I flew up to Boise for three nights. I stayed downtown and it was a pretty cool area. Decent restaurant and bar scene. BSU is nearby and provided plenty of talent to look at.

Re: plans for the long weekend?
Marina bait shop and small restaurant are open. Bar will be open by July 4.
No shows yet.
I saw Steely Dan there about 15 years ago. Off the hook venue.

i invested in a private golf course that was being built there. then the crash hit and it fell apart. they had the course basically cut in and all the dirt moved. would have been a great place.Charliesheen wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 2:13 amMarina bait shop and small restaurant are open.

Re: plans for the long weekend?
there should be some kind of law to require transparency to show how much skin a developer has in the game. i bet the % of developments that go bust would be a direct correlation to that.

Re: plans for the long weekend?
I'm thinking this was during the time loans were falling put of the sky, so nobody had skin in anything. Probably.
Developers probably got all the financing on the project they could and defaulted. Buyers with deposits got screwed in a bunch of "under construction projects" once the faucet was shut off. They start selling deposits on parcels/docks/lots the minute the escrow closes and even before planning is finaled. Way before most construction started.
What is the real story pork?

Re: plans for the long weekend?
It sounds to me that Pork's deal was purely as an investor. The developer puts up zero money and gets investors to seed the project based on his drawings and sales pitch and his charts showing the ROR. For these scam jobs the ROR is usually around 30%. Then the developer takes the cash he raises and goes to the bank and uses the cash and the asset value of the land to finance the project. The developer takes a percentage of the deal at no charge and divies up percentages to the investors based on how much they put in cash. The developer usually charges the "project" a huge up front fee to manage the job. Then, if it goes tits up he's already gotten a huge dose of cash, the bank has the land as collateral and the investors all just shake their heads and blame the economy.Burn1dwn wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 3:40 pmI'm thinking this was during the time loans were falling put of the sky, so nobody had skin in anything.

Re: plans for the long weekend?
its a long story but the short version is that it was a private money deal. the developer had money in the deal but it was leveraged off of other projects and the seller of the land had a non arms length deal with the developer on it so it was basically a small cash investment for the developer. once he got enough work done he hit a few stages of capital draws and split. my guess is that he drew 4 million or so and let the project go into foreclosure and no one wanted a golf course after 2008. i bet its still just sitting and some one is stuck with it or its now a pot farmBurn1dwn wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 3:40 pmI'm thinking this was during the time loans were falling put of the sky, so nobody had skin in anything.

Re: plans for the long weekend?
i think that the guy that usually gets burned the worst on those is the one that owns the land. Usually that guy has 2 choices. Either sell the land at $10,000 an acre to the developer and walk away, or the developer will offer him a part of the deal which can double his money. The land owner puts the land up as his "investment" to the LLC and then gets a share that on paper looks like double the price of the land in the first place. However, no cash traded hands. Then the developer can use the land value to collateralize a cash loan from the bank.pork wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 4:01 pmits a long story but the short version is that it was a private money deal. the developer had money in the deal but it was leveraged off of other projects and the seller of the land had a non arms length deal with the developer on it so it was basically a small cash investment for the developer. once he got enough work done he hit a few stages of capital draws and split. my guess is that he drew 4 million or so and let the project go into foreclosure and no one wanted a golf course after 2008. i bet its still just sitting and some one is stuck with it or its now a pot farmBurn1dwn wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 3:40 pmI'm thinking this was during the time loans were falling put of the sky, so nobody had skin in anything.

Re: plans for the long weekend?
but that's the thing. usually the bank ends up with the land.
there is a developer that i work with quite a lot and he is always trying to get me to invest. over the last 30 years i think i have done 2 deals. one i never got a dime and the other i barely got break even. There is always some reason for it. But i learened over the years that i make a ton on the constructin work, so that's all i want anymore. The rest of it is just hocus pocus work that is completely controlled by the developer. The people make however much money he allows them to make, and that's if the deal turns out good.

I’ll bet somebody planted it. Lake County is in the midst of a wine grape land rush.
Check out the size of this bastard:
Doesn’t do it justice. That’s a Central Valley sized vineyard typically used for table grapes or bulk wine.

Re: plans for the long weekend?
i havent done one since. the biggest mistake of my life was taking on a construction project in 2000. it took 5 years and a bunch of lawsuits and it cost me about everything. instead of making millions i lost multiple millions just on the market move not including lawyers fees and carrying costs. its the single worst thing i have ever done in my life and i have had some bad ones./Animal wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 4:44 pmbut that's the thing. usually the bank ends up with the land.
