Hey, it's Mark Podolski, the Land Geek from your favorite, favorite Nichy niche real estate website, the landgeek.com. all right, I hope you're sitting down because this is going to be so exciting. Today. I've pulled them out away from the surf. Your favorite podcast guest, my least favorite podcast guest. I'm just kidding. You guys all know I love them. It's love. Duran Frazier, Carlsbad, California. Duran.

I don't know if that was a crowd, I don't know, a clap, or if that was a surf in the background.

Duran. Frazierlandhub.com how are you, my friend?

I am doing excellent, Mark. How about you?

Good, good. You know what? I feel badly. I said you're my least favorite guest.

That's okay.

You know what? I kid because I love.

I've been hated on before. You're not the first person.

No, it's not hate.

It's just jealousy.

Yeah. You know, it's hard to do this stuff unscripted. It just came into my head.

That's okay. That's okay. I totally understand. Mark. Yeah. You look a little tan, Mark. Have you been sunbathing outside there in Scottsdale?

Yeah, it's 90 here now, probably. I'm getting my vitamin D. It's good. It's all good. So you know what? Before we got on the podcast, you're drinking a Green sludge.

Yeah.

Can you tell everybody what the heck you're drinking?

You know what, We've talked about it before in the past. I mean, it may have been a year or two ago, but I drink this special drink called Green. It's actually not a drink, it's a powder. It's called Green Vibrance.

Green Vibrance?

Yes, Green Vibrance. It's not cheap, but it's a lot. It's about. I think it's 2 billion probiotics in every dose. So basically, it's a very healthy drink. It's like eating lots and lots and lots of yogurt without the fat. And it's got all sorts of good stuff in it. But Green Vibrance is what it's called. You can pick it up at your local Trader Joe's or Whole Foods or anywhere that's super overpriced.

Is it a meal replacement or is it just a meal enhancement?

I think it's a meal enhancement.

Okay.

I drink it with. So I drink it with a little bit of acai berry juice. There's actually, I don't know, I don't think they're anywhere else. But there's this. Or it's called Acai. Yeah, it's called Sambazon or I think it's called Sambazon.

Oh, I've heard of it, sure.

So they have a store, they actually have a shop here by the beach in Cardiff, little town called Cardiff by the Sea in North County, San Diego. And it's just a smoothie shop. And it's the guys, the owners of Sambazon, that's their flagship store. And there's a bowl, it's actually a bowl. It's called the Rob Machado bowl. And Rob Machado's a very well known surfer. And this bowl's got peanut butter in it. It is just. It's an unbelievable acai bowl. But anyway, so I have some acai, some acai. They actually sell it at Costco now, I think. So I get some acai juice and some peanut butter and some green vibrance and some ice and. Did I say peanut butter? Yes.

Why are you doing all this?

Because I like to be healthy and because this morning. Well, not because this morning my son woke up with 145 fever, 4.5 fever. I always remind myself that I need to stay healthy. A healthy body means a healthy brain. And a healthy brain means you work more efficiently, you get more done.

Let's segue into your financial health.

Yes.

Because everybody wants to be financially healthy.

Yes.

So what are you doing right now to make yourself more financially fit? I know you're eating well. I know you're exercising.

Yep.

You're living the dream.

Yes.

So what are you doing to be more financially fit? I know you got a lot of projects going on.

Yeah, I think, I think my, you know, obviously I've talked about the mining project. I'm thinking more long term or bigger projects.

Right.

For me, the small one off projects have been a little bit more difficult to work on because I like to think bigger. So I've been doing that and then I've worked on obviously land Hub. The mining project are two of my focuses at the moment.

Okay. What about buying and selling land right now? Not a focus.

No, it's definitely a focus, but it's not a, I guess I would say a priority when I say that I'm still doing it and I'm obviously, every week I'm closing deals, but my primary focus is obviously on the big picture. And to be honest with you, as I talk about it, I wish that I could get in the software realm. I wish I could get things done faster. And as we start scaling this business model with Land Hub, it'll solve a lot of your problems, a lot of our clients problems and a lot of my problems. And that's really, at the end of the day, I think it's going to change the way you and I do business. And Land may end up. Once Land Hub is done, land may become a number one priority because it'll be a lot easier for me to sell and market land.

