Speaker 1: grew up with a lot of water.
0:51
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's got rough down there.
0:52
Speaker 1: Yeah it is rough and uh. And we're actually gonna
0:55
Speaker 1: talk this morning about things to know and have inspected
0:58
Speaker 1: before buying a real property. And one of the things
1:00
Speaker 1: I touched on is floodplains and other things. So we're
1:03
Speaker 1: going to talk with Matt about that and so much
1:05
Speaker 1: more this morning with Ask the Experts in Rock Realty.
1:08
Speaker 1: I have mentioned the website Rockwisconsin dot com. And I
1:11
Speaker 1: really hope during the show or as soon as you
1:12
Speaker 1: get into the office this morning, we will not tell
1:14
Speaker 1: your boss. Head on over to Rockwisconsin dot com. It's
1:17
Speaker 1: always fun, nice little escape. Even if you're not looking
1:20
Speaker 1: to buy anything like that, it's still a fun place
1:22
Speaker 1: to check out and see what's out there. And one
1:25
Speaker 1: of the properties you will see is a beautiful home
1:28
Speaker 1: on twenty one twenty Thomas Street in Beloit and matt
1:33
Speaker 1: this week's featured listing. The house is beautiful and I
1:36
Speaker 1: start scrolling through some of the pictures and I'm like,
1:39
Speaker 1: this is a big, big lot. And then thankfully the
1:44
Speaker 1: listing agent, Nicole, she actually puts some nice pictures up
1:48
Speaker 1: so you can kind of get an idea, an aerial
1:50
Speaker 1: view of what this lot looks like. This is a
1:53
Speaker 1: really really nice home on a really nice piece of property,
1:56
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah.
1:57
Speaker 2: I mean it's getting harder and harder to you know,
2:01
Speaker 2: something on acreage with a lot of garage space for
2:06
Speaker 2: under four hundred thousand dollars, and this one fits the bill. Yeah,
2:10
Speaker 2: I'm here to get a ranch home. It's got the
2:12
Speaker 2: three bedrooms that most people are looking for on just
2:14
Speaker 2: over an acre lot. And boy does it have garage space.
2:20
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about that, because that is from that.
2:23
Speaker 1: When you see the house right away, you notice it's
2:26
Speaker 1: got is it. It's one, two, three, four doors. One
2:32
Speaker 1: of those is a double so I'm counting. And this
2:35
Speaker 1: is this is just my my broadcast school map. Here
2:40
Speaker 1: there you can park in covered areas, five separate vehicles.
2:44
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the depth of the attached garage, Matt,
2:48
Speaker 1: and that looks like you could probably squeeze.
2:51
Speaker 2: Well, you know what caught me by surprises a little
2:54
Speaker 2: later in the photos, you see there's a sixth door
2:58
Speaker 2: on the backside of separate so, oh yeah, it's actually
3:01
Speaker 2: a six car garage on this.
3:03
Speaker 1: Gotch How great? How cool is that? I would love
3:07
Speaker 1: to have a six car garage and I would have
3:10
Speaker 1: five cars, and then I put put a boat in.
3:13
Speaker 2: That it gives you reason to buy all those toys.
3:15
Speaker 1: It does, yes, it does. But honey, we've got this
3:18
Speaker 1: perfect spot. That's what I run into. Now it's like
3:22
Speaker 1: where you're gonna put it? Well, well, uh so, yeah.
3:24
Speaker 1: So it's a great, great house right in Beloit, great
3:27
Speaker 1: lot of over an acre, plenty of garage space, three bedrooms,
3:32
Speaker 1: one and a half bath, and uh and square footage wise. Great,
3:36
Speaker 1: they're under four hundred thousand dollars. You're not going to
3:38
Speaker 1: beat this property on Nicole Fisher. She is the listing
3:41
Speaker 1: agent on this week's featured listing. Her telephone number six
3:44
Speaker 1: oh eight two eight nine fifty one forty five. That's
3:48
Speaker 1: six oh eight two eight nine fifty one forty five
3:52
Speaker 1: for Nicole. Great data set up that showing at the
3:55
Speaker 1: house on Thomas Street in Beloit. You can see it
3:57
Speaker 1: also if you head on over to rock with dot
4:00
Speaker 1: com that's rck W Wisconsin dot com. Take a peek
4:04
Speaker 1: at that beautiful house. And of course you can schedule
4:06
Speaker 1: that listening with Nicole as well. As mentioned this week's conversation.
