Jack Butala:                   Jack Butala here for Land Academy. Welcome to our Cash Flow from Land show. In this episode, Jill and I talk about our Data2DoorStep product and its success. Jill, this is a celebration episode, actually. I can't wait to talk to you about this, but before we do, let's take a question from a caller. Jill DeWit:                            Okay. Stan from Minnesota called in and asked this question, which, by the way, he called in by calling 888-735-5045. If you have a question, send it to us. Call us and leave it on our recording there, and we'll either answer your question on the air or we might even have you. Stan asked, "Should I buy a property in an area where there is an HOA?" Good question. Jack Butala:                   What's an HOA, first? Jill DeWit:                            An HOA is a homeowners association. Gosh, when did that start? Was that bigger in the '80s? Did that really start then? Jack Butala:                   I think so, yeah. I think sometimes it's called LOA, too. Landowners association. It stands for homeowners association. Either love them or you hate them. Jill DeWit:                            Exactly. It's the people that leave notes that your weeds are getting too long, or your garage door's open too long, or you should have your trash bins in. That kind of thing is what I remember. Even for some properties where they're undeveloped, it still might be in an HOA. Don't find them a whole lot, but some of the subdivisions that we buy and sell property in, they're there. You know what? Does not make a difference to me. It's just a fact, and like Steven said, you love it or you hate it. Some people love it, because they know that it makes sure the property's going to look good and retain its value. That's the ultimate goal, I think, is why they do those things. Jack Butala:                   Right. Jill DeWit:                            There might be extra fees involved because you're in an HOA situation, a homeowners association situation, but that shouldn't deter you at all. All you do, when you buy it, just make sure you check the fees and make sure they're current, or at least have an idea where they stand. Then when you sell it, make sure that you properly share all that information with your buyer, as well. Jack Butala:                   Right. Jill DeWit:                            Do you have anything else you want to add? Jack Butala:                   No, I think it's totally okay to buy a property where there's an HOA. Like I said, people either love it or they hate it. A lot of times, with land, there's recreation use only HOAs, so you never build on it, you just camp on it or you park an RV. They usually have boat access that's around water. I'm sure Stan from Minnesota, here, is asking because ... I'm not sure, but because there's so many lakes in that area, there's a good chance that it's a rec-only. I wouldn't be afraid of it at all. Jill DeWit:                            No, not at all. Doesn't make a difference. Just do your homework. That's it. Moving on, what's our ... Jack Butala:                   In the nature of complete and full disclosure, Jill and I are not feeling too well today. Jill DeWit:                            Oh, are you really sharing that? Jack Butala:                   Yesterday was, here in Scottsdale, Arizona, Parada del Sol. It's an annual event that celebrates the postal service, the old Pony Express postal service. It's a parade. We hit it a little hard, both of us. Jill DeWit:                            We were out...
