Working with your Spouse (LA 870)
Transcript:
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 DeWit, broadcasting from sunny, southern California.
Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about working with your spouse.
Jill DeWit: Sorry, it already makes me laugh.
Steven Butala: I wrote this title and, before every show, Jill takes a couple seconds, jots down some notes-
Jill DeWit: I don't know why this makes me laugh.
Steven Butala: It took 20 minutes. She has a lot to say.
Jill DeWit: Oh, it's funny.
Steven Butala: So, before we hear what Jill has to say about working with your spouse, let's take a question posted by one of our members. This could end up in a full blown argument.
Jill DeWit: I was just gonna say, it could be a rant-
Steven Butala: I was thinking we could have huge on the air argument.
Jill DeWit: It could be all like, "Yeah, well you know what you did?" That's-
Steven Butala: She got done writing for 20 minutes, I just let her go, she turned and looked at me and said, "Well there's good things and bad things about it." And that was it. And then she brushed her hair.
Jill DeWit: I have the pros, and I have the ... that's exactly what I did.
Steven Butala: Oh man.
Jill DeWit: And I brush my hair and reapplied my lipstick, I said, "Bring it."
Steven Butala: She wrote herself into an anger state. Every man who's listening's gonna know what I'm talking about.
Jill DeWit: And then he did that-
Steven Butala: He just got red all of a sudden. I didn't do anything, I was just sitting there.
Jill DeWit: And you can just see-
Steven Butala: Because she probably thought about something that happened two years ago, or whatever, and it wrecked the whole night.
Jill DeWit: If only I knew this is how it would go ... awesome.
Steven Butala: We're gonna apply it to real estate, so don't worry.
Jill DeWit: It's perfect, you'll love all my stuff.
Steven Butala: Let's take a question posted from our Land Academy, Land Investor's Online Community.
Jill DeWit: Okay, Skyler asks, "Hi guys, another quick question from the community, would you guys buy these properties? There reason I'm posting them here is for opinions, as they each have a problem."
Steven Butala: In quotes.
Jill DeWit: Exactly, I'm already not interested if he's these problems, but let's see, "Property number one: Two point seven acres, of rural vacant land, but it's got this huge bladed path through it."
Why is that a problem?
"Do you think this takes away from the usable value?"
Steven Butala: No.
Jill DeWit: Heck no.
Steven Butala: It's an attribute.
Jill DeWit: Yeah, "should I drop the resale price because of it?"
Steven Butala: No. It's awesome. There are people who look for ... now you have two pieces of property!
Jill DeWit: Yeah! I can put up something here and something there.
Steven Butala: You ever see a lake property, where ... when I was growing up we use to go to ... I had this aunt, her name was Wanda, we called her Aunt Wanda.
