    Real estate commission lawsuit - changes coming!!?!?!

    I can tell you if it were not for my agent when I bought my house in Iowa several issues would not have come to light. The listing agent does not care about you. They want the property sold and a commission. That’s common sense. The piece I talked about in Dallas Co has been looked at twice...

    Real estate commission lawsuit - changes coming!!?!?!

    Years ago I was trying to buy a piece of land in Wayne County. I contacted the listing or sellers agent. I quickly realized my offer was never presented to the owner. The listing agent didn’t like my number. So, I acquired my own agent to ensure my offers and interests were looked after. I...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    I bought my primary residence and ground with it in Dallas Co. My straight rec ground is in SC Iowa. A little different ride than straight rec ground. I think I’ll be ok but who knows.

    Land prices / insane!!!

    You’re right but you can over do the what ifs. Paralysis by analysis. Land is still one of the most consistent investments out there. Of course you can’t see everything. No such thing as a sure thing. Look at Dallas County. The 4th fastest growing county in the nation. Those who have...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    I think larger tracts, 600ac plus, were established years ago when timber was considered garbage land. Many hunters want to own as much as possible but money limitations today with the crazy prices break up the tracts. Guys with the resources to own a bunch of acres are few. Add in that most...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    I’ll take that bet. You’ll never see 4k again. This isn’t the 1980 commodities crash. No comparison. Rec ground wasn’t a thing then. During the 08 crash, caused by Bill Clinton’s everyone should own a house even though they can’t afford it program that he began in 1995, rec ground held...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    Not rec ground. Most out of state rec ground buyers don’t give two hoots about grain prices one way or the other. Some do but most don’t. They’re not buying for crop production or rental. If they can make a few bucks great but they don’t care.

    Land prices / insane!!!

    Almost all of those points are normal issues. Not sure where one could buy a piece of property and not have those problems, except non land owners. Lol

    Land prices / insane!!!

    I’m originally from PA. Rec ground prices have never been 10k. In the county I’m from it’s presently 3k maybe , with many tracts less. There’s no 2 for 1. What drove your(our) numbers are the resident Iowa video stars that reached out nationally. Of course guys from the rest of the...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    I’m not super rich. I have money in the market, land and other places. It’s simply smart to diversify regardless of income level. I read the last two days or so on this thread and see a lot of “noise”. Stop over thinking and buy land when you can. You will not lose money, however, it’s a...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    I know a couple biz owners who mis spent ppp and the G came after them. I guess some slip through. Not enough resources to look at everyone.

    Coyote dogs and Private Land Deer Hunting.

    In my neighborhood I have some old school locals who say nothing when it comes to dogs. In the past we’ve had a few dog issues that simply got taken care of. Not saying I agree with the method but it works itself out with no conversation.

    How much are land consulting costs?

    In this country we intentionally make things overly complex with unique language, issues, remedies etc ,claiming that an expert in the field will show the way ie real estate, law, business, stocks and so on. That’s the marketplace. Our job is to wade through the bullshit and find real value...

    Vortex - lifetime warranty service

    Two archery seasons ago I used a vortex range finder in a driving all day rain, they fogged up. I called vortex and they told me to send them in for repair. Their response was sending me a new upgraded rangefinder. Awesome company.
