Florida has a rich shellfish population making the shell crackers big. Lime bottom etc. Seems that the shell crackers may hold the record around here. They are normally the biggest sunfish we catch, then bluegills. Florida is full of red belly's, they don't get as big but fight like a tiger. All good eating, I'm sure. Pan fish are the best. Bluegill and shell crackers around these parts. I've caught the same five or six bluegill and one bass in my brother's small pond time and time again. Could have named them by now. |

So the giant redear out here are due to the introduction of the quagga mussel. Fish probably not particular. Intro or native. Never noticed, does a Redear have beefier jaws ? |

The tree frogs nest in the bamboo by the groves. They fall out of the bamboo and the bass smash them. A gust of wind will knock them out of the bamboo and you will hear the frenzy of bass feeding on the poor rascals. There is a 10 pound bass(Doris) that will attack a fat 3 foot water snake if throw in that pond. got a Youtube of her darn near feeding on bream out of your hand. |

Self employment CAN be a source of freedom. Often it is worse than day job. If I come back in another life I would do real estate. But em, hold/divide em, finance em, and do as you will. Easiest money on Mom Earth. But yes, risky. I developed a formula a long time ago that works like a charm. I have never seen a real estate agent do it. Guessing investors do. It is simple. Look at property tax maps. Think geometry. Find a cheap 10 to 60 acres with limited access/narrow easement that have small road front lots between it and the govt. road. Purchase the back lot and the small front lot or two as needed via contingency closing. Using the added road frontage of the small lot divide the back lot into thirds or quarters for better ROW. Now you are selling 5-15 acre lots at a much higher price per acre. Resale. I have done this 5 times. I raised the per-acre-price 2 to 9 times. Waited a year to resale for long term cap gain. Use the agent that you bought it with to resale it. That agent will like you and help you find more such property. 5 times and batting 100%. The surveyor will like you too. More money in those 5 deal that 20 years doing plants. My home sits on 30 acres that cost only 20K after selling the front 13 acres of the original 43 acre purchase. 4 of the 5 properties were water front and had Native camps on them. Made sure the bulldozer grubbed the camps. 7 acres, 30 acres, 70 acres, 43 acres and 10 acres. It way reduces the risk. Target land that allows buyers 5-15 acre lots in the 50 to 150K range. A demographically safe number. |

Usually acquisition of more frontage is case specific to a particular property already purchased. The guy bought the property and now needs more frontage. The adjacent properties are not for sale or do not provide what he needs or has a home on it. In this case you are targeting(larger) properties that have limited road frontage therefore devaluating them based on their geometry. And specifically looking for said properties based on what properties are available to enhance their frontage for division into smaller lots. Acquiring road frontage unbeknownst to each land owner by performing similtanious closings contingent upon each other. The two neighboring land owners show up at the closing table and often recognize each other. Often times a land owner is at the mercy of the adjacent property owner in terms of price. The predetermined frontage arrangement is pre-designed and a double closing eliminates this issue. This method greatly reduces risk. Some agents don't even get it. Amazing how dense they can be. I don't tell them my motive. |

They marvel at it. But they don't pursue it. Whatever, I am perplexed by their nonchalant attitude. |

Whatever, I am perplexed by their nonchalant attitude. People of comfort don't work as hard. My new hire saleswoman completely kicked everyone's ass. She is hungry and not comfortable, at all. You are a rare beast. I respect that. |

You are a rare beast. I respect that. Conventionality is a trap. I can open a platt book and usually find 1 or 2 of these arrangements on every page. Page after page. Property with poor access usually have desperate owners. If I loved money I would do many of these deals. I value free time w/enough money to do a conservative lifestyle. I am lazy. |