4:10
Speaker 1: We'll actually talk a little bit more too about this
4:12
Speaker 1: feature listening a little bit later on in the program,
4:14
Speaker 1: but this week we are going to primarily talk about
4:17
Speaker 1: some things to inspect before buying rural property. And speaking
4:21
Speaker 1: of acreage, Matt, obviously, a lot of folks what really
4:24
Speaker 1: draws them to the rural part of the area is
4:27
Speaker 1: the fact that you've got space, you can get a
4:29
Speaker 1: little bit of acreage, but there are things to think about.
4:32
Speaker 1: And just like in a city, although maybe less restrictive
4:36
Speaker 1: things like zoning, land use, those type of things, there
4:38
Speaker 1: are still there are still guidelines. There are still some
4:41
Speaker 1: restrictions in those areas, aren't there can be.
4:43
Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah, it's surprising how zoning can change from municipality
4:48
Speaker 2: to municipality. You know, there's some zoning that doesn't allow
4:54
Speaker 2: you to build an outbuilding even if you have acreage.
4:56
Speaker 2: There's other other zoning that allows you to build just
4:59
Speaker 2: a monstrosity of an outbuilding as long as it's used
5:02
Speaker 2: for your own personal business. And so it's it's an
5:05
Speaker 2: important thing to figure out too what sort of zoning
5:08
Speaker 2: each property, rural property comes with, and then also what
5:12
Speaker 2: you're allowed to use it for.
5:14
Speaker 1: As a general overview with what we're about to talk about.
5:17
Speaker 1: Also this also, and I know I bring this up
5:18
Speaker 1: a lot, but I think it's a very important point,
5:21
Speaker 1: is working with that right agent on this type of stuff.
5:24
Speaker 1: You know, if you know, like I want to, I'm
5:26
Speaker 1: looking for a rural lot, working with that agent that's
5:30
Speaker 1: familiar with that. I mean again, I know the agents
5:33
Speaker 1: at Rock Realty are phenomenal at what they do and
5:36
Speaker 1: can help you with these very things. I know some
5:38
Speaker 1: folks prefer and work a lot on the isthmus and
5:41
Speaker 1: some of those small lots, maybe condos, some of those homes.
5:44
Speaker 1: And I know some other agents are like, bring it on,
5:46
Speaker 1: I want this, you know, this is my world. I
5:48
Speaker 1: love the acreage, I love that talk. So this really
5:51
Speaker 1: reinforces the importance of working with a really great agent
5:54
Speaker 1: and the folks at Rock Realty would love to help you.
5:56
Speaker 1: And one of the big differences too is when you
5:58
Speaker 1: get away from the city also get away from some
6:01
Speaker 1: of the infrastructure, things like water, sewer, those type of services.
6:06
Speaker 1: You want to understand what this house has, what this
6:09
Speaker 1: property has, what options you have, whether it's mound system
6:12
Speaker 1: or other things. But understanding how that, how that private
6:16
Speaker 1: system for your for your well in septic, how that works,
6:19
Speaker 1: and what's available as far as options. It's an important
6:21
Speaker 1: question to be asking.
6:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I mean and just in talking about this
6:25
Speaker 2: Thomas Street listing and also as well in septic. Right,
6:28
Speaker 2: so nice little subject matter for the day. Yeah, and
6:32
Speaker 2: you know, well in sceptic, I mean that's uh, that
6:34
Speaker 2: in and of itself is just so many details, so
6:37
Speaker 2: many things to look forward to know about you know,
6:40
Speaker 2: with with your well, whether or not you've got e
6:44
Speaker 2: Coli in it right, and you know, you know a
6:46
Speaker 2: lot of these things are scary for people that haven't
6:49
Speaker 2: lived in rural properties, but the truth of the matter
6:51
Speaker 2: is almost everything can be resolved anything that's found, you know,
6:55
Speaker 2: whether they shock the well or or you know, raise
6:58
Speaker 2: the the casing on the well a little taller just
7:00
Speaker 2: to make sure you don't get any you know, rodents
7:03
Speaker 2: in there right. And septic it's it's its own unique thing.
