Hi John,I like playing with raw land, too, in Snohomish county, WA, just north of Seattle. 

If you’re newer to real estate, role-play scenarios with a mentor or colleague.

Playing small won’t serve you or your family.

So the Jan 13,  2025 deadline is no longer in play

I meditate for 25 minutes, let out my dog, make my coffee and then play piano.

Most of the bad noise right now is about downtown skyscrapers and REIT or Syndication apartment complexes where they played short term versus long term interest rates wrong.  

Then the person is soured on gambling on real estate and not around here to answer questions. 

As an investor in a market where cash flow does not come often and appreciation is a bigger play, I understand your mindset. 

Oregon saw it that way as well.. many folks got cease and desist using guru on line training techniques this just formalizes the activity and levels the playing field and gives both buyers and sellers a mechanism to get out of deals and or have a regulator step in..

And that is really saying something because I invested a tremendous amount of myself and time into my small business and learning to play guitar and my personal recovery and growth as a person.
