Go drive around new subdivisions with new construction and strike a conversation with the boss of the crew for whatever trade you are looking for.

And, frankly, I wonder if some of these folks who get a bunch of property seemingly overnight don't have paranoia, fear, anxiety, and live with the very real possibility of bankruptcy if things outside of their control happen in the market or a couple of pieces of bad luck strike.

You need to strike while the iron is hot!

Yes i can see well enough to see if i got a strike or spare.  

Deals come and go, so you have to be ready to strike.

I know that's a legal question and we were at the attornies today for that.. but they are thinking knowing the potential value of the property over 50 million and our option price is only 5.5 he may not go easily.one thought I had is to just not make our May payment and come June 15th the option Is voided for none payments.. of course we lose our 1.5 million we put in.. but I am pretty sure I can do a new deal without the other partner.. the other partner is persona non grata and of course he could make the payment but he has deep legal issues so won't be doing that.. so my question is    is there a way that this seller who has taken 1.5 million in option money from us over the last 10 years and he can cancel that deal and just strike a deal with us basically 3.4 of the same partners under the same terms and conditions and just rewrite the deal in a new entityOr will he have to claim all that 1.5 million as ordinary income in 2018 which would be pretty harsh on him.. in fact I don't think he has the money to pay it.. so he would probably have to sell the land he could not encumber it.. because of the long term nature of the land  its 120 acres right on the border of the city limits 1.5 miles from Intel.. its going to come in one day and when it does katy bar the door on value..

Thanks….I moved in to a new town in 2006… and I immediately joined the local REIAs…And the communication / email process of one had me baffled…. although there was a “ bulletin board” ..all comments were delayed a day or two before getting posted… I asked “ why the delay” and it was explained that all posts are vetted to make sure that they complied…blablabla…I called bull… by saying that …in my previous REIAs if you ran afoul of the rules there was a warning and a three strikes and you’re out system… but a sometimes deals a very time sensitive… getting the flip out to the whole group SWIFTLY was very important….

., who strike out on own as a "business".

i guess that's what they say when you run enough reports you will start to KNOW what a good deal is. just watch the FOMO when you do strike gold.

If you are still striking out, PM me.
