@Sam Jones I assume you mean she owns a property and you would potentially buy it.It's irrelevant that she wants to do seller financing - what matters is whether she has an attractive, investable property and is willing to sell at a reasonable price.The tail shouldn't wag the dog.

It becomes particularly attractive when you can find good long term tenants. 

I know the city manager of Celina who has done a good job attracting businesses.  

It’s starting to come to life and is attracting a hipster crowd (good news!).

By that point, it wasn't such an attractive option.  

Open to seller financing as well- the better the area/school district, the more attractive the deal.

However, it does have a nice pond on it that may provide for an attractive site for some development once the land is cleared off.My question is in regard to the bank note needed to buy the land and the bank's interest in the timber.

Its a job / population growth story w/ a lot of diverse industries and good quality of life at a reasonable cost that will continue to attract businesses to move here.  

They are simply there just as a way to keep you attracted to their site!

If a community cannot attract owners they have a major problem they need to solve or they need to sell the community to someone who can fix the problem.
