Wow that's very interesting data and definitely some surprises on that list.

Why not phone the city and ask them who to talk to? 

Look at similar land listings with realtors.  

How often does a property is being listed withing same HOA and price trend. 

For each listing/seller client, call your database to spread the word... call other homeowners nearby to ask, "Who do you know that is looking to make a move to the area.".. 

depends when you sell. talk to a 1031 expert. what matters is intent. if you bought it to sell for profit then yes you'll pay your normal tax rate. if it is for investment and you can prove that you can 1031 exchange

Cool list.

Talk to your local bank/credit union first to see if they do such a things.

Would you mind talk me through the process a bit after the appeal is initiated?

I hope that helps  thats cool just sounded like both of you folks were saying the exact same thing.. so you know BP sometimes has people shilling for their boss etc.. its used to be one would have to mention a business relationship with the person your talking about so people put it in  context.
