I'll take what you said into account and apply it to my future ventures in investing! 

Businesses are reopening and more people are venturing outside as governments lift stay-at-home restrictions.

So your buying power with that cash probably acutally decreased over time if things inflated a fair amount. it's probably not a bad idea to own some gold and silver as a saftey net and side venture. 

Chances are, if this becomes a regular venture for you, you will need to pay quarterly tax estimates, which are taken into account when you file your annual tax return. 

You can do a land trust or GP or joint venture to keep overhead low.

@Stefan Huber hello and congrats on venturing out!

I know this post is more about Idaho, and I can say, I've visited every corner of the state, from my few years living in Spokane when I regularly spent weekends at Lake Coeur D' Alene to my drives up toward Sand Point and Bonners Ferry, and my ventures to Lewiston, Boise, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, and Twin Falls.

Weather it was a mistake you learned the hard way or tips you were told at the start of your investing venture. 

The capital performance is extremely poor, so we look to the other side of does equitable gains justify the venture, and of that I think you'd be lucky to experience an averaged 4% annual appreciable gains averaged over a 5-7yr span, at best.

@Richard Dee My very first note investments were 2nds in a joint venture in 2013.
