@Sandy Sawyer Thank you for the insight.

Things that affect value here:  crop type, water-well or district, type of irrigation, utilities, tons per acre, water rights or shares, dwellings or homes, soil class (1, 2, 3, etc), mineral rights. 

Not to add to your things to be worried about but.If it is a commercial repair garage during your due diligence period may want to get the soil tested for hazardous waste.You definitively don't want to buy an EPA issue.

I've got 7 STRs rented to a group of guys that are cleaning up contaminated soil for the government. 

This involved drilling holes through each slab of the 11 buildings and taking gas samples to see if the soil under the buildings was contaminated. 

So you're the guy that was selling the self-storage condos, now I remember this was like off NE Sandy, if you got them sold congratulations.

Second generation space, Class A, Sandy Springs sub-market - $30-40/RSF TIA. 

I have a huge green thumb so down the road after I get established I’d like to get into land consulting (detailed land maps, soil samples, tree analysis, etc.)I know this has been asked a lot on this forum but does anyone have any good beginner tips?

Only you can answer that question. if you buy a lot for $300k soil, surveys, etc + building plans + all details and + engineering + fees from city and fees for studies+ utilities: would be anywhere between : $50k to $100k (depending on city) and the people you work with.
