☕ Dunkin' Donuts: Handled Donuts, Munchkin Origins & Al Pacino's Dunkaccino ☕ Dunkin' may be a coffee giant now, but its journey started with donuts — one in particular with a literal handle. In this week's episode, I break down the entire rise of the chain formerly known as Dunkin' Donuts, from its humble beginnings in Quincy, Massachusetts, to becoming the fast-casual coffee behemoth we know today. Plus, I'm joined by writer and performer Amy Vorpahl to unravel some of the weirdest moments in Dunkin' history — including public domain mascots, airport nostalgia, and the most cursed commercial Al Pacino ever agreed to do. Is Dunkin' still the heart of New England? Or has it become just another burnt bean in the breakfast wars?

MERRY SHAQMAS EVERYONE! We kick off a pod tradition with the First Annual Shaqmas Celebration on ADHD-DVD as returning guest and FED Talks host E.J. Feddes brings an unseen film from his collection with our man Shaquille in the lead role. It's 1997's Steel, written and directed by Kenneth Johnson, and starring Shaquille O'Neal, Annabeth Gish, Judd Nelson, Richard Roundtree, Irma P. Hall, Ray J, Steve Matilla, Kevin Grevioux, and John Hawkes. Shaq has a Superman tattoo so why not cast him as a hero that is explicitly tied to Superman, a character who does not appear and is in fact never mentioned in this film even once. Join us this Christmas and every Christmas going forward for another dive into the acting ouevre of Shaq! Plus, Hayley and EJ both have theatrical field reports on The Boy and the Heron, and Hayley spreads Shaqmas cheer with a lovely gift-giving ceremony. Additional works discussed in this episode include Jack & Jill, Barbie, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Wonka, The Thing, The Rocketeer, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Spawn, Green Lantern, Baby Driver, Underworld, I, Frankenstein, Man of Steel, Spider-Man 3, The Outer Limits, The Flash, Shaq's appearance on Dr. Phil's podcast, Shaq's Big Challenge, and Shaq Vs. among others. If you'd like to watch the film before listening to the show, it is not currently available for streaming in Canada but can be rented for $5 on YouTube and Amazon. We'll be back next week to close out the year with the New Years Eve at the Alamo actioner Assault on Precinct 13 -- and we do stress that's the 2005 vintage with Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne, and not the 1976 John Carpenter original. Until then, merry Shaqmas everyone and we'll see you at the movies!

Who is the modern witch? What does she practice? What skills does she gather? Christian Victoria is here to inform us that the modern witch comes in many forms.

We explore: -What it REALLY means to be Jack/Jill of all trades! -How she went from growing up religious to becoming witchy -The relationship between inner/outer worlds and our lived reality -An experience on America's Top Model that opened her to her body sovereignty -The tools and practices she gathers and continue to gather to help free spirited women live fully in their IDGAF energy and embody the queen they are!

This week's movie is one that we have actively avoided since 2016. This week, we are tackling, with the help of Dustin and Nathan of The Silver Lining's Playlist Podcast, 2011's Jack & Jill. A movie so bad that it hurts our brains. Why does this movie suck so bad you might ask? Could it be the fact that Adam Sandler plays a female version of himself who's running gag is farting and pooping in every scene? Could it be the MASSIVE amounts of product placement that make this film feel like the bumper of a Nascar race car? Or could it be the sheer level of racist stereotypes and jokes that weren't ok in 2011 let alone in 2023? Well swig some Pepto Bismal folks, cause this one is gonna be a bumpy ride.

You can't make a film and not put any music in it. Jack&Jill Productions is a boutique company based in South Africa. Their latest film 'Table Manners' was an official selection at The Indie Film Fest (2019), Universal Film Fest (2019), Jelly Fest (2019), Durban International Film Festival (2018), and Silwerskerm Festival (2018). The film was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Director on its International Festival Run. The people behind Jack&Jill are Leli Maki Esq. (Director) and Nkuli Sibeko (Producer). The pair popped into studio for a little (and MORE THAN delightful) chat about what's involved in getting music into films. This interview pulls no punches. If you are a musician who'd like to see your song in a film or a tv show, you want to listen to this. It's full of gems like: "And sadly, I think one of the things that surprised me when we first started on this journey was discovering that it's never the artists that you're going to (for music rights), because they never own their own music." and "We're not looking for a hit song, but for how a heart breaks." and "If the words 'I don't like that song' are going to break you. Find a new career." and "Congratulating a musician on releasing a song is the same as congratulating a child for breathing." Outro music: 'So Lucky' by the Plastics Music used with permission from rights holder. Follow Jack&Jill Productions on Instagram · website · Facebook · Twitter · insta · Spotify Playlist
The Lesson: Numbers don't speak untruths, and for a female minority in a bro-business like Hollywood movie production, they're sexy that way. Saga Elmohtasen has produced hundred million dollar productions, but regardless of how successful she is, she doesn't let it go to her head, remembering that it's her roots and natural attitude that lead her to be successful. Notable Excerpt: "I don't take any of my work seriously, with all due repect, but I'm serious about my work. Do you see the dicotomy here? At the end of the day I'm a daughter, I'm a sister, I'm an auntie, I'm way more than a producer, and I don't take any of it seriously but I'm so dang serious about the job. Being able to sever those two has been a lifesaver." The Guest: Saga Elmohtaseb is a seasoned Hollywood producer, consultant and professor. With a passion for film, Saga has worked on box office hits such as The Devil Wears Prada, A Good Year,Eragon, Just Go With It, Jack & Jill, and Iron Man 2. Saga is the president of Hollywood-Consulting.com where she works closely with clients on productions from development to completion. She has been a professor at Chapman University's Dodge School of Film & TV for over 6 years now and teaches film & TV.