Right, right. No, I love the synergy between Reserve Land and Land Hub.

Yeah.

Because it just feeds into each other so well.

Yeah.

But, you know, software is tough. It's a tough game, but it's capital intensive.

It is capital intensive. And you know, at the moment, I'm still waiting for all your customers to give me a phone call to crowdfund my project. So feel free.

We're looking to raise 300k.

Yep, 300.300k in a small seed round, which, to be honest with you, we were talking, I was thinking about raising some more capital, but I don't think we need much more than that to get this thing totally complete. We've got a couple full time guys working on the project now, some really talented, in fact, I would say probably some of the best guys that I've ever seen working on this thing from a development standpoint. And so I'm excited about that. And from a visionary standpoint of where I want this to be, it's all coming together. I just need to hire a couple of guys and put them in place in terms of the front end design, which is not terrible now, but I really want to go the more 3.0 web 3.0. Like the Trulias, the Redfins, the Zillow dot com. If you look at them, it's funny, they're all the same. You've got one bar across the screen, the Airbnb, one bar across the screen. You tell it what you want and everything populates and that's where things are going and have gone. And so as I sort of trend in that direction, I still need to get. You got to work on. When you're building a software that's kind of within a site, you got to work on both the front end and the back end. So it's kind of like two separate businesses.

Sure, sure.

And in my case, it's a search platform for buyers and a sell platform for sellers. So I've got a platform, a software that sellers are going to utilize, and then of course, a front end that buyers will utilize.

Right, right. All right, so if you're an accredited investor, email us.

Yes.

After the podcast. Let us know if you want a piece of land. Hub.

Correct.

You want to invest. That'll be, that's, that's exciting stuff.

Yeah, it must be. It must be accredited. But we think, we think will be an acquisition target for a number of different companies in the real estate space. So that's exciting.

Yeah. Okay, so I want to talk about list building via social media, because I'm working on that right now.

Okay.

But you, you know, before the podcast, you'd mentioned a really, really interesting topic which we've never talked about, and I don't know how I feel about it. So tell me what's going on with why you like these tiny houses as a development play for our raw land.

Okay, so as most people know, the dilemma with buying a property, developing it is generally you have zoning issues. So you'll have an R1 or residential, I mean, it's termed differently in all states. But you'll have a residential, a commercial property, and within those zonings are stipulations or guidelines of what you can and can't do. But generally speaking, a lot of those guidelines will have a square footage or under a certain amount of square feet that will allow you to do something and not have to get a permit. And a lot of these properties, you'll find that you can build something under 200 square feet without having to permit it. Well, that's where these tiny houses come in. And if you guys haven't followed or watched it, I'm sure you've all seen it on the Internet or read about in the newspaper. A lot of these guys, a lot of these companies have come out and they've built these. I think it's like fully contained houses that you literally just can. Either you can build yourself so they'll drop off the materials or they'll build it for you and just drop off, you know, drop off a tiny house so they'll put it on a trailer and they drop it off to your property and off you go. And they are fully contained. They can run off solar. It's really interesting what they're doing, but you don't deal with any permitting issues. So it's kind of one of Those things where 1. As a guy who kind of sometimes likes to get off the beaten path myself, I'm totally interested in putting one of these together. And I obviously, I still have quite a few thousand acres I want to, I want to buy. And by the way, Mark, I'm looking at another large acquisition, but you and I can talk about that. Another podcast.

Sure.

But anyway, so you know, the idea is to take these pieces of land and again, I'm always in my mind evolving or trying to think of a way to create more value. And this is another way, right? You could, you could almost pre sell a property with this in place at a, let's say, you know, five grand down, you know, 200, 300, 500 bucks a month, whatever it is.

Well, how much is it going to cost to make a tiny house?

