Dictates How We Buy and Sell Property (LA 1074)
Transcript:
Steven Butala: Steven and Jill here.
Jill DeWit: Hi.
Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill DeWit: And Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny Southern California.
Steven Butala: Today jill and I talk about how technology dictates how we buy and sell properties.
Jill DeWit: Yup.
Steven Butala: We'd like to think we have a lot of choices in life, but we have no choice about this.
Jill DeWit: Yeah, you got to keep up, man.
Steven Butala: I was talking to one of my buddies recently and I said, "Hey, what's going on?" Like a guy that I went to college with, like I haven't talked to him in five or eight years. I said, "What's going on?" He said, "Well I'm reading this book that Bill Gates just wrote." And I said, "That's really interesting 'cause I'm a huge fan of Bill Gates." And I said, "What's it about?" He said, "It's about the future of Windows and not just Windows, but computers and operating systems and how it's going to go." And I said, "I didn't know you were interested in that." And he said, "Yeah, I'd like to see how my life's going to go."
Jill DeWit: Do I know this person?
Steven Butala: No.
Jill DeWit: Oh.
Steven Butala: The whole point is I'd like to see how my life's going to go. Like we don't decide how our lives are going to go, Windows does.
Jill DeWit: Like, I'm just kind of curious. You're like, "Nope, you don't know." Like what the heck?
Jill DeWit: Is he too smart for me?
Steven Butala: What? No.
Jill DeWit: I don't know. "He's a really smart guy, you don't know him."
Steven Butala: It's somebody that I went to college with that I haven't talked to forever and we were just social media back and forth. It'll be another ... his name's Chris. It'll be another probably 20 years before I talk to him again.
Jill DeWit: Are you just embarrassed 'cause you were instant messaging or whatever on Facebook? I'm just teasing you. And communicating with an old buddy. It's good.
Steven Butala: No.
Jill DeWit: Okay.
Jill DeWit: I'm making light of it, we're just having fun.
Steven Butala: Good.
Jill DeWit: Okay.
Steven Butala: 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 DeWit: 'Cause I am here to have fun, by the way.
Steven Butala: Me too.
Jill DeWit: Okay. Just making sure.
Jill DeWit: All right, so here's the question. Lee asks, "Hello, all. Been reading the forums for a couple of weeks and joined Land Academy yesterday. I'm going through the Land Academy 1.0, watching the videos where Steven does the data. Here's my question. How much is the data? I've seen ten cents. When I purchased those from List Source in the past, it's per record. Does this mean Steve would have to pay $2,300 for the 23,000 records in his example? I'm planning to get my first mailer out within two weeks. Those starting with 1,000 to test my systems before I'm slowly ramping up. If I'm sending to a company-
Steven Butala: A county.
Jill DeWit: A county, excuse me. "With 20,000 records, is that going to cost me $2,000 before I scrub it down? Thanks.