Expleo, a global technology, engineering and consulting service provider, today announces that it is pledging to donate €300,000 to charities on the island of Ireland over the next three years. Charities that benefit will include those working in the areas of homelessness, water safety, mental health, and children's health. This year marked the first year of the company's give-as-you-earn scheme, which saw Expleo's employees raise €62,000 for various charities. The scheme sees employees opt-in to donate a small proportion of their monthly salary, matched by Expleo, doubling the donation for the charity. The charities represent causes that Expleo employees identified as important to them. All funds and donations are managed by The Community Foundation for Ireland. In addition to the give-as-you-earn scheme, Expleo employees conducted fundraising activities throughout the year, including Focus Ireland's Shine A Light campaign, the Belfast marathon for Air Ambulance, abseiling for Air Ambulance, a walk for Jack & Jill, and volunteering for the Salvation Army. Phil Codd, Managing Director, Expleo said: “We are extremely proud to be raising vital funds to support the incredible work of charities across the island of Ireland. At a time of year when we all try to be more giving, our team in Expleo has shown tremendous dedication to championing charitable initiatives and supporting charities close to their hearts.The aim of the give-as-you-earn scheme is to make it easier for staff to donate. Our team really values the opportunity to give back to the community and feel privileged that they can do something to make a small difference.” Among the charities to benefit is Depaul, which operates 37 specialised accommodation and outreach services across the island of Ireland, supporting some of the most marginalised people who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness. The charity provides more than 550 bed spaces per night and least year supported more than 4,000 people through its accommodation and community-based services. David Carroll, CEO, Depaul said: “Thank you to everyone at Expleo who are supporting Depaul's service users through the generosity of your pro bono work and kind donations. Support has never been needed more and our services are vital to support everyone with the greatest difficulties at this time. We look forward to working with Expleo throughout 2023 to help achieve our vision of a future without homelessness. Depaul is committed to the prevention and eradication of homelessness and provides more than 600 bed spaces per night across 37 accommodation centres. Through our homeless services support and housing led approaches, we are ensuring people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness are not alone at a time when they need it most.” See more stories here.

There are two types of Adam Sandler fans: those who love raunchy, dumb, slapdash, quick-turnaround, cash-grab, overlit junk - like Hubie Halloween, Ridiculous 6, Jack & Jill,and Little Nicky, and those who enjoy brilliant acting, thoughtful screenplays, and artful direction - as seen in The Meyerowitz Stories, Hustle,and Punch Drunk Love. MG is in the latter camp, but even we were unprepared for the insane intensity, crazy filmmaking, and the tour-de-force central performance of the film we're taking on tonight: Uncut Gems!

Jack & Jill - Making Dating and Marriage Easy Genesis 2:20-23: Marriage was God's plan and it is a physical institution that mirrors the relationship between Christ and the church. Ephesians 5:25&28: The love a man should have for his wife should be the type that Jesus has for the church! A sacrificial love. The word love used in Ephesians 5:28 is Agape love. It's unconditional and sacrificial love. It is not transactional, Unconditional love is consciously learnt before marriage! Unconditional love is the love that keeps loving even when the person is not at their best. Condemnation doesn't build a relationship, it tears down. To measure how much a person loves you, examine the 'love' through the word of God John 13:34: The standard for love is how Christ has loved the church Red Flags to note(1Corinthians 5:9-11) 1. Sex Crazed: A lust for sexual activities. 2. Covetousness: Lust for money. 3. Idolatry: Elevating anything above God. 4. Railer: Physically or mentally abuse. 5. Drunkard: Given to wine Submission is not a weakness. It is power under control. Listen to the full sermon now and be greatly imparted. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oikia-christian-center/message

