Last year, a r/e broker friend of mine asked me if I could stop by some 
places in NM he had come across that weren't out of my way on a trip he found 
out I was making.  They were beautiful in the photos and in person, fantastic 
price too....  Fortunately, I ran out of gas and stopped at a local station 
and while paying for fuel noticed a local newspaper and the headline.  There 
was a very serious issue regarding water - thanks to the fearless government 
leaders (a let's steal water from this area here where there aren't so many 
people and ship it over to here....).  I engaged the gas station owned in 
conversation, and boy did I learn a lot - the area is being devastated.
 
Check political issues affecting areas too.
 
Up in Wisconsin where my family had a farm, besides the Big Ag aspects that 
affected the small farmer,,,,, the local township government killed off the 
rest of the local farming.  Much of the northwoods land there, which was very 
productive for crops, cows, etc., that was painfully cleared by hand & horse 
long ago, is reverting back to forest land.

“All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. 
People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, 
and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. 
Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder 
respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” ~ George 
Orwell

I heard about this on the radio this afternoon, 40 acres by Moses 
Lake Washington, $30k, the first URL quotes a lower price and the 
second URL quotes what I heard on the radio.

http://www.americanlandandranches.com/AmericanLandandRanches/eagle-springs/eagle-springs.html

and here it is again with a different price 
http://www.therealestatehomeguide.com/specials/?specialid=38

I'm passing this info on as there might be someone interested in this 
but it does strike me as odd.

You now know as much as I do about this.

Back when I was doing this sort of thing, I had several irons in the fire.
Most of my income came from home repair.  I had an add in a local paper for
handyman services that lead to several good contacts.  I fixed a lot of
doors and light switches but along the way picked up a few jobs for things
like a stair railing, mantle piece, and cabinets.  I knew a couple of home
inspectors and they sent some jobs my way that in turn lead to some other
commissions.

I also knew the owner of a local stained glass shop who had me do several
jobs installing stained glass and I built several frames.  I was at the time
a member of several Corvair clubs and let everyone know what I was doing and
picked up several jobs that way.  People like to hire someone they know.

I also did other things like welding, computer installs, and whatever I
thought I could get away with.

It was not a lot of money and was not at all steady but I enjoyed it.