I think you're looking like, I want to say like 50 bucks or 60 bucks a square foot, but I want you to internalize this for a moment. That's 12 grand, right?

That's 12 grand for a house.

That's insane right now. I don't know about you, but if I'm me, if it was me, my wife with no kids, I 100% could live in a 1200 square foot house.

Wait a second, 200 square feet?

That's what I mean. Sorry. 200 square foot house train.

You cannot live in a 200 square foot. Your car is bigger than 200ft.

Heart. I have, I have a motorhome. With, with what? 120 square feet?

No, it's bigger than that, isn't it?

No, it's. No, no, no way.

A big motorhome.

Yeah, it's not, it's not that big. You think it is, but there's not that much space in a motorhome. So maybe I have, maybe I have. Maybe I have 180 square. I can live with my two kids in 100. 120 square feet. So.

And that includes like a bathroom.

Correct.

Bedrooms.

Correct.

Kitchen.

Correct.

Storage?

No.

Cupboards?

No. Ah, yes, yes. Couple cupboards. Correct.

So where do you put your stuff in 200 square feet?

On the, on the, on the wall. So you still like, don't forget like ground space. You still have some wall space and you can utilize that. These guys build it open so you can actually build. They build these things two stories, Mark. Really interesting. Really interesting. I mean they're, they're everywhere. If you look up. I think it's Tiny houses dot com. You know, a really cool place to look actually is on Pinterest.

Okay. Okay. All Right. I'm sold then. Okay. I'm the kind of person that could live in a tiny house. Then what? I mean, why am I buying this from you?

Why are you buying a tiny land.

Home package from you?

Correct.

Okay. And I'm. And you'll finance me?

Correct.

Okay. So. But now we're kind of getting outside that scope. Now I've got Dodd Frank, I've got RESPA issues. Right. Because I.

But I.

Now we have a tenant. Right.

Before I sold you that house, I moved to the Cayman Islands.

Okay, let me ask you, would you rent the house or would you just sell it?

No, Maybe you'd rent it. Whatever. The, whatever. The financial structure made more sense. I'm just, I'm. Okay, forget that. Forget the, the, the direction of, of, of what I, what I would say is the exact way to go once you kind of come up with the idea of how to sell the house.

Right.

I think whatever, Whatever financial strategy makes more sense. I'm not saying you're right. The lending, Lending side is a nightmare. I mean, the government doesn't want you or me or anybody else to bank money. They want Chase to bank the money they want. You know, they want the Wells Fargo's to deal with, with lending. They don't want you and I to lend money. That's just, that's just the way they are. So I get it, it there and I. And in fact, one of you and I actually do a podcast where we actually reach. Do a lot of research on the Dodd Frank and see what, what are the rules? What are the stipulations?

I've done the research. Land is exempt because there's no tenant.

Okay.

So land is exempt to Dodd Frank and Respa.

Okay.

So that's what makes, you know, we shouldn't talk about it. It's. It makes land that much more appealing.

Yeah.

Because you don't have to worry about it. And yet you're still getting that same cash flow. Okay, but I have researched it and it's exempt vacant land.

Okay. So why don't you sell the land and they can buy the home from the dealer.

Right. So you partner with a dealer.

Correct.

Tiny homes let them worry about the financing aspect. Correct. And then you take your cut.

Correct.

For this. For making the sale. Correct. I don't know. It'd be interesting. It'd be interesting to see how that plays out. But I definitely, I love the value add of it though.

Yeah.

I'd love to pre sell a piece of property with a tiny home and have some different. You Know, floor plans made up.

Yeah. Pre.

Sell that and then build it for somebody and look. What. There's not much risk at that point.

Totally.

And do it. I think we should try it. You know, I've got all those lots in Texas.

I've got all those lots in. In northern Nevada.

Yeah, but northern Nevada doesn't have power. I've got power.

Yes, they have power, Mark.

No.

Humboldt River Ranches, baby.

Oh, nice. So the two and a half acre piece, I've got.

I've got several. I've got acre and a half, two and a half acres, five acres, 10 acres. I got it all.

