Jack Butala: Jack Butala here for Land Academy. Welcome to our Cash Flow from Land Show. In this episode, Jill and I discuss the two deals that will change your life as a real estate investor. Hey Jill I'm really glad that we're doing this show-
Jill DeWit: Hi.
Jack Butala: -and I intentionally asked you not to read the script, because I wanted to peak your curiosity and because I hope that our listeners are a little curious too.
Jill DeWit: I am curious, so this is going to be really off the cuff.
Jack Butala: We've each done, both of us, have done two separate imperative deals in our real estate career probably without even knowing it. I mean I know what mine are, and I'm wondering if you have any idea ... This isn't a task, or I'm not putting you on spot. I'm just wondering if there are two important deals that you've ever done, that really kind of changed it for you. Just imperative like, "Oh this is good."
Jill DeWit: I think I know one.
Jack Butala: Go ahead.
Jill DeWit: Did it involve properties spread out among the country, pretty much handed to us because of past transactions with the person's father?
Jack Butala: Yes, because I'll tell you what ... I won't tell you what the second one is.
Jill DeWit: Was I right on that one?
Jack Butala: Yeah. Well that's the one you [crosstalk 00:01:06]-
Jill DeWit: It starts with an A, the last name starts with an A.
Jack Butala: You decided what it is. That deal was for sure not the most profitable. I know the deals that you've done. That deal was not the most profitable, but for some reason it sticks out in your head, and I think I know why so I'm just going to let the cat out of the bag here.
Jill DeWit: Yeah I'm curious. What are you talking about?
Jack Butala: Everybody in their real estate career, and I think probably in a professional capacity, when you work for yourself has two occurrences that happen that really change the way that they think. Number one is the first deal that you do. Do you remember the first deal that you did?
Jill DeWit: Yes.
Jack Butala: Everybody does. Every single person remembers the very first deal that they did. They get the check, or the money goes in. It's kind of like your first kiss. Everybody remembers it.
Jill DeWit: Don't remember that. I actually don't, I'm sorry. I feel bad. I couldn't even tell you who it was. At least I know it wasn't you.
Jack Butala: Oh Jill DeWit.
Jill DeWit: We're three minutes in and your face is red.
Jack Butala: I can't ... If we scripted this show it wouldn't be funny. Thank you Jill DeWit. I'm super clear that I'm not your first kiss, and now every body else is.
Jill DeWit: Anybody who knew me in high school and they think they were my first kiss, please let me know.
Jack Butala: Oh my God.
Jill DeWit: I'm just kidding.
Jack Butala: Oh Jill DeWit.
Jill DeWit: I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Jack Butala: Yeah it's a good thing that kids don't listen to this. No there's no-
Jill DeWit: Oh there's no way.
Jack Butala: -there's no way.
Jill DeWit: There's no way. I wouldn't.
Jack Butala: I would never listen to a show that my parents did.
Jill DeWit: No way. I hated riding in the car.
Jack Butala: Oh they forced me. "Mommy what does that mean?" There's somebody right now that's happening. The kids are in the car seat in the back,
