Also you can profit in different stages of development as you mentioned rezoned for it to be valued at $12.5mYou can add more value doing a combination of the following by reduction the time it takes to get building permitsSite Plan Approval , if applicable tree clearing, grading, connecting utilities, etc..Your land can be worth $20m by the time its shovel ready for a builder but I wouldn't market the land if its not site plan approved as that is where the value increases dramaticallyOr you can go ahead a build rentals and refinance an descent amount to pay all your debts and possibly retain some capital and still have steady monthly cash flow

A solid contract will protect you of course, but more than anything, it settles disputes and discrepancies before tempers flare, something you want to avoid with a relative.

In Kansas City we do not get that much snow I would say that you could count on shoveling at most 8-10 time a year not requiring $600 in annual cost.

Shovels the snow , etc .

There was only one way in and one way out so they must have used a pick axe, shovel and bucket to do it (why?

@Hong TranI have 10 SFR and they are all responsible for cutting grass and shoveling snow.  

If you self manage, like not shoveling snow, it's YOU, not the LLC at fault.

The law, the paperwork, and even title and escrow (if that’s how it’s done in FL), are the easy parts though.

So where does "Chris hired a bad snow shoveler or did not require shoveler to salt after shoveling" fall?

I grabbed me snake and a shovel and went to go see what was up.
