Pause, let them speak and listen carefully to what they say with words and body language.

@Charlie Fitzgerald  its just we have short memories.. and Appreciation tends to get targeted as anyone who would invest for appreciation is not wise..when in fact in 07 to 2010 NO model was immune from the wipe out.I look at OPUS  huge billion dollar commercial developer from Minnesota.. they build some of the premier commercial retail in PDX for 20 years.they got caught holding a ton of commercial in Phoenix and had to file BK.For me cash flow is nice but appreciation and forced appreciation is nicer and better payday.as for cash flow I like interest  and not dealing with tenants and PM's...

Wetlands aren't always connected to bodies of running water, but they can be... so if there's anything of the sort on/near the property, you'll definitely want to be aware of this before you buy.Of course, if you don't plan to build anything on the land, then these issues may be completely irrelevant - but usually, with a property of that size, building would be one of the more common uses.

For instance, some investors have ignored or have been slow to adhere the license requirements, so those notes in existence but because there has not been an extensive enforcement of rights and remedies, the body of law around non-compliant Seller origination is not filled out well.

However, just like a gear, constant grinding will eventually lead to wear out.Hitting the reset button, when needed, is a great way to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.

I would try to buy some more ground from this guy or help him improve the access enough so that every body can use it IN TRADE for some more acreage (bigger barrel) and then I would get behind this guy and help him get the commercial zoning. 

There's a whole body of law around residential leases, and you lease terms can't override that.

Most documents are scanned and uploaded, and consultations, while nice in person, are just as effective by phone unless you are trying to look him in the eye and read body language.  

Most will say years, most will say I took some courses, read some books, listen to tapes, joined groups and forums and we can go on and on with this.Most make claims for their lack of success because I have no money, I have bad credit, no body will help me, you just don't understand my life and yes we could go on and on!

It's something to watch 3...6 months from now, no one is immune to this (excuse the pun).I don't expect everything to be business as usual even when the death rate slows, there will have to be cutbacks by corporations and professionals to compensate for the losses.
