THE ARTICLE THAT WAS SO KINDLY POSTED CLEARLY STATES THAT THE COUNTY/TOWNSHIP WILL NOT INVOKE EMINENT DOMAIN AND THE TOWNSHIP LEADERS HAVE STATED THEIR VOTE IS TO HAVE THE PROPERTY REMAIN A FARM. THEREFORE, THE DECISION IS ENTIRELY UP TO WHO EVER OWNS THE FARM---IT WOULD BE VERY TOUGH TO TURN DOWN $35 MILLION BUT TRUTHFULLY THERE IS AN ALTERNATE WAY FOR THESE FOLKS TO GO.
IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS PROPERTY IS IN A VERY VALUABLE AREA AS AN OFFER OF $35 MILLION IS CRAZY. THIS IS A TRANSACTION WHERE THE FARM COULD KEEP THE PROPERTY AND STILL RECEIVE VALUE IN EXCESS OF $35 MILLION AND ANNUAL CASH FLOW IN EXCESS OF $3.5 MILLION /YEAR PLUS THE FARM PROFITS (IF IT IS PROFITABLE AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY FACTS).
IN FACT THE HORSEMEN (OR ANY GROUP FOR THAT MATTER) COULD PUT TOGETHER A DEAL TO PURCHASE THIS COMPLEX FOR $35 MILLION AND TURN IT INTO A MIN-REIT. SERIOUSLY, THERE WOULD BE LIQUIDITY AND YIELD AS WELL AS UPSIDE. THIS IS NOT A DIFFICULT TRANSACTION AND I AM 100% SURE THIS COULD BE DONE DEPENDING ON THE BUYERS---THIS COULD BE DONE.
IF IT IS WORTH $35 MILLION TODAY--WHAT IS IT WORTH 20 OR 30 YEARS FROM NOW. IF THERE IS STALL SHORTGAGE IN THE AREA----WHAT COULD BE CHARGED PER STALL? COST? BALANCE SHEET--P & L.
I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT WHERE THERE IS THE WILL TO DO SOMETHING THERE IS A WAY TO GET IT DONE.
