Whether you buy land and cruise timber or farm or do orchards,pizza joints,industrial property it has to be in your personality for it to work.

And do it consistently.For example, I'm closing my fourth wholesale deal of the year this coming week and they have all been MLS deals that I have gotten for well under list and market price.Jon may be correct in saying that if you plan to stay in one particular market and do all your deals in that one particular market or city, private sellers may be the better way to go.However, if you can set your business up to do deals in markets where the conditions are right, farming the MLS and wholesaling those deals can be extremely lucrative.That being said, I always have letters or postcards going out to home owners, all the while farming the MLS in selected cities.

There's a saying in my farms by the good estate attorneys and it goes something like this: "If you want to **** over your kids, be sure to leave a will."

There is little to no staging in my farms.

In my farms, as long as the property wasn't in a war zone, land lords would have taken that at twice the price.

THEY DOMINATE MY FARM MARKET. but there is no advancement.

Even if I lowered the price quite a bit, the place has some disadvantages; it is perfect for someone like me as a recreational property, but besides that it doesn't fit well into a different category - homestead, hunting, farming.

I can assure you she didn't get that way growing up on the farm in SW Missouri, she is an exception.

Forst off, IF you expand your farm area, you must make certain you repeat the process of completing your due diligence in the new market area as I directed you to do at the start.Second, rather than go down that road, perhaps open up your current farm to a different approach, i.e. direct marketing to motivated sellers like absentee owners, vacant homes, pre-foreclosures, divorce leads, etc.

If you are a surviving spouse of a farmer, you may also be treated as materially participating in the farm, if the real property used for farming meets the estate tax rules for special valuation of farm property passed from a qualifying decedent and the surviving spouse actively manages the farm.
