LOOKING FOR LAND

At 9 AM, he met with the realtor. Local guy. Had lived there all his life. Showed him a log Condo that he could buy for the interim. Price $175,000. Yes, he could resell it with no problem. Even with all the foreclosures. Sure. There are no foreclosures here. Then he showed him 22 acres on a hill just outside of Radford for $250,000 and the owner would build a road to he house site. He would have to put in a well. Yes, he would find water. It might cost $40,000 to find it but he would find it. Yes, the land perked. He could divide the lot into two-acre particles that he could sell for $125,000 each. No problem. Even in a bad economy. This is good land. You will get 22 acres of land free. Great deal. He dropped him off at the Inn of Virginia Tech around noon. He called his wife and then began to explore the territory by himself. So many choices. Beautiful land. Great climate. Moving is scary.
