There will always be somebody ready to take money from your pocket if you let them, past, present, future.
This discussion should start heading toward:
1. What questions should be asked to evaluate a developer.
2. What questions should be asked to evaluate a RE agent
3. What things should be considered (check list) to determine if a property is worth investing, buildable, and will suit your needs.I think it is the buyer’s responsibility to get informed and make good decisions. Scott, you could help (and often do) by providing the right check-list items. e.g. your book on investing in Costa Rica helped me start a check list. Thank you.
Bill Gale and Paragon are either going to offer you something better than in the past because of their experience, or their going to be able to take the shirt off your back and resell it. And very often it is probably going to be a matter of perception on your part. It is your responsibility to see the light. Do your homework.
Let’s all work together and stop blaming each other for what we are each ultimately responsible for.
My father bought a small parcel of land in the “Rotunda” in Florida for $5k in Lake Tahoe, CA and was given a bottle of champagne back in the 60’s I recently sold it for $8k and it is still unbuildable.
Good luck in your land search. Keep your eyes open.
