Jack Butala:                            Jack Butala with Jill DeWit. Jill DeWit:                               Happy Monday. Jack Butala:                            Welcome to our show today. In this episode Jill and I talk about the if/then real estate game. With us, Jack and Jill. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landacademy.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit:                               Cool. All right, Bae asked ... Hi Bae. Jack Butala:                            I haven't seen her name in a while. We met Bae. Jill DeWit:                               Yeah, that's really cool. She asked, "I have a couple off-grid living properties, no cell phone signal. Other local property owners even put padlocks in that area. It's a great property, but people could not find it. How can I sell it? Any advice?" Jack Butala:                            We discussed this with a member, Luke Smith, two weeks ago now and he had a pretty good solution. He just said, "Let the problem solve itself." He said he doesn't go look at any property without bolt cutters in his truck. Jill DeWit:                               Oh, yeah. If he goes out at all. Jack Butala:                            This came up on a deal that Jill and I recently did in Texas and the first three or four people that went to go look at the property had the same comments and then the person that bought the property solved it himself. I'm not exactly sure how they solved it, but throughout the years it's been a topic that comes up and I stopped ... My bolt cutters, by the way, are long gone. Jill DeWit:                               Right, we don't do that. Jack Butala:                            There are some people that love, and anybody's who's in this business will echo this sentiment, there are some people who love not to be found. Jill DeWit:                               Correct. Jack Butala:                            That's one of the reasons they're our end-user customers, so they're figure it out. Jill DeWit:                               Yeah, and you know, it's funny and it sounds silly, but it's true and Luke's a great example. He'll put great descriptions in there saying like, "You want to not be found? This is the property for you," kind of thing. Because there really is a market for that. Jack Butala:                            Jill asked me to do ... I write short column in our newsletter every week and she asked me this week to talk about how to post property. What to say, how to title it, some things to include and not include, so look for the newsletter. If you're a member, I guess. Right? It's a members only newsletter? Jill DeWit:                               No, everybody who signs up ... If you have our ebook or you ... I have a group off Facebook that you can sign up to get the weekly newsletter. Jack Butala:                            Okay. Jill DeWit:                               We're going to start really getting into ... That's a good point. Thank you, Jack. We're going to start a series, probably it's going to be a four or five week series starting with, "Let's talk about how to properly title your posting." Right there, because you want to grab their attention, you want to have a great heading, because they're just going to scroll on down. If it doesn't sound like a good property and they see something else further down the list, then they're going to look at that person's posting even though your property could be much, much better and better priced. It just didn't capture their attention. Jack Butala:                            I use the upside down triangle method t...