Does this Property Make me Look Fat? (LA 1064 - 681) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hi. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm jack Butala. Jill DeWit: I am Jill DeWit, broadcasting back now in sunny southern California. Jack Butala: Today Jill and I talk about, does this property make me look fat? Jill DeWit: This is going to be good. I have a lot to say about this. Jack Butala: It's so nice to be back from Arizona. Jill DeWit: Yeah, how many emails did you get? Jack Butala: Oh my goodness. We semi-intentionally missed recording a few shows last week. I wanted to see what happened. Jill DeWit: With intent. You know, that's one of the things we tell the kids when they're going to get in trouble or not. Did they screw up on accident, or was there intent there? Ours was kind of not really accidental. There was an intent. We were busy, man. Jack Butala: I'm happy to say, I guess we were missed. Jill DeWit: That was kind of cool. It was a good little test. Jack Butala: I got all kinds of emails like, "Are you guys going off the air? What the heck happened? What's wrong with your podcast?" Jill DeWit: That's not the way to do it too, but I'm sure people do that. You know it's funny, because I go look at new podcast shows or I think they're new podcast shows, and I find some, I go looking, I'm like, "Wow, look at this," and then I look at the dates and I realize, oh, they're last one was six months ago. Jack Butala: It's over. Jill DeWit: I'm like, "Well, that didn't work." Jack Butala: The truth is, Jill knows, we were in Scottsdale buying and selling houses for our new program called House Academy, and man, did it work. Jill DeWit: That was so fun, super fun. Jack Butala: It's really a topic for a whole episode, but can you give us the highlights here? Did you think we would buy and sell a house that fast? Jill DeWit: Yeah. Jack Butala: You did? Jill DeWit: Yeah. This is one of those things, Jack, you and I are so different, which is great, part of why we're so good together. When it comes to stuff like this, you're a little bit of a glass half empty and I'm a glass half full. I'm like, "Oh, no worries. I know we got this. I know it's priced right. I know who we are. I know how valuable the asset is. We got this." Jack Butala: I did a bunch of analysis on how three specific zip codes perform in a little section of central Scottsdale, Arizona, sent everybody who did not have a mortgage, their mortgage is paid off, a cash offer for a certain amount. I priced it and we ended up buying three houses. Jill DeWit: It's awesome. Jack Butala: The first one sold. The other two are not sold because we don't want to put them on the market. We've built the buyer list of flippers, renovators, and we're just working it through and it's working out great so far. I'm surprised. I mean, I really am. Maybe it's our experience level too, I don't know. Jill DeWit: Can I share a tip? I had no idea this was going to work. Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: You and I, I don't know whose idea it was, "Hey, let's have an open house," like right? Jack Butala: It was my idea. Jill DeWit: Okay.
Jack Jill Divide Conquer in Acquisitions Sales (JJ 693) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hi. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill Show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: I am Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about how we together divide and conquer in acquisitions and sales. The whole premise here, I think, is if you have the opportunity to partner up with somebody who is better at or more interested in doing one side or the other side of anything really, real estate investment wise, my opinion is you're going to do better. Jill DeWit: Well, what one person can ... I can't think of anybody that can ... You can't be perfect at it all. Jack Butala: Well, you're going to run out of a time at some point. Jill DeWit: Well, that too. Jack Butala: No matter what. Jill DeWit: Our energy and ... Yeah, I agree. Jack Butala: There's ups and downs in everything, so I just think ... I don't know. It seems to work for us. I've always had business partners in the past for things that I've done, for better or worse, but I'll tell you. It sure, I think, just from my personality, it works a lot better. Jill DeWit: Remember my dodge ball reference? Jack Butala: No, go ahead. Jill DeWit: This is how I see how we operate. It's like how you and I run our business and do things, it's like picking members of a dodge ball team. Jack Butala: How do I not remember this? Jill DeWit: Because its like ... Remember when you're in, I don't know, third grade playing dodge ball. Everybody lines up and you're one of the captains and there's the other captain and you're picking first the best players and then you got to divide up what's left over. So that's how we are. It's like if you line up everything about our business, Jack and I are pretty good. We sit there and go, "All right, you're good at that. Acquisitions go to Jack's team. I'm good at sales. Sales goes to my team." Then we get down to the crap that's left over, for lack of better words. It's like, "Well, all right. I'll handle the phones if you handle the tech piece," kind of thing. Jack Butala: Right. God, that's true. Jill DeWit: Isn't it funny? Jack Butala: Then there's that one kid at the end. Jill DeWit: Exactly, that nobody wants. Jack Butala: It'd be better if they weren't there at all. Jill DeWit: Exactly. We're like, "I'll take him today, you take him tomorrow." "Okay, fine." Jack Butala: Whats the equivalent of running a business from that? Jill DeWit: Personnel. Jack Butala: I was going to say something else. Jill DeWit: We've got a lot of people go. Jack Butala: Personnels. Jill DeWit: You know what I mean. Jack Butala: You didn't even hesitate. Jill DeWit: No, that's all I ... Jack Butala: You didn't hesitate on bit. Jill DeWit: No, stuff just happens. See? Nobody wants to do it. That's the sad thing too. I mean we got to include that kid. Come on, there's always one that can't throw a ball or can't run or something.
Jack Jill Divide Conquer in Acquisitions Sales (JJ 693) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hi. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill Show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: I am Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about how we together divide and conquer in acquisitions and sales. The whole premise here, I think, is if you have the opportunity to partner up with somebody who is better at or more interested in doing one side or the other side of anything really, real estate investment wise, my opinion is you're going to do better. Jill DeWit: Well, what one person can ... I can't think of anybody that can ... You can't be perfect at it all. Jack Butala: Well, you're going to run out of a time at some point. Jill DeWit: Well, that too. Jack Butala: No matter what. Jill DeWit: Our energy and ... Yeah, I agree. Jack Butala: There's ups and downs in everything, so I just think ... I don't know. It seems to work for us. I've always had business partners in the past for things that I've done, for better or worse, but I'll tell you. It sure, I think, just from my personality, it works a lot better. Jill DeWit: Remember my dodge ball reference? Jack Butala: No, go ahead. Jill DeWit: This is how I see how we operate. It's like how you and I run our business and do things, it's like picking members of a dodge ball team. Jack Butala: How do I not remember this? Jill DeWit: Because its like ... Remember when you're in, I don't know, third grade playing dodge ball. Everybody lines up and you're one of the captains and there's the other captain and you're picking first the best players and then you got to divide up what's left over. So that's how we are. It's like if you line up everything about our business, Jack and I are pretty good. We sit there and go, "All right, you're good at that. Acquisitions go to Jack's team. I'm good at sales. Sales goes to my team." Then we get down to the crap that's left over, for lack of better words. It's like, "Well, all right. I'll handle the phones if you handle the tech piece," kind of thing. Jack Butala: Right. God, that's true. Jill DeWit: Isn't it funny? Jack Butala: Then there's that one kid at the end. Jill DeWit: Exactly, that nobody wants. Jack Butala: It'd be better if they weren't there at all. Jill DeWit: Exactly. We're like, "I'll take him today, you take him tomorrow." "Okay, fine." Jack Butala: Whats the equivalent of running a business from that? Jill DeWit: Personnel. Jack Butala: I was going to say something else. Jill DeWit: We've got a lot of people go. Jack Butala: Personnels. Jill DeWit: You know what I mean. Jack Butala: You didn't even hesitate. Jill DeWit: No, that's all I ... Jack Butala: You didn't hesitate on bit. Jill DeWit: No, stuff just happens. See? Nobody wants to do it. That's the sad thing too. I mean we got to include that kid. Come on, there's always one that can't throw a ball or can't run or something.
Marketing Land 101 (JJ 691) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hi. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about marketing land 101, which seems really fitting, Jill, because I know you just got off the phone and sold a 40 acre property. Jill DeWit: Every time I do that, you know, I learn more about it. You know what I mean? Jack Butala: It's amazing how much you learn just from one phone call from a land buyer, even, we've been doing this since the '90s. Jill DeWit: Exactly. Jack Butala: Every single time I talk to, even a Land Academy member about their experiences. I mean, that's kind of the whole point of the show here, is to share our experiences so you can skip 20 years. Jill DeWit: Exactly, that's for sure. Jack Butala: Real quick, what happened with, I know this ... Jill DeWit: I'll tell you on the show. Jack Butala: Oh, all right. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the jackjill.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: Thank you. It's on landinvestors.com, by the way, that's where you go to find this. Okay, Neal asks, "This was my first country mailer, and I think it perfectly reflects why eventually it's better to target subdivisions separately with more specific pricing." "Ding ding," to quote you Jack, Steven. Jack Butala: Well, you know, go ahead, we'll finish the question. I have lots to say about pricing and targeting. Jill DeWit: Okay, "I'm getting a good response, but one signed and returned offer in the subdivision of my choice, New Mexico, makes me think that this offer was way too high, despite it being less than the 20% of the assessed value per the county and less than 25% of the going market value general to the county on Land Watch and Land Pin" Jack Butala: I'm going to stop you right there for one second. Jill DeWit: Okay. Jack Butala: We never advocate using the assessed value for pricing. Jill DeWit: It's true. Jack Butala: Never. Assessed value is very different county to county and extremely different state to state. If you've ever looked at your property taxes on your house, you know that. Jill DeWit: They're often behind. I think they're always behind. Jack Butala: Here's the good news, you know, you got the first one out of your way. Jill DeWit: The first mistake? Jack Butala: Yeah. [inaudible 00:02:16] more people. Go ahead. Jill DeWit: Yeah, yeah. All right, "My offer worked out to be $262 per acre for a five acre parcel," so it was $1,311. Jack Butala: Not bad. Jill DeWit: "I am now trying to do my due diligence in the area and work more specific to the subdivision, but I'm also not finding any sold comps. I'm looking in Zillow, Trulia, Redfin Realtor, so it's hard to feel good about my offer price for this particular parcel, especially when it's not exactly enriched with Jack's four As." He puts in here, here's the things. "It's barren, flat with not even a bush, it looks like the parcel's locked in there, no physical barriers to the road, I don't know,

