Jack Butala: Jack Butala with Jill DeWit.
Jill DeWit: Hey.
Jack Butala: Welcome to our show today. In this episode, Jill and I talk about why mobile home lots sell the fastest. Man, we're going to talk about a fantastic deal we're doing right now. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on landacademy.com and landinvestors.com, the online community there. It's free.
Jill DeWit: Cool. Michelle asked, "Did Offers2Owners ..." Oh funny ... "Go away and was it replaced by LetterStream? I haven't been active on our online community, formerly known as SuccessPlant and trying to catch up." Oh no, it didn't go anywhere.
Jack Butala: Michelle, you're not alone. We're all confused, even me.
Jill DeWit: Yeah good. Catch us up Jack.
Jack Butala: Jill and I started landacademy.com, what, a year and half ago, ish?
Jill DeWit: Almost two years. Well, two years-
Jack Butala: Wow, really?
Jill DeWit: We well, yeah, .org, .com. Two years ago.
Jack Butala: I didn't think it was going to work. It turns out-
Jill DeWit: I always knew it would work.
Jack Butala: I know you did.
Jill DeWit: I've got to say something about that by the way.
Jack Butala: Go ahead.
Jill DeWit: I did.
Jack Butala: I know you did.
Jill DeWit: I knew in my gut, especially with the people that were ... We had people reaching out to us, way before we were ready, as we were just filming and just kind of putting this together. I don't know how ... We just threw it out to the universe and the people started to come back to us. I'm like, this is not only going to work, it's going to work well. We already had an audience. The day we launched, we were blown away with the response so ...
Jack Butala: We sold 15,000 properties and have tens of thousands of happy customers on all the stuff that's involved, so I don't know why I didn't think it was going to work.
Jill DeWit: I know. That's the funniest thing. I just wanted to share that. Thank you.
Jack Butala: It turns out, there's a huge group of people that are just ... They love land like I do. They've got a picture of a cabin somewhere in their head, not necessarily in the suburbs but some cool place that they can pay cash for, 20, 30,000, 40,000 bucks. Get the thing up and going and have a nice weekend place, or whatever the little fancy that you have in your head going on. Mine's never left, I still am looking for the perfect acquisition. I gave it, you know ... We've done a bunch of them that are darn close.
This thing turned into, Michelle, it turned into landinvestors.com pretty quickly. Now it's just ... I kept looking for resource after resource. There's just not anything on the internet. No one's fulling this need that I didn't even knew existed. We were creating places to answer our own questions, for what, 15 almost 20 years. Yesterday's show was about tax sale lists. I got frustrated with the amount of information out there so now-
Jill DeWit: Lack of.
Jack Butala: Yeah, lack of information. Frustrated with the lack of quality information, so we started it and on and on. Landinvestors.com, is a collection of pretty much all the tools you need as a land investor in any manner. I don't care if you're an acquisitions guy for a real estate investment trust and y...
