vacant land doesn’t depreciate

Do you know that most of the wealth in America historically has been borne from those with the foresight to invest in Vacant Land?   And in the strictest sense, vacant land does not depreciate. Market values may lower it slightly and temporarily in value, but it has no inherent depreciating factor. I continue to tout one particular community in the Greater Orlando area to my favorite investors, as being the best place to invest your money.   If   95% off of original purchase price a mere few years ago, on a stunning lot in one of the premier, flagship communities of a major developer appeals to you, please contact me immediately.   A new owner is in the works for this phenomenal world-class amenities community. This community will come back.   A very small investment can reap you rewards, no doubt, in the future.   Please contact me immediately:   Dawn Deegan 407 488 8074 “Ownership, specifically ownership of land, was the basis of all the investment o...