You want to do it? I'll do it with you.

Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's make. That's. We should, you know, we should do. We should do it and we should video the whole thing.

We should. You know what? That would be kind of cool. So we'll call it Frontier Reserve JV Little Little Home llc.

How about. How about Reserve Frontier?

Yeah. By the way. Yeah, exactly. Reserve Frontier. Right. So, okay, so LLCs. I got a question from a coaching student.

Yep.

And did we talk about this before? Do you feel like you have to have an LLC to do this business before you even make your offers, before you even buy a piece of property?

No. No.

Yeah, I don't think so either. No.

You know, every, you know, but here's the thing. Everybody's threshold for liability is different. Right. You and I. You and I are we. It kind of comes to like, you know, what, how, how, how do you react toward risk? Yeah. Yeah.

But we know a seller. He's making half million dollars a year doing what we do full time.

Yeah.

Flipping land. It's all done in his name, personal name. He's been doing it for 15 years.

You're right. But there's a lot of liability involved in doing that.

He's never been sued.

You. But dude takes one lawsuit and he's done?

I don't think so. He's not going to protect him.

100 it's not. It gives him a lot more protection.

Oh, okay, fine. You can set up an LLC for every piece of property you buy. Ohhh. LLCs.

Why not have.

Makes no sense.

Why every. Why every. Why every property. Why not have all the properties in one llc?

Because then you're really. Then you're really liable.

Okay.

Yeah. You know, now you get the domino. One property takes the whole thing down.

I. I don't know, dude. I don't know.

Anyway, that's a big attorney. Would Tell you have a separate LLC for each deal. Yeah, but that's for like housing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's more liability. And for what we do in the volume that we do it in, it makes absolutely no sense.

Yeah.

To set up a different LLC for each deal or even for every 10 deals. Yeah, just, I mean, look, we've been doing this a long time. I've never had an issue. You get a customer complaint, you deal with it. You don't go to court.

Yeah, I'll be, I'll be honest. I had one customer come back to me, just one. And what happened was the husband and wife got divorced. That's all she had was that piece of land she wanted. She bought it at the top of the market, 2005 for me. And I, and I think this is 09 or 2010. She came back to me, please buy back. Buy back. And offered her market value.

Right.

And it wasn't what she paid for it, but she wasn't happy about. And she started stalking me. And I said, God, I mean, that was. I mean, she started like. It was just interesting stuff. It. That stuff happens. You find one crazy one. That's just the way. It's just the way it is. So anyway, you know, and I court. You know, I have a lot of women stalking me too. But this is. Just kidding. That's a joke. I'll laugh. Anyway, so I have. So, so it was just, it was one of those weird little bit sketchy situations for me. But that stuff happens and. But that's the only thing that ever happened to me. I've never. So you, you know, if you looked at it from, it from a risk averse standpoint, if you're talking to two or three or four people that have had done a bunch of deals and never been sued, then it. Then. Now if you're a sketchy person, if you, if you're trying to slide by the rules and do sketchy things, then maybe I'd do an llc because you know what?

Yeah, just, just do.

If you. Within the rules and you're willing to be an ethical businessman and give the money back to. Or businesswoman and give the money back to somebody, you should be fine now.

Yeah, but you know, even an attorney will tell you an LLC is not, is not foolproof. If you really want better corporate protection, you should be an S Corp or C Corp, not an llc.

Correct? Correct. Correct. So. And again, just so, just so we can. So let's reiterate the fact that Mark and I are not attorneys.

Right.

We have Zero background in that world.

I was going to go to law school so I have more background than Durant. I was, I wasat.

I was gonna go to law school too until I dropped out of school my sophomore year of college so to start my land business. So yeah, I think that, you know, again, every single person, there's a couple different websites we've talked about in our tips of the week, which, gosh, don't even put me on the spot yet because I have no clue what mine is. But there's Rocket Lawyer, there's Legal Zoom, there's lawyers that will answer your questions for 39 bucks a month. In fact, Mark and I are probably going to go in and make negotiate with Legal Zoom or rocketlore to get those cheaper.

