@Keith HefnerKeith this is absolutely positively NOT the case and I could provide several hundred settlement statements to prove it. 

I thought it was some monthly subscription (several hundred per month) based on the size of the area you buy.

Most of us know hundreds of people, they should ALL know you are a real estate professional.

I would start by spending several hundred hours learning real estate (books, podcast, forums) and once you do that spend several thousand hours learning a specific field.

My credit card only carries 9.2% APR but if I'm paying a hundred-ensome dollars in interest a month and hoping for $2-250/mo cash flow from rent, I'm eating into that hard until that credit card is paid off.I hope that's helpful and makes sense.

You will have to find a mill that does one off orders though as some only take bulk requests of hundreds of orders at a time or higher.Calling the local commercial appraiser familiar with your asset class directly makes sense.

I have done hundreds of wireless ground leases over the years and there are a lot of variables that go into determining how much you can hold out for.  

An inspector might charge you a few hundred bucks, but that is worth it when you consider you might end up having foundation work of several thousand dollars, wood rot, termites, even a roof issue.3.Don’t do the work yourself.

In most states it only costs a few hundred dollars a year to maintain an LLC and so long as you respect it as a being separate and apart from yourself, you should be able to shield your personal assets from any exposure and sleep better at night.