How to Price Land Offers (JJ 690) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hi there. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And, I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny, southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about how to price your land offers. Yesterday, we talked about how to price house offers. Today, it's all about land. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the JackJill.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: Cool. I'm not sure who the member is. It just says, member asks. Mark. Mark asks, land contract or deed of trust in California. What do you prefer using in California and have you ever taken a property back after default? I would really appreciate some insider knowledge. Jack Butala: Good question. It's a question that we get quite often and Jill, I'll answer it, if it's alright. Jill DeWit: Please. Jack Butala: Yes, we have taken back property under a land contract and a trust deed, and both in California, I have. I'm not sure if Jill has or not. Jill DeWit: No, I prefer to just give it to them. I walk away. Jack Butala: Jill, do you want to hear ... Jill DeWit: It involves work. I'm out. Jack Butala: Before I answer this question, this is a story that Jill told us while we were still in our pajamas that we talked about. I said, "Jill, at times when we go to real estate events and things like that, you really, really, really ... I don't want to steal your thunder or anything, but there's just a lot of horsing around." She said, "Let me tell you a story." Go ahead and tell this story. Jill DeWit: He's like, "You've got to tone it down. You're just so social. There's a time ..." Jack Butala: This is, by the way, one of the things I love about Jill, I don't want to stifle any of this, but ... Jill DeWit: I got a speech. There's a time and a place for it. I said, "Listen, it is not in my nature. I've known that since sixth grade. Why do you think Mr. ... What was his name? Tinman, I think it was, put me in the back of the class and moved a bookcase in front of me, because I could not stop talking to everyone in his stupid sixth grade class." There's more to the story, but that was the result. So Jack, finally ... Finally, it's like, how long have we been together? Finally, goes ... You're asking me to do something that I'm really not sure I can do. Jack Butala: That's why I love you, for one of the many reasons. Jill DeWit: Thank you. Jack Butala: The basic difference between a land contract and a deed of trust is this. The land contract is an agreement between a buyer, and a seller on a piece of paper that says, "I agree to buy your property for X, and I'm going to pay over $200 a month or whatever it ends up being. At the end of the contract, I'm going to deed it right to you and you're going to own it." You own it the day you sign the contract and you use it like you own it, but it doesn't actually get recorded until the bitter end. That serves a lot of purposes. You keep everybody out of it. It's just an agreement between two people. If there's some trust, it works out great a lot of the time, most of the time. A deed of trust is where you bring in an unrelated third party l...

Price of Everything Goes Up While Wages Stagnant (JJ 687) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hello. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill Show. Entertaining real estate investment talk, we hope. I'm Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from so-so sunny, partly cloudy southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about the price of everything seems to go up. Well, it actually does go up, while wages and how much money we all make seem to stay stagnant, unless you're a real estate investor. Before we get into that, though, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the jackjill.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: Okay. Matt asks, "Hello, all. I'm conducting due diligence on a five-acre property I'm looking to purchase from a lady who has owned it since 1987." Jack Butala: I like where this is going, Matt. Jill DeWit: "Upon looking at the vesting deed, which is the last recorded deed, I noticed that at the bottom of the deed, before the signatures, that her purchase of the property was subject to a real estate contract the previous owner was paying on, and that the buyer, the lady who is currently selling it to me, would be assuming this contract. It appears that-" Jack Butala: Right on the deed, huh? Jill DeWit: Right above her signature. I haven't seen that. Jack Butala: You never see it on the deed. Jill DeWit: "It appears that she was purchasing the property from her parents and assuming the land contract." That makes sense. "The owner of the contract was a single guy. I searched the county records to see if there's anything recorded that shows this contract had been satisfied, and wasn't able to find anything." Boy, Matt, by the way, I want to say I appreciate you doing your homework on this so it doesn't come back to bite you. Jack Butala: Me too. What a bright approach to this. Jill DeWit: "I asked the seller about it. She told me that she was finished paying on the contract a long time ago- Jack Butala: I believe her. Jill DeWit: ... but because it was so long ago, she didn't have any documentation that could back it up. Does anyone have any idea ... " Oh God, I can't believe she didn't keep her receipt. "Does anyone have any ideas on how I could go about circumventing this issue? I don't believe that there's a big risk of the contract not being satisfied. However, I am not sure what is the best way to clear up title. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated." Jack Butala: What do you think, Jill? Jill DeWit: You know, my first thing would to do would be to really try to find the company. My first thought, and the easiest thing would be to find the company who had issued the land contract. Fingers crossed they're still in business, ask for a document from them. Just say "Hey, would you guys mind sending a one page thing? I will even draw it up for you. At this property that everything's been satisfied, she doesn't owe you anything. Have a nice day." And have them sign it. Then submit that. Jack Butala: I think, Matt, you found a little gem here. In this business all kinds of owners respond to the letters that we send out. Some of them have really easily solvable problems, so you can turn a huge profit. These little tiny problems that some other buyers may have seen as "I'm just going to move on. I'm not going to buy it. I only want a perfect deal." I think you found a situation here where, because of the age,
Everyone Needs a Place to Live (JJ 686) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack Jill here. Jill DeWitt: Hi. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill Show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Jack Butala. Jill DeWitt: And I am Jill DeWitt broadcasting from sunny, southern California. Normally sunny, not today. Jack Butala: It is stormy and yucky today. Jill DeWitt: It's like I love it. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about, everybody needs a place to live. And what does that mean to us real estate investors? I can't wait to talk about this because something that's so simple. You can really capitalize on it as a real estate investor. Especially in land because we don't go look at the property. We don't touch the asset. We don't care. Jill DeWitt: Does that mean we have a better perspective on it? Jack Butala: It means that we have a way larger area to choose from as real estate investors versus the house people and your apartment people and all of that. We can cover the whole country and Canada. Jill DeWitt: That's true. Jack Butala: With the data that we have. Jill DeWitt: True. So when you're talking everybody needs a place to live for this show, you're talking land still or are you going to spill into houses and cover it all? Jack Butala: I'm going to spill. Jill DeWitt: Okay. Jack Butala: We're going to spill. Jill DeWitt: You like my choice of words there? Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWitt: Okay, thank you. Jack Butala: Before we get into all of that, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the jackjill.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWitt: Okay. Joe asks, "Hey everyone. So it sounds like I have a buyer who wants to offer on 160 acres in Alpine County, California. I have optioned the current owner and I have listed it for sale." Awesome. Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWitt: "The buyer has a real estate agent which is fine since it's almost a $200,000 sale." Wow. "The agent says that she can't make an offer to anyone except the owner of record." Jack Butala: And your agent's correct. Jill DeWitt: "This being the gentleman who has signed the purchase option with me." Uh-huh. "So this is my question. Has anyone run into this in the past? Is there a way she needs to phrase the offer letter? Another thought was I never recorded the option with the county. Is this required? Any help from people who have successfully complete purchase option sales would be greatly appreciated." Jack Butala: Here's the real important thing here, Joe. You cannot represent an owner of a piece of real estate in the sale or purchase of it unless you have a license. And if you've listened to any other episode on this show, we're not big not fans of real estate agents in general. So, this is not something you want to test or get around or manipulate. You want to do the right thing. There's a system set up this way for a reason. And believe me, it's to our advantage. Our advantage as unlicensed real estate investors. So you have a couple options here. Number one, you can ante up, buy the property yourself for less than $200,000 bucks and then resale it to this person. It doesn't sound like that's an option to you, that's why you set up an option. However, if you have a contract in hand,

