I liken it to the story of the tortoise and the hare.

I'm just a RE imvstor tortoise over here on the far west side. 

The tortoise and the hare race each other, do you remember who wins the race?

Its been years, maybe a decade since I revisited the site but my mom mentioned she often gets calls from people looking to buy the residential property in Highlands county for years now just as well, and proposed we built something on it.I'm more into the mediterranean and/or art deco style homes, but with materials price and the current buildup to an inevitable proxy civil war/collapse in america, dont find it worth it to start building a mansion there although the surrounding properties sure do look quite fancy.We were thinking of going the 'customized' manufactured home route.

I like to say that Indianapolis is like the tortoise and the hare--slow but steady which of course isn't for everyone.

I am the tortoise then the hare.

When the land was cleared, a Gopher Tortoise burrow was discovered.

Also, it's hard work, it's a lot of stress, and if you're a tortoise buy/holder like myself, nothing is instant and it's a waiting game.   

Haha - and took a cruise to Mediterranean twice per year...hahaha I totally know what that's all about... 

We have ancient cities and roads galore wandering off into the sea, now many MANY feet under the Mediterranean waters.
