Quote from @Sarah Kensinger: So many answers that you're probably more confused than not.

My experiences were a couple of years ago and I was originally told the appraisal had been assigned and the rate would be $780 but then later I was told that appraiser was cancelled and they'd found someone else who it was assigned it for $935.

The second year we only spent $25,000, and achieved our original goals.  

My original plan was to buy 15-20 properties with REI if things went well. 

As luck would have it, his business had grown significantly, and he was now more eager than ever to acquire the land.He made me an offer 12 times higher than his original one—and well above market value.

Try being an agent, your phone number is EVERYWHERE and you get targeted by a whole industry that wants to sell you the latest gimmick.Here is what helped me.I answer calls and when it's a telemarketer I will interrupt them and say very friendly (because I don't hate the poor person who gets paid to do this and coached to be ruthless): Hey, so glad you called, can you do me a big favor? 

I appreciate your answers and advice in advance!
