Unfortunately, I have only had time to fish one time for about an hour while testing the fishing on a piece of property I was interested in. The fishing was okay, however, I didn't like the look and feel of the creek's softer dark soil, so I moved on.
The rest of my time has been spent on Zillow, driving, exploring land, looking at flood reports, calling PUDs for estimates, and putting in offers.
I got stuck in the mud 4 times now out in rural areas. 3 of those times I was fortunate enough to quickly find someone with a big 4-wheel drive and chains.
One time, I had to dig and lay branches to get unstuck. My poor Wife gets nervous thinking I'm going to tip over the van each time.
It's frustrating buying riverfront, just when you think you found the perfect place and then you find out there's an issue such as flooding, you can't build or it's impractical to get power or access.
I'll be up at 4 a.m. and see a great deal on something perfect that just came on the market within hours. I know it's going to go fast so I call up super early to put in an offer and somehow they are already pending(probably a neighbor or something who knows the sellers) I missed out on some good opportunities. Stuff I know is worth 30%-50% above asking.