Jack Butala: Today Jill and I talk about why the same house costs way more in different markets. I just learned this myself, and that's why I decided to do a show about it- Jill DeWit: Thank you. Jack Butala: ... because I was floored. Jill DeWit: Thank you. Jack Butala: I was very, very, very shocked at the relationship between the balance sheet and then how much money people make and the real estate they live in. Jill DeWit: I thought there was something more to it, too. Jack Butala: It turns out it's really quite simple. Jill DeWit: Yup. Super interesting. Jack Butala: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the jackjill.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: You know what, Jack, that's a lot of life. We build up these things in our heads, that it's a big deal, and it's really not that big. Jack Butala: Right. Jill DeWit: It's like nah. No, that's the reason why, that's it. Jack Butala: Yup. Jill DeWit: Really, that's all. All this time =I thought I was missing something. Nope. Jack Butala: You know, I want to talk about this. Jill DeWit: Thank you, Jack Butala: I should do it right now. Jill DeWit: Okay. Jack Butala: What's the opposite? So, usually I go into things. What's the opposite of what you just said? Jill DeWit: You think it's too easy. Jack Butala: You get into something- Jill DeWit: You go, "Oh, I got this". That's the opposite. Jack Butala: If they get into something, and they're like, "That was worth it, that was fantastic, I'm so glad I did that. It wasn't hard, the outcome was great, it's exactly what I planned." Has it ever happened that way? Does anything every happen that way? Jill DeWit: Yeah. Jack Butala: What? Jill DeWit: Us. Jack Butala: Marriage? I don't think so. Kids? Jill DeWit: I don't know. Jack Butala: When you line buying and selling real estate up, successfully, against having kids- Jill DeWit: Mindset Jack Butala: ... and marriage and all of it, it's so much easier. Jill DeWit: Mindset. You know what, I swear it's mindset. We all have to do the same things. We all have to get up. Everyone who has children has to make sure that they're fed and their healthy and they make it to school and they have clothes and their shoes fit and whatever. We all had to do the same things. Be honest. But some people whine about it, and some people got it. It's a mindset. Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: You know, honestly this a little insight to me, when my kids were little, our kids were little and I was a mom, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed the walk to school with the kids.

Does this Property Make me Look Fat? (JJ 675) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hi. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm jack Butala. Jill DeWit: I am Jill DeWit, broadcasting back now in sunny southern California. Jack Butala: Today Jill and I talk about, does this property make me look fat? Jill DeWit: This is going to be good. I have a lot to say about this. Jack Butala: It's so nice to be back from Arizona. Jill DeWit: Yeah, how many emails did you get? Jack Butala: Oh my goodness. We semi-intentionally missed recording a few shows last week. I wanted to see what happened. Jill DeWit: With intent. You know, that's one of the things we tell the kids when they're going to get in trouble or not. Did they screw up on accident, or was there intent there? Ours was kind of not really accidental. There was an intent. We were busy, man. Jack Butala: I'm happy to say, I guess we were missed. Jill DeWit: That was kind of cool. It was a good little test. Jack Butala: I got all kinds of emails like, "Are you guys going off the air? What the heck happened? What's wrong with your podcast?" Jill DeWit: That's not the way to do it too, but I'm sure people do that. You know it's funny, because I go look at new podcast shows or I think they're new podcast shows, and I find some, I go looking, I'm like, "Wow, look at this," and then I look at the dates and I realize, oh, they're last one was six months ago. Jack Butala: It's over. Jill DeWit: I'm like, "Well, that didn't work." Jack Butala: The truth is, Jill knows, we were in Scottsdale buying and selling houses for our new program called House Academy, and man, did it work. Jill DeWit: That was so fun, super fun. Jack Butala: It's really a topic for a whole episode, but can you give us the highlights here? Did you think we would buy and sell a house that fast? Jill DeWit: Yeah. Jack Butala: You did? Jill DeWit: Yeah. This is one of those things, Jack, you and I are so different, which is great, part of why we're so good together. When it comes to stuff like this, you're a little bit of a glass half empty and I'm a glass half full. I'm like, "Oh, no worries. I know we got this. I know it's priced right. I know who we are. I know how valuable the asset is. We got this." Jack Butala: I did a bunch of analysis on how three specific zip codes perform in a little section of central Scottsdale, Arizona, sent everybody who did not have a mortgage, their mortgage is paid off, a cash offer for a certain amount. I priced it and we ended up buying three houses. Jill DeWit: It's awesome. Jack Butala: The first one sold. The other two are not sold because we don't want to put them on the market. We've built the buyer list of flippers, renovators, and we're just working it through and it's working out great so far. I'm surprised. I mean, I really am. Maybe it's our experience level too, I don't know. Jill DeWit: Can I share a tip? I had no idea this was going to work. Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: You and I, I don't know whose idea it was, "Hey, let's have an open house," like right? Jack Butala: It was my idea.
Jack's Agent Sister Ann Portner Interview (JJ 676) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack Butala here. Welcome to the Jack Jill show. Jill is on a short vacation, having fun with her family in Seattle, and I chose to take advantage of a special situation today and interview my little sister [Anne 00:00:16] Porter from northern Michigan, who we've talked about constantly on the show over the last couple years and touted her as a successful real estate agent. I'd like to find out if she really is. This is entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Jack Butala with my little sister Anne from sunny southern California, and today we're gonna be talking about being a successful real estate agent. What does it take, Anne, and welcome. Anne Porter: Hi. Thanks for having me. Jack Butala: What's it take to be a real estate agent, a good one? More importantly, why do so many suck? Anne Porter: Two big questions there. Jack Butala: You don't get to do this twice. I know I'm putting you on the spot. Anne Porter: Communication. That's the key to- Jack Butala: Communication? Anne Porter: Communication. Jack Butala: Give us an example. Anne Porter: Well, people like to hear what's going on. If you got their house listed, you want to know what's going on. Jack Butala: Communication. Answer your phone. That's what we've been saying for years, Jill and I. Anne Porter: That's a huge gig. Jack Butala: Why don't real estate agents answer their phones? Anne Porter: They're afraid. They're afraid of communication. Jack Butala: They're afraid of what. Anne Porter: Of the communication. I'm not doing enough- Jack Butala: So, they think they're not good at it? Anne Porter: Yeah. Maybe that's it. Maybe their confidence is not there. Maybe they're not doing enough. Jack Butala: All right. So, is the system broken? We talk about how the system's just broken all the time. Anne Porter: I think the people that are involved in the system are broken. That's what I think. I think if you're good at what you do, then the system's not broken. It can be used appropriately. Jack Butala: [crosstalk 00:01:51]. Just like anything, you gotta use the tools that you have. Anne Porter: That's right. You use them to the best advantage. We got a boatload of tools out there that can be used. Jack Butala: Like what? Anne Porter: But nobody takes advantage of them. Jack Butala: Oh, this is great stuff. So, like what? What kind of tools do you have that people are under utilizing, you know? Like a cell phone? Anne Porter: Like a cell phone. Used to communication. Texting, email, ways to communicate, ways to show that you're actually doing something, ways to enhance what your value is to a seller or a buyer. Jack Butala: So, what is the value that you bring? I know you're super successful. I think you said earlier in the vacation you're top 5%, right, in the country? Anne Porter: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Mm-hmm (affirmative). Jack Butala: So, what is it? That's [crosstalk 00:02:30]. Anne Porter: In Coldwell Banker. Jack Butala: Every listening wants to know, why? What is it about you?