7:07
Speaker 2: You know. You've got your you know, below grade septic tanks,
7:12
Speaker 2: you've got mound systems, you've got you know, pumps and grinders,
7:18
Speaker 2: and there's just a lot to know. But it's one
7:20
Speaker 2: of those things that if you have a experienced agent,
7:23
Speaker 2: they can go through the details and make it a
7:25
Speaker 2: little less intimidating because obviously there are hundreds of thousands,
7:29
Speaker 2: if not millions, of people living in rural areas and
7:31
Speaker 2: they're doing just fine.
7:32
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, you know, I I've never had a house
7:36
Speaker 1: with a well, but my wife grew up in northern Wisconsin,
7:38
Speaker 1: and of course that's that is how even if you're
7:41
Speaker 1: in cities, oftentimes they're still using well service, and she
7:45
Speaker 1: swears like if she if she had things her way,
7:48
Speaker 1: she'd get a rag out back and be drilling for water.
7:51
Speaker 1: It's just like the water, you know, in her world,
7:53
Speaker 1: nothing's better than well water. It is perfect. They're a
7:56
Speaker 1: nice thing is when you're on a well, guess what
7:57
Speaker 1: you're not paying.
7:59
Speaker 2: A monthly charge? O?
8:01
Speaker 1: What A what a blessing? That is one of the
8:03
Speaker 1: things that can come up sometimes. I think folks may
8:05
Speaker 1: look at maps and you'll see like a big track
8:08
Speaker 1: of land and you're going to the same person own
8:10
Speaker 1: all of this, and sometimes they do. Sometimes it's various owners.
8:14
Speaker 1: And if there's an area, for example, that may be landlocked,
8:17
Speaker 1: there may be things like easements and other things, and
8:20
Speaker 1: those can be tricky also as you're saying, wait, I
8:22
Speaker 1: own that land, but somebody else is allowed to use
8:26
Speaker 1: it for certain purposes. Those are things that as a
8:29
Speaker 1: as a potential buyer, you definitely want to want to understand, fully,
8:33
Speaker 1: isn't aren't they?
8:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's a good idea to you know,
8:36
Speaker 2: run some run some research on the title word great
8:39
Speaker 2: to find out what easements are in place. And easement
8:43
Speaker 2: is just allowing access on your property, right and it
8:48
Speaker 2: could be utility companies that need to get to, you know,
8:50
Speaker 2: some power lines. It could be the neighbor who uses
8:55
Speaker 2: a part of your driveway to get to his section
8:58
Speaker 2: of land. Right, maybe there's a shared driveway agreement on
9:04
Speaker 2: the property. Sometimes even shared septic agreements. So it's good
9:09
Speaker 2: to know ahead of time what's on there. And it's interesting,
9:13
Speaker 2: you know how many years back some of these things
9:15
Speaker 2: can go oh you know, you know, you could have
9:17
Speaker 2: something from you know, in the nineteen thirties or forties
9:19
Speaker 2: that's still in place on the property that you should
9:22
Speaker 2: know about, just to make sure you're aware before you
9:25
Speaker 2: make an offer.
9:26
Speaker 1: As somebody we've got on the backside of our property,
9:29
Speaker 1: we've got an easement for the power company because they
9:32
Speaker 1: run the power lines through there for the homes along
9:35
Speaker 1: one of the streets on the other side of the property.
9:38
Speaker 1: And that was something when we were looking that question
9:41
Speaker 1: that I had about that some of this stuff come
9:43
Speaker 1: out also in title work or is that not included matter?
9:46
Speaker 1: Is it kind of each individual case unique in its own.
9:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're working with the title company, and in
9:52
Speaker 2: our state we do we work with title companies, you've
9:55
Speaker 2: got two choices you can wait until they run the
9:57
Speaker 2: title after you haven't accepted offer, or you can do
10:00
Speaker 2: something you know, it's it's called different things depending on
10:02
Speaker 2: the title company, but search and hold is a common
10:05
Speaker 2: name where you preemptively say, hey, can you run the
10:08
Speaker 2: title work see what pops up, and let us know
10:12
Speaker 2: like what you're what you're seeing, what's been recorded on
10:15
Speaker 2: the deed? What's uh, what's the description say for the property?
