Jack Butala: Jack Butala here for Land Academy. Welcome to our "Cash Flow from Land" show. In this episode, Jill and I talk about my new office and why it was time for a change. Jill, this seems like a self-serving topic. I'm not sure I'd listen to a show like this, with this type of title. Hey, before we get into that, let's take a question from a caller. Jill DeWit: It's going to be funny, I promise. It's a good topic. Okay, Mark from Chicago asked, "I've been listening for a while now and been wondering this. Is there enough land to go around?" I love this question. You and I get this all of the time. Jack Butala: I know, like three times a day now. Jill DeWit: We're not Holland, where they're making more land, which they are. Jack Butala: Are they making more land in Holland? Jill DeWit: Yeah, they are. They are the experts, by the way. That is totally true. They have taken back and reclaimed land from the ocean. Jack Butala: You're smart, Jill. Jill DeWit: Thank you very much. I do know that one. Jack Butala: You're smart and pretty and skinny. Jill DeWit: Thank you. I pay attention to Holland, because my last name is Dutch. Anyway, there you go. Yeah, they're not making more land. Wait a minute, what's going to happen? Jack Butala: Seriously, in Holland, they're just filling in the ocean? Jill DeWit: They're reclaiming it. Yeah. They're reclaiming the land from the ocean. Jack Butala: You know, the whole Tokyo airport's made on floating stuff like that, too. Jill DeWit: This is not floating. This is really filling it in and over time, taking it back. There's places you can go and see where it used to end here and now it ends here, kind of thing with the buildings. It's really, really cool. Okay. Jack Butala: We should do a show on creating land like that. I'm going to write that down. Jill DeWit: That would be fun. Back to the topic. Am I worried? Oh my gosh, no. Jack Butala: There's millions and millions and millions and millions of subdivided pieces of property all over the country, so no. Jill DeWit: You know what else? Jack Butala: Go ahead. Jill DeWit: I was just going to say something, too, because it's another podcast coming up, but we talked about this yesterday on our weekly member call with our other gig, which is you can make your own land here. Jack Butala: Subdividing. Jill DeWit: Yes. You mean you can take one APN that's a big piece of property ... Jack Butala: Assessor's parcel number. Jill DeWit: Yeah, one property, one assessor's parcel number, and turn it into ten. You just made land. Jack Butala: Every time I hear that famous comment, "Buy land, they're not making any more" ... That's silly. Jill DeWit: Right, it makes me laugh. Jack Butala: Me too, because they are making more. Jill DeWit: They are. Jack Butala: We make more. Jill DeWit: We make more. There's enough to go around. Even like you said, Steven, do I worry about us or our associates stepping on each other's toes? I welcome it. Jack Butala: Yeah. No, it's a good question. I stopped ... When I started out in the late '90s I had that question. When is this all going to end? It's fun, it's great, and very profitable. Here we are 16, 17 years later. Jill DeWit: Yeah. Jack Butala: I'll tell you why. It's because of the way that we tax property in this country. It's the property taxes drive the decision in a lot of cases for people to sell their property.
