@Jay Hinrichs I handled an auction sale years ago where the city/state had assessed a riverside parcel at 60+ acres for decades when it was actually less than 20.

He could have sold it to any investor, but he called me because he trusted I would handle it with care and respect his wishes.

Yes the biggest issue was they grew way too fast and he set up an entire servicing company to handle all of their deals.

Whether that’s refinancing in five years or eventually selling the property, you’ll want to know how you plan to handle the seller carry when it comes due.