10:19
Speaker 2: You know, so you know exactly what you're buying, what
10:21
Speaker 2: you're getting into prior to making an offer. Nice that
10:24
Speaker 2: this market's leveling out a bit, so buyers may have
10:27
Speaker 2: the chance to actually do that sort of due diligence.
10:29
Speaker 2: But it's important whether it's zoning or property access and easement,
10:34
Speaker 2: it's just super important that a buyer does the due diligence.
10:38
Speaker 2: You know, as a as an agent, we can give
10:40
Speaker 2: them the information that has been provided to us so
10:43
Speaker 2: that we might find ourselves. But it's extremely important that
10:47
Speaker 2: you know, you contact, for instance, like the d n
10:50
Speaker 2: R or the county zoning office and just double check
10:54
Speaker 2: things right. You don't want to get into a property
10:56
Speaker 2: and find out that you're you're not able to put
10:59
Speaker 2: those the multiple out buildings down there like you.
11:01
Speaker 1: Thought you could.
11:01
Speaker 2: So it's always best to do your due diligence before
11:04
Speaker 2: making any offer. And if you're going to make an
11:06
Speaker 2: offer and it's a competitive situation, put in some sort
11:09
Speaker 2: of contingency in there so that you know you have
11:12
Speaker 2: the time and the option of maybe getting out of
11:15
Speaker 2: the offer if you find out some bad news.
11:17
Speaker 1: And the nice thing in the connected world we are
11:19
Speaker 1: in now, there are a lot of great resources you mentioned.
11:21
Speaker 1: Folks are saying, well, well, how do I know DNR
11:23
Speaker 1: codes and other things? And I know there's fantastic websites
11:26
Speaker 1: and other things. A simple querry oftentimes can point you
11:29
Speaker 1: right in the right direction, as we talked this morning
11:31
Speaker 1: with Matt Heytman. Of course, Matt comes to us from
11:33
Speaker 1: Rockrealty Online, Rockwisconsin dot com. That's our Ock Wisconsin dot com.
11:38
Speaker 1: They're telling number six O eight six seven three fifty
11:41
Speaker 1: four hundred. That's six h eight six seven three fifty
11:43
Speaker 1: four hundred. It'speaking of being pointed in the right direction.
11:46
Speaker 1: I know these are available and they are important, which
11:48
Speaker 1: are flood maps, flood zones, understanding where those areas are,
11:53
Speaker 1: and of course wetlands. They each present different kind of
11:56
Speaker 1: rules guidance. They also affect things like insurance and other things.
12:00
Speaker 1: If you want to carry additional insurance, that's something you
12:03
Speaker 1: definitely want to investigate also, isn't it.
12:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we get two different things there. Your flood zones.
12:08
Speaker 2: In general, a lot of rural properties may have, yeah,
12:13
Speaker 2: like wetlands and a flood zone on the property. There are,
12:18
Speaker 2: for instance, our the insurance company that we work with,
12:22
Speaker 2: they can actually put the address in find out if
12:25
Speaker 2: it triggers any kind of flood zones on the property,
12:29
Speaker 2: so that you know, you know how much more you
12:32
Speaker 2: may have to pay for insurance if it isn't a
12:34
Speaker 2: flood zone, you know, the wetlands and shoreland zoning. Even so,
12:39
Speaker 2: if you have a creek or a river running through
12:42
Speaker 2: the property, it's possible that it's subject to shortland zoning,
12:46
Speaker 2: which offers its own bit of restrictions, right, So it's
12:49
Speaker 2: always good to know about that as well. So again
12:53
Speaker 2: I would say that, yeah, rural property is in general,
12:56
Speaker 2: you know, it does take a little more preemptive due diligence.
12:59
Speaker 2: I think then if you're just buy something in a subdivision,
13:02
Speaker 2: that's a pretty cookie cutter.
13:03
Speaker 1: What's fascinating is how quickly you become an expert on
13:06
Speaker 1: these things though. Is you know, you talk about folks
13:07
Speaker 1: that have beachfront property, for example, you talk to them
13:10
Speaker 1: about like what is and what is is and is
13:13
Speaker 1: not approved? They know exactly and it's it's actually you know,
13:17
Speaker 1: as folks do this, you think about all the amazing
13:20
Speaker 1: benefits to that, to those rural properties and you know,
13:22
Speaker 1: whether it's acreage, whether it's a lot with with lake
13:26
Speaker 1: or river. I mean, it's really a great, great benefit.
