I guess they were Freudian slips from my years in public accounting.

I graduated from ECU in 1992, started a small business that has been open to the public in the same location for 32 years while slowly and methodically built this small RE retirement portfolio and with our last one set to graduate next year,  I'm ready to retire and relax.

The question becomes: is building of an Amazon or Meta data center, which is for enhancing the growth and profitability of an individual company, in the public interest?

If you get a copy of the seller's deed from the public records and it was prepared and recorded by a title company, their file number is probably on it, most likely in the upper left-hand corner. 

normally from what I've seen on a national entitlement and an institutional level most people avoid deals that don't have public utilities and I'd recommend the same if it isn't too late.

@Taylor WatersI would ask him to show you the deals he has done and referrals to other people he has mentoredIt’s easy to do a public records search to see if he is telling the truth.
