You shouldn't sell an investment just because it has performed bad in the past, you should sell an investment if you believe it will perform bad in the future relative to other investments you may be able to partake in.

NO COMPETITION> lol.. now I did not partake in what you see these guys who taught the landacadamy and such most of the stuff they buy and sell is worthless junk.I bought buildable small acreages would perc them put well in maybe septic drive way pad and make a bunch on the resale.. a lot of folks just can't put their heads around how to do it.. it seems simple but to most its not... just like buying a junker house fixing it up and selling it to a home owner homeowner could do it and cut our fee's for doing a fix and flip but they can't see it.your area is FULL of Acreage.. and then if you can get some with Timber.. well then you just hit the mother load..

@Matt Hoyt, giving up flat rate to someone seems better to me that giving up equity to someone who will partake not only in the cash flow but the reversion proceeds. 

I explained that the above scenario was something I would like to partake in; if at all possible.

It's what I use to achieve your stated goal in the markets I partake in.

I personally know folks who partake in it and have done well.

I have stated several times; here and other places that I will not and do not plan to partake in shady/illegal actions.  

I suggest you don't attempt to partake but just observe and learn.

They said they never have had to do that- but I really don't want to be partaking in anything illegal.

If you're looking for office space, need more frequent oversight, administrative support and/or want to partake in the systems of a larger or better organized business, you should look to pay a bit more.
