[ATV]

Has anyone taken a good ATV ride in Florida lately. Any new ATV tips that work best in Florida?

Mr. Bones reply was blocked by the picture...so i did not see his post...but it appears we share the same concern for that poor photographer...........And that is a SWEEEET pic.....LOL

NICE PIC!...I hope you didn't kill the photographer.....LOL

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there!

[PLEASE ALLOW THE RRPOA TO ISSUE A CONSERVATION EASEMENT TO THE PROPERTY]

One more thing: Should someone decide to purchase from a tax deed, or from any other seller for that matter PLEASE ALLOW THE RRPOA TO ISSUE A CONSERVATION EASEMENT TO THE PROPERTY. This does not take from ownership of the lot in anyway, shape or form. It simply gives the RRPOA the oppurtunity to help feed the animals and maintain roads for EMS. If anyone needs help with th Easement, feel free to PM me. Thanks, Marc

.........a big fatherly figure. I was told this is how to get river ranch property cheap!

For anyone wanting to buy into River Ranch cheap !

He said to go to the Polk County tax office and ask about the unpaid tax auctions. You can go to these auctions and bid on a full deed starting at $500. From what he says this is how mjlands gets their deeds cheap to break up and resell.

Full deeds (he says) go for around $900 to $1,300. He says he has inside info and mjlands usually pays only up to $1,000 for them.

Also, he said that someone here actually went to the Polk Country office and got a list of land owners at River Ranch that live out of the area. The thought is that they might never use it and be tired of paying for it and want to get rid of it. You send them all letters (just make copies of one and add names) offering to buy it. He says this person actually got multiple offers to sell them, and actually bought 2 deeds cheap. All you need is one person wanting to sell. They might have been left the property, or moved out of state since buying. It won't cost much , just some stamps and a little time to write a letter.

No longer do you need a land broker to sell you high priced 1/4 deeds, or a current member willing to sell you a part of theirs. Now bidding on ebay hoping for a quarter deed. Now you can buy in cheap and be able to set up your own camp!
All the stories about needing to know people to get in is just that.stories.

Do your homework and it'll save you thousands on a full deed! take in your quad and ride til your heart is content!

For those that are mad at this post, just remember it came straight from the inside 

I don't want to deter anyone from buying from mjlands, but I can't let such great intel go without sharing just like someone did with me.

Glad to see that you want to "help" people, but I just wanted to touch base on a few of the assumptions you have made about M & J Lands and RR in general:

   "From what he says this is how mjlands gets their deeds cheap to break up and resell."
Absolutely incorrect. We have on accasion purchased tax deed lots, but less than 5% of our purchases are made through tax deed sales. Tax deed sales are not the best piece of property to buy. You have to be aware of possible liens, reversals of purchase, be aware of the size of the lot you are bidding on, ect..So we shy away, although we have bought from them in the past. We prefer nice CLEAN deeds, free on a bunch of incorrect transfers. By the way, 1.25 acre lots CAN NOT be purchased for $900-$1000 anymore. I have seen them go as high as $4500, just depends on how many eBayers and other interested buyers show up and believe me there is ALWAYS interested buyers. It is not quite the piece of cake you make it out to be. Lets not go into the mistakes made by individuals who think they know how to add A PERSON, or transfer a deed only to find out from the county that it was incorrectly done. Just like you can go to Autozone and buy a new AC unit for your car and do some research and install the item yourself or you could just get a qualified mechanic to fix it, with a warranty, only in this case you are dealing with REAL ESTATE WITH A WARRANTY.

   "All the stories about needing to know people to get in is just that.stories."
I have not read, nor heard, that you need to know someone to get into River Ranch. I believe people may have said know who you are buying from....as it used to be easy to be taken advantage of.

   I believe your intent may have been good, but please do not bring us into the mix. We do provide a service and that service is needed or we would not be in business. Good luck at the sale! Thanks, Marc

Two words.....LET DOWN! That was the worse ending to a good series EVER. I guess I will run with the black screen as Tony get'n popped. I too called a friend to see if my cable went out.......

This is a bit legthy, but it was sent to me via email and it makes a lot more sense tand last years "Don't buy gas on Thursday" deal:


Remember also...Do Not Buy Citgo either since Chavez wants to put America under.



READ THIS AND DO THIS!!!!!

This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola
executive It came from one of his engineer buddies
who retired from Halliburton. It's worth your
consideration.

Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit
close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might
go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We
need to take some intelligent, united action.

Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes
MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain
day" campaign that was going around last April or May!
The oil companies just laughed at that because they
knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by
refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience
to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever
thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can
really work. Please read on and join with us!

By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at
about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently
$2.79 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the
oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us
to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at
$1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to
teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not
sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each
day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we
are going to see the price of gas come down is if we
hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their
gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How?

Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop
buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if
we all act together to force a price war.

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T
purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies
(which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not
selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their
prices. If they reduce their prices, the other
companies will have to follow suit. But to have an
impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon
and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now,
don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and
I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of
people!!

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us
send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and
those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =
3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches
the sixth group of people, we will have reached over
THREE MILLION consumers.

If those three million get excited and pass this on to
ten friends each, then 30 million people will have
been contacted! If it goes one level further, you
guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people.
That's all!
(If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million
and all you have to do is send this to 10 people....
Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician.
But I am so trust me on this one.) :-)

How long would all that take? If each of us sends

this
e-mail out to ten more people within one day of
receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be
contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you
didn't think you and I had that much potential, did
you! Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message
on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL
THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP
THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK

Does that mean that if you have a deed to a place not in the camping area that you can't camp there at all? That would make it like a day use area only ?

No. Right now campsites are not being distributed anyway about it. There is only temporary camping. The camping sections are just closer to the entrance, tend to be a bit higher evelated than some of the other property and that makes the property a bit better than the other 85% of the property that is located miles out into River Ranch. It is a bit tricky to fully understand how River ranch works and it can be better explained in verbal converstaion. I do not mean to confuse you and fell free to contact us. Thanks, Marc

Thanks KAT and RDJ. We sell premium parcels located within the established camping area. We do have cheaper parcels available. River Ranch encompasses aprox 111 sections within SE Polk County and only 6 of those sections make up the camping area. So needless to say the camping area is considered the premium property. Give us a call and we will see what we can do. Thanks, Marc - M & J Lands (863) 206-5358  email: sales@mjlands.com
