I had a client in my office this morning.  He claims to have a friend that bought 300 acres of land in Las Vegas back in like 1950 or something for $7500.  It was way away from the casinos and complete undeveloped desert.  His friends called him crazy.  He claims he just heard from the guy and he turned down $150 million.  He thinks it will be worth much more down the road.  If it were me, it'd be SOLD!  Nobody lives forever...lol

Tony, tanks.

I would like to meet this guy. He's my kind of investor. He shows that he guts and vision.

Is that friend the guy who was in the news not that long ago who was farming the land or something and still turned down the money from the casinos? 

I always wondered why raw land got such a bad rap, when you can more than cover your costs by leasing the land to a farmer if it was so suited?

I don't know about buying land but I sure like to sell it. I don't have to worry about wallpaper, termites, staging or anything else that is in the way of selling homes. Either it meets the clients needs or it doesn't. Either they like it or they don't. Here in Georgia commissions on land usually run at 10% which is another good reason to work with folks that want to buy or sell land.

Thanks giys. It seems that we will have plenty of land to buy or sell because all the other agents are more concerned about CraigsList than land. That's OK by me. Yeah! 10% and no wallpaper to worry about.
