Thanks for listening. Jack Butala: Jack Butala and Jill DeWit. Jill DeWit: Hi. Jack Butala: Welcome to our show. In this episode, Jill and I talk about property we buy east of the Mississippi with great success. Great show today, Jill. Jill DeWit: Yes. Jack Butala: It's the answer to the one before it, west of the Mississippi. Jill DeWit: Exactly. Jack Butala: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on Successplant.com, our free online community. Jill DeWit: Fantastic. This just came in yesterday or today. Angela asks: "I've been contemplating joining Land Academy but I know how Jack and Jill feel about Alaska properties." I didn't even know how I feel about Alaska properties so I thought that was really funny. Jack Butala: I can't wait to hear this. Jill DeWit: I'm like, I don't know. Did I have an opinion? "I'll probably join regardless but just wanted to ask if anybody has used it for Alaska properties. I just sold my first land deal yesterday. I acquired it using a back tax list. The problem with land up there is higher cost, so I only had enough cash to buy 2 lots. I'm thinking I should just get into Land Academy and Data to Doorstep and branch out into other states and buy more quantity, lower cost lots." Awesome, Angela. I'm glad you are here and I'm glad you have found us and you're asking all the right questions. I confirmed and the answer is yes as far as our data, just so you know. Jack's going to talk more about Alaska. It sounds like you figured some stuff out on your own, but I went just to make sure in Data to Doorstep and we're talking 99 percent of counties, we really mean 99 percent of US counties and Alaska, heck yeah, is in there by the way in Data to Doorstep, knock yourself out, and in case anyone's wondering, Hawaii is also included. If you want to pull data for both of those places it's available. Jack? Jack Butala: I sent ... I'm so glad that Angela said this. Again, Jill, I've never thought ... I've never had a positive or negative feeling about Alaska. Maybe, I don't know. Anyway ... I have purchased properties in Alaska and Hawaii sending mail to offers, exactly like we do, we talk about all the time, and with great success, specifically on Hawaii's large island. Did you know that Hawaii has the largest cattle farm in the world? Jill DeWit: I did not know that. Jack Butala: Isn't that crazy? On that island specifically. Anyway, there's a lot of property to be purchased. Not so much via the back tax method which we've talked about a million times. It's not my favorite way, but sending letters to Alaska and Hawaii is a great way, and no, it doesn't have to be more expensive. I will say this on this, on her sentiment about fewer properties, higher cost, there's nothing wrong with that. We have a lot of members who choose that route. They choose to do one or two deals a month, they pay a little bit more for their properties and then they sell them for a little bit more and then they make a little more. You can make 5, 10, 15 thousand dollars a month doing one or two transactions. There's nothing wrong with doing 2 good Alaska deals, especially for people who have one and two jobs. A lot of our members have, they have work full time too. It works great. It's all how you work it. We have the tools. Jill and I choose to do it like a machine where we just buy and sell a ton of properties all the time and with a pretty fairly low margin to ensure that our customers come back, but we have, probably I would say, Jill, half of our members choose the other way.