So that ran. By the way, I found a guy on fiverr.com yeah. Answer one legal question for $5.

Wow, he must be cranking. He must be doing a lot of good work.

You know what? He's cranking it. It's a nine day turnaround. Wow. If you need it right away, this isn't the guy to go to. But if you're, you know, if you got nine days, yeah, that's huge savings. That's hundreds of dollars of savings.

That is pretty crazy. That is pretty crazy. That, that is a very special way to go. I mean if you're cheap, that's a great way to go. Fiverr.com Fiverr.com I mean again, there's, and, and there's also, you know, what's, what's that other website we've talked about? Elance.

Elance. Odesk.

Odesk.

Have you tried, have you tried peopleperhour.com I have not. I've had okay, success. It's more, it's more, it's more Great Britain based.

Yeah.

But I tried some stuff there.

Eland's bought Odesk. You know that, right?

I did not know that when they did that.

About six months ago, Elance acquired Odesk. But what's interesting about Odesk is I've never to this day had success odesk. I've hired 40 people on there.

I've only had success at Odesk. I've never had success on Elance.

That's so funny.

That's really funny. How many people did you hire?

I've hired so many people on Odesk.

For what?

All sorts of admin stuff, virtual assistants, everything really. And it could be that you're, you.

Know what it is? I know what the problem is. You're not paying them. You, you're looking look, in any project, you get to pick three. You can pick two of the three, right?

Yeah.

You get to pick price, quality, or speed. Yep. If you want. If you don't want to pay much and you want them to do it right away, which I know you like things done right away.

Yeah.

You're not going to get quality.

Yeah, you're right.

If you want quality and you want them to do it right away, you got to pay. Then you don't get to pick the price.

Yeah.

So I typically live with the compromise. I'll pick price and I'll pick quality, but it'll take forever and I'll live with that compromise. You think I'm wrong?

A little bit. That's okay.

What would you pick? Quality and speed. And pay.

Yeah. And I actually, funny enough, I will look for three middle of the road people. Meaning pay. I look at their hours on Odess, their feedback on Odesk.

Dude, I don't want middle of the road. I want a players.

No, no, no. When I say that middle of the road, I'm talking about the price wise. But I find that the A players that I have the best feedback.

Oh, okay.

Does that make sense?

That does make sense. Okay, then why. Why are you going through so many people?

I don't. I don't know. That's what tri. Again, it could just be luck of the draw. So.

Yeah, it could be. Anyway, all right, so let's talk about building your list.

Yeah.

Right. So in the investors toolkit, more buyers than you can handle. I talk about extensively why I'm such a big proponent now of not necessarily having a website and more importantly, having a landing page. Right. And start having relationships with prospects. Yeah. So I've been going through some training on social media and it's really interesting. So what I found is that I've been doing social media all wrong. And the best way to build your list with social media is to do promotions. So that's what I started doing. What do you think? You're giving me a weird look.

No, I like it. I like it. I just want you to keep going. I'm getting, you know, I learned a lot from you on these, on these podcasts. So I just keep.

Don't stop, don't stop. Okay.

Don't stop.

So this. So, okay, so this is what's happening on say, let's face, say, Facebook, right? Yeah. I'm competing with your sister's kids, with your mom's cat, with your friends, funny videos. Right. So the only way to compete with that, to get your Attention in your newsfeed is to have something that's more interesting than those things, right? So what I've been doing this whole time is making those Coffee Talk videos and putting it up on my Land Geek page. Well, you got to be really super interested in learning about this business to click on my face to listen to my two minute video.

You are a. You are a geek.

I am a geek, but I'm not that interesting. I'm not that engaging. You could argue informative. Yeah, but to compete with your sister's pictures of her kids, I've got to be more than informative, right? Yeah, I've got to be. I've got.

I've got to.