Tell Stories in Land Postings (JJ 673) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here! Jill DeWit: Hi! Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill Dewit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about telling stories in your land posting. It's really actually how you sell real estate, put this subcategory or sub asset of real estate anyway. Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Jack Butala: Paint a beautiful picture. If you, as the story teller or as the lister or the seller of your own land, really question whether or not at the end of your posting, "Boy, this sounds so good. I really wonder if I should sell this thing." Then, you're doing your job. Jill DeWit: I think it starts even when you buy it. When you're looking at the asset and you're deciding whether or not to purchase it ... if you don't do this, you should be doing this. Jack Butala: Do you ever really ... decide you're gonna sell a car and you get it all cleaned up and and it's like, "Man, I should keep this." Jill DeWit: Right. Jack Butala: That's the feeling you're looking for. Jill DeWit: Right! So, you're already starting, when you're buying the property, you should already be thinking about what the end use is. Jack Butala: Right. Jill DeWit: And that's how you're gonna paint the picture of the story. Cause you're gonna know that ..."You know, wow, this is an interesting acquisition. This would be great for selling to people that I've talked to that love to hunt and find deer." You know that. You're already thinking about how you're going to tell that story and post the property for sale. Jack Butala: Right. Jill DeWit: And get other people excited. Jack Butala: Before we get into the details, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the jackjill.com online community; it's free. Jill DeWit: Cool! Matt asks, "I was recently scratching my head as to the low turnout of a recent mailer. I close on two properties out of 800 mailers." Jack Butala: Hold on a second. (laughs) Jill DeWit: I know. Jack Butala: How is this a low turnout? 800 mailers by my calculation costs about $300 to send out from start to finish, and you bought two properties? Let's read on. Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). "I offered $4000 in an area where market value is somewhere around $18,000, so I should have presumably been able to get .521% I would think, which is 4-8 properties. I'm selling one of the lots now, and the buyer actually owns another lot in the subdivision, and she mentioned, 'I've received two letters and a postcard in the last year or so.' Sure enough, one was mine hahaha", that's funny, "so, clearly, someone beat me to it, which is fine. I still will pick up a few lots and move on with my life. Now I'm curious if anyone has a trick to check the sold comps to see if one name or LLC has made multiple purchases in the past year or two. I presume that the lots won't still be in their name. If they are any good, they will have sold them by now, but picked off the motivated sellers in the process. Does anyone screen this kind of thing? Or just price your mailer and move to the next mailer?" Jack Butala: Would you like to answer this first? Jill DeWit: Okay.

Land Academy Described (JJ 671) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hi. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about Land Academy Described. Jill DeWit: Are you making fun of my enunciating? Jack Butala: No. Jill DeWit: Oh. I thought you were. I started to slow down and enunciate my name, and you're like, "Today we talk about" ... Jack Butala: This is show 670. I'm on autopilot. Are you? Jill DeWit: Oh, I guess you are. Isn't that funny? Jack Butala: Before we talk about deep thoughts- Jill DeWit: Oh no. Jack Butala: Let's take a question posted by one of our members- Jill DeWit: Oh no. Jack Butala: From the jackjill.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: Okay. Thank you Jack Handy. Jack Butala: It's not good when she says "oh no" this early. Jill DeWit: Oh, goodness. Okay. So, we have a question and we have one our people started to answer it. So, this is cool. Milan asks, "Is this a common practice? I'm buying 80 acres from a seller who bought the land on a tax sale. Title company doesn't want to issue title insurance because of that. Obviously the owner owns the land free and clear and bought it 20 years ago. Would you guys still buy this property if it's not insurable? That also makes you wonder if that issues goes away if I buy it from him, which means the last transaction is not a tax sale transaction. Thanks for your opinion, land rock stars." Jack Butala: So, we have another member who piped in and actually answered the question, but before Jill reads that, let me explain it in real simple terms. There's tax sales all over the country constantly, just like you see on late night TV. They're not as easy or simple or most of the time prosperous as you see on these infomercials in the middle of the night, but it's very possible to purchase 80 acres just like this person's saying on a tax sale, especially out west, for two or three or four or $5,000. People have been doing it for a really long time. So in this case, this guy is purchasing a property from somebody who bought it at a tax sale a lot of years ago. They issue was called a treasurer's deed, or depending on the municipality, it's usually a treasurer's deed or some version, or tax deed, let's just call it a tax deed. Title insurance companies do not want to insure against this. I'm not sure why. Jill DeWit: It's the funniest thing. Jack Butala: But it is what it is, so he's asking, what do I do? The plain and simple answer is you quiet title the property, or back east, it's called adverse possession of the property. You have to go through a bunch of legal proceedings, literally put it in the newspaper, put notice in, and at some point, they're gonna, somebody, which makes no sense, the taxing authority who issued the deed in the first place, which issue a "marketable title." That's the meat of this whole thing. So, he's asking, what do I do? How do I get title insurance? Jill DeWit: Okay. Jack Butala: Just took a little nap. Jill DeWit: No, it's all good. All right, you- Jack Butala: It's important to know all this stuff.

Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill Dewit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about new podcast ideas. There's no meat to this show. Jill DeWit: No, but it's good talking about the process and how we pick topics and how much that goes into them, because there's a lot. Jack Butala: Yeah, you're right. It's fun, mostly. Jill DeWit: It is, yup. Cool. Jack Butala: Before we get into that, though, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the jackjill.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: Okay. Jared asks, so this is awesome, he's leading into and getting a head start on House Academy is what this sounds like here. Jared says, "I have a buyer for some SFRs," so single-family residences, "but I'm not sure how to get the data that would let me know that the sellers don't have any mortgages. I looked in TitlePro247 and Real Quest Pro. In TitlePro, if I set the mortgage amount to zero, it returns zero results. The same is true for RealQuest Pro. Any advice on how to scrub out the houses with mortgages on them in the data pull? My assumption is that I would pull sale dates between 20 years ago and older, I assume, and assume if there hasn't been a sale in that amount of time, either the property's paid off or the mortgage is really low." I like where his workaround- Jack Butala: Well, and he's right. Jill DeWit: That's a good workaround. Okay, if they've done it, they've been paying for it for over 20 years, maybe it's almost done. So, that was awesome. Jack Butala: Jared's 100% correct in every statement that he made here. In Title Pro, zero sets it to zero, and on and on. RealQuest and TitlePro are overlays for datasets. DataTree, which is First American Title's data arm, pulls mortgage data, actual data on the [inaudible 00:01:57], from other sources, which is what we use. DataTree will be the dataset that's included with House Academy. Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Jack Butala: So, your workaround is exactly what he explained. We've used that in the past, where you just look at the age of the mortgage or the age of the house that's purchased and kind of assume that, well, there's a good chance that they didn't refi, or, what. You're still just kind of throwing a dart at the board. The absolute best way to do it is with DataTree, and again, it comes with the subscription when we release House Academy. It's a whole different world in there. It's 21st century. But until then, you've gotta do it this way, the way that he described. Jill DeWit: Yeah, stay at it. Jack Butala: And it works. Jill DeWit: We'll hook you up, Jared. When we have a House Academy. Jack Butala: Yeah. It works. It actually works. Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Jack Butala: But it's just not as accurate. Jill DeWit: Right. Jack Butala: Wouldn't you like to just throw at the board and hit the center every single time? Jill DeWit: Wouldn't that be nice? Jack Butala: That's DataTree.

Infill Lots or Large Acreage? (JJ 669) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill Here. Jill DeWit: Hello. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill show, entertaining, real estate, investment talk, I'm Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I am Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about info lots or large acreage, which one, which product type works better for you. Which one makes more money, which one's easier to deal with, what attracts more buyers. Jill DeWit: What are the differences .... Jack Butala: Yeah, I feel qualified, and I'm sure Jill does too, to answer .... to tell you what we think. It rarely translates .... Jill DeWit: You know, that's one thing that's so great about you Jack. You never, don't have an opinion, I just want to say that. That's double negative but, you're really good .... Good, bad or otherwise- Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: .... sharing your opinion. Jack Butala: Yup, yeah the good thing or good news is that, you know people can turn this show off. Jill DeWit: Well, that's true, well I was gonna give another positive, which is people .... you know where you stand, but you know- Jack Butala: That's true. Jill DeWit: There's no wishy washiness about you Jack. You know, there's no "Gee did he .... what did he mean, was he being sarcastic? Oh no, that was legitimate, if he looks pissed, he probably is". Jack Butala: There's a compliment in there somewhere. Jill DeWit: There is. Jack Butala: Or maybe not, I don't know we'll find out in a minute. Jill DeWit: Ha, okay. Jack Butala: Before we get into it, let's take a question, posted by one of our member's on the JackJill.com online community, it's free. Jill DeWit: Okay, Jordan asks "So I recently purchased a parcel of land that .... of Jack's four A's, which we'll cover in a second. Really only has one .... only has acreage, and could be sold for a relatively small amount of money. As I was able to purchase it for very little, but other than that, admittingly doesn't have much going for it". Jack Butala: So my four A's, before Jill continues her question are: Acreage, every time you look into a property, you check for the four A's. So does it have acreage? More is better, this is for land only. Does it have affordability? Cheaper's better. Jill DeWit: That's number two. Jack Butala: Does it have access? Jill DeWit: That's number three. Jack Butala: Can you get to it, and number four is, attributes. Is it close to the Grand Canyon? Is there a working ranch next to it? Is it there .... Is there mountain views?

Jack Butala: Mobile lot, all that stuff so, he checked for his four .... The four A's and only had one, acreage. Jill DeWit: He chose acreage, well, you know what, I'ma say it technically kinda has two. It's got acreage and affordability where we're going with this, so let me .... I'ma continue on.

