Glen Campbell owns a small office building adjacent to an airport. He acquired the property 10 years ago at a
total cost of $608,000—that is, $70,000 for the land and $538,000 for the building. He has just received an
offer from a realty company that wants to purchase the property; however, the property has been a good
source of income over the years, and so Campbell is unsure whether he should keep it or sell it. His

building can be rented for another…

The property included 120 acres of undeveloped land on which there was a small lake plus three acres that included a beautiful farmhouse and a few barns. At first, Pat had only been interested in the undeveloped land. However, rather than sell the 120 acres of undeveloped land to Pat for $800,000, the original owner was only interested in selling the entire estate, for $1,100,000. Pat quickly agreed to the counterproposal, and after the deal had closed, Pat immediately went to work improving Elysian Fields. Pat obtained approval to subdivide the land into 60 two-acre plots and the three-acre farmhouse lot. Pat was quickly able to sell the three-acre farmhouse lot for $300,000.