13:30
Speaker 1: And again some of those things to inspect and check
13:32
Speaker 1: out and just understand before you're buying a really important
13:35
Speaker 1: steps to be taking. As we talked this morning with
13:37
Speaker 1: Matt Heytman of Rock Realty, great day. Whether you're looking

15:13
Speaker 1: of the city. I know. With you know, if you
15:15
Speaker 1: live on the Isthmus, you're literally ten to fifteen minutes
15:18
Speaker 1: from getting to the middle of nowhere, I know, or
15:20
Speaker 1: vice versa. I agree.
15:21
Speaker 2: That's one of the things that kind of attracted me
15:23
Speaker 2: to this area when I first moved here was you

Speaker 2: could be literally from downtown to suburbs to the middle
15:30
Speaker 2: of a cornfield in twenty minutes. Yeah, it's everything you need.
15:34
Speaker 1: Want to go out for a nice dinner at a
15:35
Speaker 1: nice restaurant and a downtown locale, you can do that

Speaker 1: and then yeah, go head out to the country and
15:42

Speaker 1: you do that. The website Rock Wisconsin dot com. You
15:52
Speaker 1: want to get to know some of the agents, just
15:54
Speaker 1: head on over to Wisconsin buyeragent dot com. That's Wisconsin
15:58
Speaker 1: buyer agent dot Com also can call six oh' eight
16:01
Speaker 1: six seven three fifty four hundred. That's six oh' eight
16:03
Speaker 1: six seven three fifty four hundred. When it comes to
16:08
Speaker 1: I'm a city kid. I grew up in the city,
16:10
Speaker 1: and as a matter of fact, until I bought my home,
16:13
Speaker 1: I had never lived in a house. And this is
16:14
Speaker 1: a fact where there wasn't a direct neighbor that I
16:16
Speaker 1: shared at least one wall with and first time ever.
16:19
Speaker 1: One of the nice things when you live in the city,
16:21
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear about like where things start and where
16:24
Speaker 1: things end as far as as far as property lines.
16:27
Speaker 1: You move out into the country, things get a little
16:29
Speaker 1: more confusing, and it's really really important to understand what
16:34
Speaker 1: those boundaries are. Maybe get it, you know, have a
16:37
Speaker 1: survey or come out and let you see firsthand where
16:40
Speaker 1: those are, because when you're standing in the middle of
16:42
Speaker 1: a forest or you're standing in the middle of a field,
16:44
Speaker 1: it is really hard, even with the greatest GPS on
16:47
Speaker 1: your phone to determine that. You really want to make
16:50
Speaker 1: sure that you understand what it is that you're buying,
16:52
Speaker 1: isn't it, Matt.
16:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I mean even if you see stakes in
16:57
Speaker 2: the ground, it doesn't mean that's where the corner is, right,
17:00
Speaker 2: So it's important to if if the surveys, if knowing
17:05
Speaker 2: your boundaries is really important, it's important to get a
17:08
Speaker 2: survey right to get it professionally done. Access Dane, you know,
17:13
Speaker 2: the county website can give you kind of a rough
17:17
Speaker 2: idea from above using kind of a Google map overhead shot.
17:21
Speaker 2: But you know, by no means is that for certain.
17:24
Speaker 2: And you know we've seen surveys you know, come out
17:27
Speaker 2: and it be significantly different, right. You know, you can
17:29
Speaker 2: see situations where there's a fence on your property and
17:32
Speaker 2: you know nobody you or the neighbor didn't know it
17:35
Speaker 2: at the time.
17:35
Speaker 1: Right.
17:36
Speaker 2: So you know, if if it's an important thing, the boundaries,
17:38
Speaker 2: you definitely want to have a surveyor out there. Otherwise
17:40
Speaker 2: it's it's hard to say for sure.
17:41
Speaker 1: You mentioned that Access Dane and I know, like Rock
17:44
Speaker 1: County has the g I S and I think Access
17:46
Speaker 1: Dane connects to it as well, And that's it's a
17:48
Speaker 1: cool resource for a number of things. By the way,
17:50
Speaker 1: as we talk about getting online Rock Wisconsin dot com.
