How to Take Full Advantage of Land Academy (LA 1450)

Transcripts: 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 DeWit, broadcasting from sunny, southern Scottsdale. Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about How to Take Full Advantage of Land Academy Membership. I can't. Jill DeWit: What? What? Steven Butala: My first reaction to this whole topic is, "This sounds like a sales pitch. I don't want to do it," but it really ... But then I started thinking about it. I took some notes. I'm like, "Wow." Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). It's for the people that are here. This is ... Sorry. If you're not a member, this'll still be beneficial, I'm sure. But if you are a member, this is going to be very beneficial, especially if you're a new member, because there's a lot of moving parts. So we're here to kind of describe the components and tell you how to best take advantage of everything we have. Steven Butala: And how to use it. Yeah. Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Steven 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: John wrote, "I'm about to close a deal tomorrow, and I understand I have to register the property, which takes up to several weeks, as I was told at the recorder's office in Los Angeles. How can is sell it in the meantime?" Okay. I'm reading it as when he means register, it's going to [inaudible 00:01:16] recorded. Steven Butala: Recorded. Jill DeWit: Okay. Steven Butala: Yeah. And John's not a member, so it leads me to think he's new. You can, especially ... I know this property's ... Yeah, it's in LA. Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Steven Butala: You can just record it online. Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Steven Butala: You can do it within seconds and get a ... They literally stamp the deed. Now, they actually have a sticker with a two-dimensional or a three-dimensional bar code or a QR code, so they can file it correctly. It's called book and a page, and once you have that, you own it. So if they're several weeks behind, they're not behind on ... It's called Simplifile, and you can e-record it, so that doesn't ... You just got a recorder that is a government employee that doesn't want to do it fast. Jill DeWit: Here's the thing, too. No matter where you are in what county, this is pretty much universal. So you've got the deed, it's signed, you're sending it in for recording, and you're just waiting for it to come back to you. I would totally go ahead start marketing it, start doing everything, and selling it because you could sell it and do another deed. And while you're waiting for this one to come back, you could be sending it in for the next person to own it. It could hit 10 days, 10 whatever-it-is later, 10 hours later from when the first one goes in. It doesn't matter, as long as they're recorded in order, and that's really kind of the gist of it. So don't worry about that. I would not wait for, "Okay, I sent it and to be recorded however I'm doing it." Steven Butala: Yeah. Just sell it. Jill DeWit: "Wait for it to come all the way back to me before, now, I push the button and go to try to sell the property." That's so much valuable time that you could be done and moved on and have the cash. Steven Butala: Exactly. Jill DeWit: Good question. Steven Butala: Today's topic, How to Take Full of Advantage of the Land Academy Membership. This is why you're listening. Jill, you have notes, I see. Jill DeWit: I do. I wanted to cover everything that there is. There's a lot. When we first launched this in 2015, there was one thing, education, and that was it. And it wasn't even online. It was in DVDs which, oddly enough, I have about five sets. Steven Butala: Why is that? Jill DeWit: Because we just ... Okay. Since COVID, we've all decided we don't need our sweet little office that we had in R...
