This wasn’t smooth, and it definitely didn’t go how I expected. I share what actually happened, what nearly caused the deal to fall apart, and the key lessons I learned that go way beyond just “negotiating.” If you’re thinking about buying land — especially rural or off-grid property — this is the real side of the process most people don’t talk about.
