Congrats huntall! Good luck with the new purchase! I hope to be in your position sooner than later. I suppose I could have made a play on my parents old property, but the way it was laid out with the river cutting it in half, the crappy neighbors, and the fact that the original seller lied to my dad and grandfather about the easement to the north half of the property and the fact that they trusted him and didn't bother to check with the ROD office to see if it was a legit easement, all were things that kept me from pulling the trigger. After the county put up berms to keep the high school kids from driving back there and tearing up the county land, it made it a half mile walk just to get to the land and made plotting that area next to impossible. So I guess keeping the "family property" just wasn't in the cards in my case. Which is ok because I didn't really like plotting in that d#mn sand anyway.
