Transcript:
Jack Butala: Jack Butala with Jill DeWit!
Jill DeWit: Hi!
Jack Butala: Welcome to our show today. In this episode, which is Jill's episode, by the way, we talk about why to use an answering service.
Jill DeWit: Yes.
Jack 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: All right. Justin asked, "I think I have an easy question, however, I have searched around for a bit with no luck." Thank you, Justin, for trying to solve your own problem first. I have to add that in.
Jack Butala: That's the theme this week!
Jill DeWit: That is the theme! He said, "What is time line to build? I see this a lot within advertisements and I'm asked by my customers, but I don't know. I'm assuming that's some type of restriction within certain HOA restrictions and I just haven't run across it yet-
Jack Butala: Your assumption's right!
Jill DeWit: ... thanks for any information." That's very true, so-
Jack Butala: Do you want me to take this?
Jill DeWit: Sure!
Jack Butala: I usually see it as time limit to build. When somebody creates a master planned community, like Del Webb or Walt Disney ... literally, I'm not joking. Del Webb and Walt Disney were good friends, by the way.
Jill DeWit: I didn't know that!
Jack Butala: Del Webb created ... he's long gone, passed away.
Jill DeWit: Were they together like in Florida or somewhere?
Jack Butala: Yeah.
Jill DeWit: Oh.
Jack Butala: Yeah, Florida, Chicago, Arizona, California.
Jill DeWit: That's interesting.
Jack Butala: Like, Anthem is a master [inaudible 00:01:20] massive.
Jill DeWit: Like did Del Webb follow him around and worry about property he build the homes? I would do that.
Jack Butala: Walt Disney ... if you ever go on Netflix and watch the Walt Disney, his life story, he always had this theme park in the back of his head. He was an animator by trade, but he just had this thing in his head about a bunch of people coming and having fun and live ... and so he took it a step further, Del Webb did, took it a step further and-
Jill DeWit: And said, "You should live at Disneyland," which I personally think is a great idea.
Jack Butala: I'll bet you ... I bet Garden Grove is a Del Webb community. I'm gonna look this up. 'Cause which is where Jill is from, originally.
Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). I don't know, it's a good question.
Jack Butala: Anyway, that Del Webb wanted to take it a step further. "Let's just put all the retail and the fun stuff in the middle, and you can live in the suburbs, and then let's just ... by the way, let's just plot it all and let's, you know, subdivide it out all out the same ... with one stroke of the pen and throw an APN scheme there and we'll put the big houses over here with the townhouses over here, we'll put the ... " That's still in use today. "Let's put the industrial wasteland over here." That kind of thing.
Jill DeWit: Exactly.
Jack Butala: "Let's just plan it all out at once."
