Steve: Jack Butala here from Land Academy, welcome to our Cash Flow From Land Show. In this episode, Jill and I talk about two ways to solve every problem; you can throw money at it, or time. Jill, that sounds fun. I'm sure I'll let it go sideways somehow. Before we get into it, let's take a question from a caller.
Jill: Okay, Erica from LA called in and ... nice. Erica from LA called in and asked, "I know you guys are for real, but I don't know why anyone would want to live way out in the middle of nowhere." I love that, that's so funny.
Steve: That's not a question, that's more of a comment.
Jill: I think it's funny how that comes up.
Steve: We should devise a system where these super often frequent questions would go every other one.
Jill: Okay, that's a good idea.
Steve: You go this time or unless you want me to.
Jill: Oh no, you go. Rock, paper, scissors.
Steve: Let me ask this ... okay, ready?
Jill: Rock, paper, scissors. Okay, ready? All right, here we go.
Steve: Best out of three?
Jill: All right, just one, I just want to do one.
Steve: Just one?
Jill: Okay, ready? One, two, three.
Steve: Oh.
Jill: Shoot.
Steve: We both got the paper. Go again.
Jill: All right. One, two, three.
Steve: Oh.
Jill: Ah, I won.
Steve: She won.
Jill: I got paper, he had rock.
Steve: I put rock.
Jill: Yeah, now you got to answer the question.
Steve: Why would anybody ever want to ... first of all, we never use that phrase anymore here. We don't say, "Middle of nowhere." I got sick of it about six years ago, it snucks it's way back in this office. Not this office but now that we have Land Academy.
Jill: I hear it now and then, but you know what, everybody kind of gets it, they're good about it.
Steve: Here's the thing, there's a bajillion people that want to live everywhere, okay? The internet's never been more popular, it's getting better and better and better. There's technology for solving your own water and sewer, and all the stuff that's required to live on properties; it gets better every year. Man, I mean, if there is problem selling these type of assets, Jill, then I guess we wouldn't have done just about sixteen thousand transactions.
Jill: I know, that's the best part. It's like ... my product is flying off the shelves, so ...
Steve: I've begun to say this, "Why would anybody want to live in Manhattan?" I wouldn't.
Jill: That's an even better question. You're right.
Steve: I'd love to go to New York for two days, it's like Las Vegas, two days and that's it.
Jill: Let's think about this; you can see the sky, you can breath, you can park, people aren't running into you. Yeah, why would you live downtown? Next.
Steve: You know, I never heard a million people say this, I don't understand this, but I'm going to make my point here in a second. Why would anybody live in Southern California. There's so much traffic, there's a ton of pollution, and I personally think that person's nuts. I know you agree, Jill.
Jill: Did you really just say that?
Steve: I love Southern California ...
Jill: Okay, thank you.
Steve: ... but it's just ... to each his own. People line up that are ... don't want a mortgage, first of all. It costs next to nothing to live in a lot of these places. And we don't just sell properties that we have in the middle of certain places. We sell properties everywhere, so no, I think, really, the root of the question is, "Yeah, you can buy it cheap, but does anybody really gonna buy it from you?" That's what I think the root of the question is.
Jill: The answer is, "Yes."