17:53
Speaker 1: Also if you want to Google that you can see
17:55
Speaker 1: get a look at your own property and just kind
17:57
Speaker 1: of see what things look like and then kind to
18:00
Speaker 1: get an idea of of where property lines are. You
18:02
Speaker 1: maybe a little surprised by that, but as Matt mentioned,
18:05
Speaker 1: the importance of of you know, actually having its surveyed
18:08
Speaker 1: if that is something that that is really of concern,
18:12
Speaker 1: and of course think about putting in a fence or again,
18:14
Speaker 1: oh I want to build a building over here, a
18:15
Speaker 1: building over there, you want to make sure that ultimately
18:18
Speaker 1: that it's going to be on your property. We're talking
18:20
Speaker 1: earlier too about about sometimes shared driveways and other things.
18:25
Speaker 1: Sometimes there can be access roads and uh and sometimes
18:29
Speaker 1: and you'll see it. You'll say, you'll see signs on
18:32
Speaker 1: the end of end of what you believe to be
18:33
Speaker 1: a road, it'll say private drive Understanding that that who's
18:37
Speaker 1: responsible for for what parts of the of the access
18:41
Speaker 1: That is an important part of this that folks may
18:44
Speaker 1: not always think about.
18:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, you know, it's it's surprising how nice a
18:49
Speaker 2: roads sometimes are considered private.
18:51
Speaker 1: Yah.
18:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, and sometimes it's pretty obvious that the gravel road
18:54
Speaker 2: is not something that the county is going to come
18:55
Speaker 2: out and take care of, right, So, so knowing that
18:58
Speaker 2: knowing if it's uh, you know, your responsibility and neighbors responsibility.
19:02
Speaker 2: There's just so many times that you see two rural properties,
19:06
Speaker 2: one drive going in and then it splits off, you know,
19:09
Speaker 2: and and just knowing like who's who's in charge of
19:12
Speaker 2: that snow removal out there? Who's charge who's in charge
19:15
Speaker 2: of mowing around it?
19:16
Speaker 1: It's important as we talk about this stuff too, Matt.
19:19
Speaker 1: I feel like it's such a fun experience. I know,
19:23
Speaker 1: for there's there are certain types of folks that really
19:26
Speaker 1: and I have many of them in my life, that
19:28
Speaker 1: really like that rural atmosphere, that rural environment. They love
19:32
Speaker 1: the idea that when they walk out their door at night,
19:34
Speaker 1: go out on the back patio, they hear nothing but
19:37
Speaker 1: the breeze through the trees. And we think about that
19:39
Speaker 1: stuff and we go through these some of these steps.
19:41
Speaker 1: It's it's again we talked about some of the great
19:43
Speaker 1: resources out there. It's really just you talk about a
19:47
Speaker 1: great life is experiencing that for folks, And it's really
19:51
Speaker 1: a great data to be talking with an agent. Maybe
19:53
Speaker 1: you're tired of having neighbors, Maybe you're tired of of
19:55
Speaker 1: street lights. Maybe you want to look up at the
19:57
Speaker 1: sky and actually see something. Yeah, what a great dayta
19:59
Speaker 1: is to start that work.
20:01
Speaker 2: We're also just electronically connected, yeah right now right that
20:05
Speaker 2: we're just in our in our phones and our socials.
20:08
Speaker 2: It's uh really hard to disconnect at all. And having
20:12
Speaker 2: a rural property, I mean it's a uh it's something
20:15
Speaker 2: that people are really becoming attracted too because you know,
20:18
Speaker 2: you can feel that sort of disconnection and kind of
20:20
Speaker 2: get back in touch with nature. Maybe even you know,
20:23
Speaker 2: put your bare feet in the grass occasionally.
20:25
Speaker 1: Check that and just imagine how cool that would just agree.
20:28
Speaker 1: And one thing too, speaking of the technology thing, is
20:30
Speaker 1: it used to be, uh, you know you'd have to
20:32
Speaker 1: be like, well do I if you do need to
20:34
Speaker 1: maybe you work remotely? Other things? What about cable at
20:37
Speaker 1: internet or or that. Now there's satellite and other things
20:41
Speaker 1: that folks are using. It's like, eh, it doesn't you
20:43
Speaker 1: can really get rural and and really not have to
20:45
Speaker 1: worry about it. So that's a great day to start
20:48
