Re: [IRCA] Patrick's DX Heaven

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Dennis,
 
     Thanks for the link to the listing for the 40  acres near the ocean at 
Queets, WA, for $119,500.  It sounds like a  real bargain, but as a real estate 
broker, I can assure you that there is a  hidden story here.
 
     If 1,512 people have viewed the listing and  there are no takers yet, 
you can safely assume that the property has a serious  issue.  My own guess is 
that the Tribal Government has placed severe  restrictions on development of 
the parcel, possibly even forbidding  it.  Also, with property taxes of $63 a 
year, I would be curious about what  services, if any, the Quinault Nation 
provides for my $63 ( fire,  police, roads, etc.)
 
     After meeting Patrick last month, I have been  watching the listings of 
acreage near the ocean, and have discovered that  there are indeed some 
bargains to be found, especially when we  are accustomed to $500,000 houses in Puget 
Sound... but then again, life is  always a series of compromises, and it 
would be tough to move a family to the  beach, simply because of a desire to DX 
(as I'm sure you know!). 
 
                                                                              
 73,  Gary
