This sewer line runs under 2 of the other subdivided lots that were intended to have houses on them about 400' away and ties into a city main 1 block away from the houseOct 2008 - I purchase the home and everything is great, assuming all is per plan.2010 - Developer sells one of the lots that my sewer runs under to the water district for a future clean water well site. 

From there you can cultivate the relationship by email / calling them to stay top of mind for future leads. 

To them a 5 year old roof is in good shape for the near future the same as a 18 year old roof.

I have high confidence in future appreciation, but relying on it is certainly risky. 

Past performance doesn't guarantee the same future performance. 

I'm open to learning, collaborating, and possibly finding business partners for future ventures.   

Fastest way to learn is by networking with people who are actively doing what you want to be doing in the future 

I think about taking these few issues and multiplying them out times ten (that's today, and hopefully in the future 20X or 30X) and it just makes me depressed thinking about it.  

Just depends on your current rate, strategy, future cash-flow, etc. 

Your future in REI depends on it!
