Hi @Patrick Britton I've been enjoying following your posts.My main niche is Snohomish county farm and rural acreage, in order to "clip off" and sell the valuable Transferable Development Rights credits that I can harvest from it, without substantially reducing the value of the land.

Quote from @Daniel Rabinov: While I appreciate all the brokers pushing their market here, it would be nice to get some investor opinion on the matter as well.A lot of people are saying the Columbus and Ohio are over saturated and over harvested already and it's nearly impossible to find good deals.

I rank websites high on google (my websites) and harvest leads on a daily (hourly?)

@Edgar Avila I echo what Marcus Auerbachsaid as that's my philosophy as well.I listened to a BP podcast recently in which the wholesaler said that he has a list with 900 buyers, but, only five, yes 5 or those actually buy all his deals.So, go out and bring those killer deals to the table and you will harvest a ready made buyers list....guaranteed!
