Hi all,

I'm interviewing for a job in the Augusta area, and am considering making the move from WI to GA if things go well.

I'll like to look at some houses this weekend (Friday or Saturday) and need a realtor to show me around.

Any realtors out there that could do some viewing on short notice? Recommendations?

Thanks,

Kevin

Thank you for the detailed advice and responses. 

Looks like the sellers are ready to talk numbers this week, so I should know more in a few days.

Looking for some advice on valuation of an existing day care. My wife and I are looking at purchasing an existing business + property in the area. We are early in the process as we have not had an opportunity to comb through the financials, yet. 

The real estate valuation seems straight forward: appraisal and/or income method based on similar commercial spaces and cap rate...

The business, beyond assets less liabilities seems more fuzzy to me...how much value for the existing clientele, a good reputation, etc? 

Ultimately, we will be making the decision based upon our comfortability with the cash flow situation vs. our time investment, but any insight and expertise on sale/acquisition of this type of business would be appreciated!

Good soils, soil health, proper drainage, climate, etc. would be contributing factors to high value land for agricultural use. Some of these factors are easier to change than others!

I would not consider the choice of seed type to be a significant factor in determining land value, although a history of high yields could certainly help, and there are better/worse choices when it comes to pairing a piece of land with a seed variety if your goal is high yield. A good steward of the land knows how to profit from it sustainably by maintaining soil health and nutrient balance, and healthy and productive land is valuable. 

Monsanto is one example of a handful of modern seed suppliers using the latest seed/trait technologies towards higher yielding crops. Aside from the buzz and controversy, farmers generally find their products to be favorable and profitable in modern agricultural systems.

Corn and soybeans (the two major cash-crops, at least in my area) have to be replanted every year, regardless of seed supplier. 

Does anyone know where to find history of sale info for properties in Waukesha county? 

A handful of other surrounding counties (Dodge, Jefferson, Washington) have history of sale info within the tax records search websites. In some cases, I have been able to dig up sale amount from the Waukesha county register of deed's office RE documents search, but not conveniently or reliably.

Just opened this convo up on a laptop browser, and duh... the event date and time are obvious. The time/date didn't show up when I was looking at this thread on the mobile app.
