What We Spend Our Time On (LA 872) Transcript: 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 Dewitt broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Steven Butala:                   Today Jill and I talk about what we spend our time on. This topic and all topics are generally driven from the questions that we get. Jill DeWit:                            That's true. Steven Butala:                   This is a big topic in our live event, and it wasn't one that I anticipated at all because I kept saying, "Stay Organized, stay organized, stay organized." And so finally somebody said "what the heck does that actually mean to you?", because it's easy to say that, everybody says that, "the more organized you are the better you are, and the more money you're gonna make". Which is all true. So what does it really mean? This is where this topic came from. I'm gonna tell exactly what I spend my time on, and Jill probably just sit here and listen. Jill DeWit:                            Yeah I will. Cause it's something I don't usually spend time on is listening. Just kidding. Steven Butala:                   You know the truth is, Jill and I, how we approach what we spend our time on is totally different and we both get to the same finish line. Jill DeWit:                            That's true. Steven Butala:                   Rabbit and the hare kind of thing. Jill DeWit:                            That's true. Who's the rabbit and who's the hare? Steven Butala:                   I'm the rabbit. Jill DeWit:                            Okay. The turtle and the hare. The rabbit and the hare are the same thing. Steven Butala:                   Oh sorry, I'm sorry. You saved me from getting 4000 emails. Thank you Jill DeWit:                            "Who's the rabbit and who's the hare?" "Oh I'm the rabbit." Okay well then I'll be the hare. That's hilarious. Steven Butala:                   Let's make fun of Steve day too. Every day is make fun of dad day. 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:                            Michael asks, "Hello friends, I'm sure you've had many calls with RVers wanting to know if they can visit the land with and RV. If you own smaller parcels and subdivisions, more likely there are covenants that prohibit RVs and mobile homes at any time. Do you have experience with CCNR enforcement? Can Rvers get away with just visiting the land? I suspect living in an RV for a period of time, in a no RV subdivision would eventually trigger code enforcement. I can't in good faith advertise lots to RV campers without knowing what could happen. Please let me know if you sold anyone CCNRs to folks who have used the land for RV vacations without issue, even thought the covenants prohibit it. Thanks." Phew, that was a lot. Steven Butala:                   The truth of it is this, probably 99% of the time, no probably 99.8% of the time, after we sell that property, we don't know what happens. Jill DeWit:                            Yep, and ... I have something to say about it too before you're done. Steven Butala:                   Yeah, yeah. Jill DeWit:                            I usually put it on them, because usually in the beginning, or not the beginning, the beginning when I was doing land and I was handling these calls first hand, I would put it on them. I would say "you know what? I really don't know. I don't know how long you can keep it out there, I don't know what's allowed." So I would put that ... and I don't wanna know, that's the other thing too. I don't wanna spend that much time on it, getting to know all the things 'cause if I do,
