So the bad news.  Seller's realtor contacted mine, who repeated this to me: "Agent said the chances of this property being sold without involving litigation is very slim, and more like none.".  

Heirs.  This is the problem and likely not to go away anytime soon. I was offered to end the contract and get my earnest money back or - wait indefinitely for something that may never happen.   

As much as I hated to do it, I terminated the contract.  I don't have until the second of never to get something going.  I love that property, but I had to let it go.  It was at least agreed that if this seller ever does get this stuff taken care of, we'd be the first to know before it gets put in the MLS for public acquisition.  

So here I am, after all of this, back at literally square one.  I've accomplished absolutely nothing in all of this time, other than to secure a land loan that I can't use.  

The property I was interested in looking at today (it's 1:30 am, later on today I was going to to look at it, it just came online a few days ago)?  It's already sold.  

Am I being given a sign that I shouldn't even be trying this?  I mean, I am running into dead ends at every turn.  The only thing that was encouraging is the land loan going through - albeit with quite a lot of ordeal, it's there, it's available.  

I dunno what's going on. I"m going to try and get that 2.2 acres coming up in a few days.  It would make a great "parking lot RV park", where you just cram them in there and they pay you and they - don't seem to mind. Or if they do,  they chose to come in and park.  It's prime property, it's north of 2 other RV parks and therefore, before you get to them off the Interstate.  

I mean, you really can't do a lot with 2 acres for that kind of setup.  I don't want to get too far into talking about that property, because it might go away - be withdrawn - or it will get bid too high.  Who knows, but I doubt I'm the only one that understands that the location is pretty good.  

I've had thoughts, even, about buying the 8 acres I was originally going to buy and just run with it, live gas well and all.  

There aren't many properties that would be suitable that are available and they are well over priced.  And have been sitting up for sale for very long periods of time because of it.  There are plenty of buyers out there - that's obvious whenever a good property comes up, it's gone quickly.  

Running out of time.  A property has to be closed on before the 90 day period for the loan - before I have to go through all of that again.  

I uhh, don't know now what to do.  I think people might take all of this dead ends as a sign to stop, do something else, just keep working, give up.  But the thing that keeps me going, that makes me not want to stop is the idea that I do not want to keep on trucking forever.  But that's exactly what I'd have to do if I don't find something different.  

I'm kind of at a loss here.  Is the Lord simply not in this endeavor?  Or am I just being held up for the right property?  Or...what.....

I have no idea.  Wish I had the answers - I simply don't.  

I think I'll find the resolve to simply continue on this seemingly endless search for a suitable property.  There are a couple of places I haven't seen yet except through satellite - didn't look too promising from that view but, now that I'm back to nothing, I'm going to go take a look and probably tomorrow....uhh, later on today. 

It's late. 

Some sleep might help.