Unlikely SFR Deal Killers Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hi. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill show. Entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about those unlikely SFR deal killers. Single family residential wholesaling deal killers that lurk in the background. And you may or may not be familiar with. Jill DeWit: I can't wait. I'm sure you have a long list. This is kind of one of yours. Jack Butala: I do. Jill DeWit: So I'm happy to ... Jack Butala: We're going to talk about land killers too, and deal killers. Before we get into though let's take a question posted by one of our members on the JackJill.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: Okay, Chris asks: Hi all, up to this point I have always used a cashier's check to purchase my properties with no problems at all. That was until this past week I had a seller back out of a deal after he agreed to sell and all the due diligence checked out. I sent the deed and cashiers check to the notary to close the deal. The notary then contacted the seller to find out that he was not going to sign it and backed out of the deal. There are other details that I should've listened to before sending the envelope, but when the seller agreed I was all too happy to run to the bank. Having the seller back out of the deal caused me to have the bank to put a stop payment on that cashier's check. Jack Butala: Okay hold on a second, Jill. I didn't know that was possible. Jill DeWit: I did neither. You know to be honest with you, I was going to finish the question and then cover this stuff. Jack Butala: Okay go, yeah. Jill DeWit: So yeah. Jack Butala: Yeah, go ahead. Jill DeWit: Researching, after the fact. I didn't think the bank should have granted this because now they are in a double jeopardy situation that should that check be presented they have to honor it. Well that's kind of their problem. None the less, I was wondering if cashier's checks are the best option or would a business check serve me better in terms of having more control should a seller back out again? Had the bank not place a stop payment on that cashier's check, those funds can be locked up depending on the bank indefinitely. Obviously the sellers, having that bank guarantee, can offer them a sense of confidence that their not going to be taken advantage of. I'm sure there will be various views and I look forward to everyone's ideas on this. Thanks, Chris. So my first thing was, I personally, do not worry about these situations because the seller never got the money. And this is why we have the unrelated third party, AKA the notary that you hired in their city who's handling the transaction. They have the money, they have the deed, they have everything. And they don't hand them that envelope with the cashier's check until they sign. So I wouldn't have even done any of this work. This for me was kind of a couple of extra steps.I kind of understand where you're coming from. But for me the fastest thing is well hey notary it's obviously not going to happen. So in that package, remember you already have a prepaid return envelope that you were going to send the deed back in. So put everything back in that envelope and overnight it to me. Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: So now, say this was Monday, this all happened on Tuesday,

Lenders Kill Closing Time Frames Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hi. Jack Butala: Welcome to the Jack Jill show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about how lenders can kill closing time frames. Now, and you're "I want to buy a quick SFR deal." Jill DeWit: Oh, hey. Jack Butala: Not all lenders are evil. We're not here to bash lenders. We bashed real estate agents a couple of shows ago. Jill DeWit: Could you imagine? Wonder what the fast is? I'm really curious. I'd love to take a poll. Like, I should do this on Facebook. I'm gonna make a little, do a little Facebook poll and just see what's the fastest closing that people have done with a lender, and I bet it's like shocking. Shockingly slow. Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: You know? Jack Butala: Like an old school lender, like a big bank. Jill DeWit: Yeah, let's, well you- Jack Butala: I bet it's 30 days. Jill DeWit: I like, yeah, and they probably feel good about it. Yeah. Jack Butala: And I bet that with the private lenders it's still 10 days. You still have to look at some stuff. Jill DeWit: Yeah. Jack Butala: But that's what we're here to talk about. Jill DeWit: Totally. Love it. Jack Butala: It's gotten a lot better. Man, it used to take six months to buy a house. Jill DeWit: Oh my god. Really? Jack Butala: I'm not that old, you know, I'm old enough to remember. Yeah. Jill DeWit: Yeah, you know what? Oh, yeah, remember the whole short sale thing, back when that was, I mean ... Jack Butala: I mean, I mean in the '90s. Jill DeWit: ... a big deal. Jack Butala: In the '80s and '90s it took ... Jill DeWit: Well you know, I do remember my parents bought a house in Laguna Hills in the '80s, late '80s, and that took forever, you know. I know what you're ... I remember, and it was buying it from a bank, and it was a whole [inaudible 00:01:30] thing, and ... Jack Butala: Bank's gotta send a person out there. Jill DeWit: Man, it was just ridiculous. Exactly. Good stuff. Jack Butala: But that's past now. Thank you. Jill DeWit: That's behind us. Jack Butala: This is a great time in history to be a real estate investor. Jill DeWit: Exactly. Jack Butala: We have so much data that's available, most of it's free, and we just have to realize how to use it. Yet I see many, many, many people just kicking it old school. Jill DeWit: Could I ask you a political question? And if you think this is a bad one, you want to just skip it we can. But, because our current President has a real estate background, are we in for some good changes? Jack Butala: No. Jill DeWit: Oh. Well, never mind. Jack Butala: I mean with all ... I do not care one way about, you know, left to right or any of that, but the person that we have in office is ... Jill DeWit: I'd like to see some easier...

It's here that we provide entertaining real estate investment advice. I'm Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting this week from sunny Southern California. Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about Jill's compelling personality. It's what everybody needs. Everybody really needs a Jill on their team, I guess. Jill DeWit: Are you sure about this, Jack? I have to say, when I read this title, I went, "Uh-oh, this can go a couple different ways." Some days you think it's good, and sometimes I'm sure you want to throttle me. Jack Butala: Oh my gosh. Jill DeWit: Come on. Jack Butala: Tell me one time, one day where I said, "You know what? We just need a little bit less of Jill." Jill DeWit: Well, there are days that you think that I should be a little more serious. Don't you think? Jack Butala: That's only when we work together. Jill DeWit: Oh, thank you. So, that's it. There is no gray area. Okay. Jack Butala: Let's take a question posted by one of our members on the JackJill.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: Okay. Jeff U. shares ... not Jeff you, like something else. U is the first letter of his last name. Not like, "Hey, Jeff you." Jack Butala: "Jeff you." Jill DeWit: Wouldn't that be hilarious? Jack Butala: I bet if he's got a wife, I'd bet she's used to saying that. Jill DeWit: That a whole new saying. I'm going to start that. "Oh yeah? Well, Jeff you back." That's good. I should use it on my brother, "Yeah, Jeff you." Jack Butala: The sound of radios clicking off all over the world. Jill DeWit: That's awesome. "Jack you, and Mabel you." Jack Butala: Mabel. Jill DeWit: I don't know. Jack Butala: You know, it works with Jill you too? Jill DeWit: Yeah, it does. All right, it says, "Hello. My name is Jeff, and I am from the metro Detroit, Michigan area. Jack Butala: I'm so sorry. I can say that because I'm from Detroit. Jill DeWit: I'm just starting to learn about raw land investing," yes you can," I'm not even wet under the ears, but I am reading, watching videos, listening to podcasts, et cetera. My wife- Jack Butala: There is a wife. Jill DeWit: ... is not 99.9% bought on to this idea." So, does that mean she's all but one little piece? Jack Butala: No, she's not into it yet. Jill DeWit: Oh, okay. "Right now, I told her I'm just learning. What to do about a non-compliant spouse?" Well, that's two different questions, isn't it? First of all, one is, "What do I do?" Two is, "How do I handle a non-compliant spouse?." Like, in life? Jack Butala: One is, "My wife's not on board with this land investing thing." Jill DeWit: Right. Jack Butala: Number two is, "What do I about- Jill DeWit: "She's non-compliant." Jack Butala: ... my non-compliant spouse?" Jill DeWit: I'd like to tackle them as separate questions. Jack Butala: I had our producers put this in here, Jill, for you.
