The difference is  - would you rather pay taxes on the seeds (Roth) or on the harvest (Trad.)? 

If we bail on the option the landowner is going to have to  pay tax on those millions we gave him over the last 11 years so he would be forced to sell and now is not the time  etc etc.. so we have some leverage on the land owner in this case since he is out of cash each and every year. plus he gets 30k a year in ground lease to a seed farmer :)  so really he is bringing 1bout 150k .. which last him about 10 months. 

In other words, your cash can't just stop there...or you are losing.Whether you ride the note or the property bus, the money must be moving in and out of the different buses, and every time you get off you have to take a new "friend" with you...in the form of cash profit or cash flow.That's the real secret to building cash flow fast....keep your seed money moving through one vehicle through the next...and not stopping in any of them to enjoy the view.  

An RE investor I met at the gym instill the REI seed in me. 

Flip first to grow your seed money. 

Normally I plant week 1 or 2 in August for fall seedings.

While loaning yourself this seed money can be useful under certain circumstances, often times the loan must be repaid in a relatively short time frame. 

I agree Mike, there are some bad seeds just like any other industry, but the majority of the investors I meet in our market really have a genuine love for Wisconsin and find joy in improving the community. 

I also seed these accounts from the beginning with a few thousand dollars, depending on what you might think is an appropriate amount for emergency funds. 

Have the cut the most but, use Ridex or other products with Copper Sulfate in them or use copper sulfate can be found at the older hardware/ seed and feed farm store.
