Using WebHarvy to Collect Comparison Values on Zillow (LA 1464)
Transcript:
Steven Butala:
Steve and Jill here.
Jill DeWit:
Hello.
Steven Butala:
Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill DeWit:
And I'm Jill DeWitt, broadcasting from sweet Scottsdale. Arizona.
Steven Butala:
Today, Jill and I talk about using WebHarvy to collect comparison values on Zillow.
Jill DeWit:
Oh boy. Alrighty, it sounds like, and we're out. I promise it's not that bad. This is a good thing, but it sounds like this is a big topic.
Steven Butala:
Today, we talk about how to make the best out of your new encyclopedia set.
Jill DeWit:
There we go. That's what this sounds like, "Today we're going to dissect and discuss your accounting," whatever. "We're going to dissect and discuss all the tax changes from 2021."
Steven Butala:
You know you've made it in life when you don't have to write the titles of your own show anymore. I'm not a writer on the show anymore, and I think that's great.
Jill DeWit:
That's funny. So, okay. Yes, I did have encyclopedias, by the way. I remember that.
Steven Butala:
So did I. Did you have World Book or Britannica?
Jill DeWit:
Britannica.
Steven Butala:
We had World Book. Britannica, that's why you're smarter than me.
Jill DeWit:
I didn't say I used them. We had them.
Steven Butala:
Mine were very, very, very unused.
Jill DeWit:
Remember you'd opened them up and the pages would just crinkle
Steven Butala:
Yeah.
Jill DeWit:
Because they were brand new.
Steven Butala:
Because it's brand new. I think it was a guilt thing. Our parents they had to get it because they wanted to make sure we were educated.
Jill DeWit:
They felt like they were better parents.
Steven Butala:
Right.
Jill DeWit:
Yeah, it's true. You had to have it as a parent. It was a rite of passage or something.
Steven Butala:
It was really truly just silly because any topic you looked up, there was a paragraph on its whole subject. I don't know, let's say you looked up turtle, and it's a tiny little paragraph. You didn't learn anything.
Jill DeWit:
Right.
Steven Butala:
All it did was say, "You need to go to the library and actually get a book on turtles."
Jill DeWit:
Right. Here's where the country is.
Steven Butala:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Jill DeWit:
Not going to tell you that much about it.
Steven Butala:
Right.
Jill DeWit:
Here's the brief overview. You know what? Actually, this is one of the reasons I like encyclopedias, it was a Cliff Notes to wars, countries, all of that. I'm all about Cliff Notes.
Steven Butala:
You'd look a country up and it's like, "Their major exports are shale and oil and corn." I'm like, "Oh, that's awesome. That's exactly what I needed to know about country X."
Jill DeWit:
Exactly. Population. This is funny. We should find some old, that'd be really good, like at Goodwill, it'd be fun to have an encyclopedia to show the kids.
Steven Butala:
These kids, I'm going to sound like an old man, these kids have no idea with Google and then with YouTube how ...
Jill DeWit:
Lucky.
Steven Butala:
... far ahead and how educated they are at such a young age on anything, because I had a computer when I was a kid. I was real lucky, I always started with computers, and I said, "My dream one day is to have a computer in the living room, in the corner." There were no such thing as notebooks back then, or laptops, but to have a computer terminal where you could find out the answers to stuff when you wanted it.
Jill DeWit:
Is that why we had that computer in the corner?
Steven Butala:
Yes.
Jill DeWit:
Okay.
Steven Butala:
That's exactly what that was.
Jill DeWit:
When we got together, there was a computer in the corner and I'm like, "Is that a timeout? Someone has to go sit there and stare at it?"
Steven Butala:
Yeah, your punishment is to go sit there and learn stuff.
Jill DeWit:
Yeah. That would be punishment for me.
Steven Butala:
Jill,
