I got a great deal on a piece of property from a developer I do work for. Not only did I get a great deal, but they subordinated a decent amount so that I could get financing to build a house on it right away and not have to hold it for a longer period of time to save up some extra cash.

I would like to get her and her husband something. Not a joint gift but a gift to each of them to just say thank you and let them know how much I appreciate all they have done for me.

What are some ideas of things I could do, I was going to get him a gift card to a hunting store, but for her I am kind of at a loss. It won't be a large amount but just something to show my appreciation. Just because they have money coming in like crazy doesn't mean they don't appreciate small thank you gifts?

What are some ideas others have done in the past.

Thanks

Okay, now I know this is my first post but I would like to say thank you all for taking the time to read this.

I own a small 1/4 acre lot that I have not paid my last two years of property taxes on, why did I not pay? Let's just say I planned on building on the property this fall and was just going to pay them off at that time. Well last week I had a builder approach me about buying my property. I told him to make an offer and told him what I wanted. He sends in his offer with a low number and I counter higher than I previously stated. I get a call from him and he wants to discuss the price which I came to the conclusion that I would not sale for what he wanted to pay. Fast forward a week and I get a counter saying this is his last offer and he offered me $2000 less than my original counter.

Now comes the question, I would like to sale it for his offer because I can use it for another piece of property I have my eye on. I owe $2,300 in back taxes, would it be wrong of me to send a counter back saying I will accept your offer if we can agree that he pays the taxes?

The reason he wants the property is because it has an amazing view and is the last lot in the subdivision that is relatively flat and easy to build on, the other lots require a lot of site work.

What would you suggest my move be, ask him to pay the back taxes or maybe split the cost?

Thanks again for taking your time to help me out.