I've got to do it. Some kind of fun contest. So what people typically do and companies will do is they'll do okay, you know, do ethical bribes. So in exchange for your name and email address so that we can give you this valuable information, we're going to give you an iPad, right? And run those types of promotions, and people get tons of it. So a great example of this was for March Madness was Quicken Loans, the billion dollar contest. It was the ultimate PR home run of home runs for this year. So I think they had a million people sign up for those that March Madness bracket to win a billion dollars. And you know, Warren Buffett's sponsoring it. And within like the first week, everyone was out. But you know why million people sign up?

You know why? Because Warren Buffett paid the team 100, 150,000 each player for the team for that number one seed to lose. So that. Oh, I already guarantee it, dude. I guarantee.

Oh, my God, the conspiracy theory. You know, actually, I'm glad the podcast is so small. That's that, you know, Warren Buffett's attorneys could easily bury us tomorrow.

I'm kidding.

Oh, man, we're gonna have to have a disclaimer.

Exactly. Right? Everything I say is mostly a joke, so please don't. But no, that's. No, I mean, that's. That is true. It's all marketing. I mean, look, it was brilliant. Oh, amazing. Amazing. And now I don't know how much Warren Buffett probably got a lot more attention than Quicken Loans, but.

I don't know. I think they did really well with it.

I'm sure they did. I'm sure they did. So you're right. It's all about marketing. Funny enough, Mark and I, we learned our marketing class was doing our business right, was like learning how to sell land on the Internet. That was the way we Learned how to market. We didn't take it from a marketing class. You can't teach what we learned because we were doing it. We were making it happen. We were the ones evolving the business of buying and selling land on the Internet. So, so it's looking back, you know, it's now. And now it's evolved to a point where, like you said, you're, you're not competing for web space or for. Or for traffic on page one of Google, which you are. You're. We're more competing for visual space. We're looking, looking at us. Is the, is the way you're going to click to us and learn more about us or what we're doing. And to do that is such a challenge.

Like, your attention is the most valuable commodity now.

Yeah, yeah.

There's so many things competing for it.

Correct.

So in order to capture that attention, you've got, you've got to be outstanding now.

Yeah.

And it's got to be something pretty creative, pretty engaging, very informative, very valuable for somebody then to give up those credentials.

Yep. And I don't know if you, I don't know if all, all the listeners here. I want you guys to go do something. I want you to go to like a Yahoo website and I want you to go click on something like a page, like a news pa. And I'm.

Gonna do it right now.

Okay. And on the news page, I want you to, I want you to scroll down to, you know, you know, let's see here. Like, I just clicked on the mud. Something about the mudslide. Obviously that, that, that's been going on for a while here, but something on that Washington mud slide. But if you slide down, you'll see that there are blocks on the right side. Okay. Videos for you.

I block all that stuff.

Top stories. Okay. But, but now what they're doing is in a story, in a story, they're having stuff scroll on the bottom like, and they're not. They're nothing to do with Yahoo. They're basically getting paid for a click. But they're sending you two of these obscure stories. Like, you'll see a picture of a girl with like perfect abs or another, a woman with big boobs or a man with crazy muscles that are falling down. And, and it'll say something brief, but it instantly catches your attention. You want to click it because you want to be like, what, what are they? And they'll say something that when you get to that, that next step, you'll realize that the place that they're sending you to isn't sometimes isn't always a viable website. And when I say that doesn't mean that they're virus contained websites, but they just have information or sites that are trying to get you to go there and then from that site they're trying to get you to click on something to buy something. So it's so. And then they'll put an ad up. Like if it's a muscle guys website they'll like GNC will have an ad and they'll want you to click that ad on gnc. And so it's just so the Internet is so stinking interesting to me because, because it's as such they have it now down. They have enough data from each one of us on the globe that search the Internet. They have us down and they know what each one of us want to see. Right. And you know, it goes back to like if you're searching for a book on Amazon and then you go to another site that's not Amazon and all of a sudden you're like holy crap. I, how do they know on, on you know, google.com I was searching for that book. And it's because they track you through cookies.

Yeah.

And you got to clear your cash and your cookies and your Internet. So people, it's always good.

That's called, that's called retargeting.

Correct.

Yeah. There's companies that'll do that for you for a monthly fee. I think it's creepy.

It's very creepy. But, but it's the nature of advertising and it works and it, it isn't. You know, look, let's be honest, like even with kids, I mean they're branding my kid from Nickelodeon Junior. They're branding my child. And, and it's, it's really a bummer. But how else do these people like Nickelodeon stay in business without having an advertiser pay them? There'd be no TV without advertisers. So it's just a system. And as we all go, it's terrible how it is. And it is, it's a bummer that my kid, you know, he knows that that Tide is the only detergent he'll ever use when he gets older because it's, it's on Nick Jr. Almost every day. And so, you know, my kid will know exactly what tight is by the time he's 10 and he'll never do, you know, ounce of laundry. So to me it's just very intriguing on how, how people market. But going back to what you're saying, Mark, you're 100%. Right. It's. It's competing. It's, you know, we're competing for eyeballs, and it's. It's a challenge.

Right. So next podcast, maybe I'll. I'll talk about my results. Yeah, I'm working with a company that's going to help me do this, but I'll let you guys know how it goes. All right. So, Joanne, I love doing this to you.

Nope.

You have no idea what your tip of the week is going to be, do you?

I do.

You do already? That's amazing.

I'm just kidding. I don't have a clue.

Come on, what is it?

Okay, I'm a guy. Let me see here. You know what? That's not that. I take that back. I don't know. I actually thought I had one. I just went to the site, and it's not the site I wanted, so you go, Mark. What's your tip of the week?

My tip of the week? Well, since we were talking about legal stuff, have we talked about us legal forms.com yet?

You know what? I don't think we have.

Okay, so uslegalforms.com is a great place to get of all things legal forms, real estate forms. You can get them from your state. You can also set up your LLCs here. I think they compete with legal zoom deeds.com.

Okay.

That's not like rocket lawyer. So I don't think you get actual advice here.

Okay.

But you can get very popular legal forms. So that is going to be my tip of the week.

Mark, I am. I am at a loss for words. Dude, I don't even know.

You want me to give you your tip of the week?

Yeah, please. This would be the first. This is. This is historical, folks. I've never asked for help for a tip of the week, but I'm asking Mark for his help for tip of the week. All right, go ahead, Mark.

So this is a site that I like to check every morning. And I just find this stuff interesting. It's kind of geeky, but can really help with a lot of different things, especially with technology. And it is lifehacker.com the website lifehacker.com and I'm just looking at popular stories right now, and here's just some examples. What research tells us about the most successful relationships. Microsoft Office is finally on the iPad. The picture perfect Apple app developers workspace. How to return to running after an injury. Productivity 101. A primer to the getting things done philosophy. So it's kind of that. So it's it's kind of cool. It's kind of. That kind of stuff. Have you ever checked out Life Hacker?

No, I have. I just did right now. But that's. That's awesome. In fact, that's the best tip of the week I've ever had.

Come on.

Come on. That was a good one. I like that.

You like that? All right, you're gonna come back next week.

You know what? I got a real big. I got a real busy April, but I, you know, I might do, though we might. For the listeners and for some of the people that want to view it. I'm. I'm actually interested in potentially doing an event where we can sort of every day YouTube us building this tiny house in. In Nevada. I'm going to be in. In Nevada for a good portion of April or, or a couple weeks in April. So maybe we start looking at putting together a tiny house on a property.

Yeah, I'll virtually be there for you.

Okay, that doesn't.

We want to use that. But I'm not going to go there. But. All right. You know where we will be, though, in May 30th and 31st? Vegas, baby. Vegas. The Main Geek seminar, two days, May 30th, 31st. We are very close to booking the venue, and it's going to be very intensive. And Duran is going to be there, right?

I'll be there, folks.

Where I am today, and I'm sure Marco did the same.

No, I'm going to do even more than that. I mean, I'm going to talk about everything that we talk about in the investors toolkit, but to a much deeper level.
