Please assist with the following problem:
You have the opportunity to buy a piece of land with your brother-in-law, Joseph Wheeler Dealer. The land can be purchased for $2,000,000 and Joseph is 100% positive that it can be sold for $2,900,000 in seven years. In fact, he will guarantee this sale price. As he says, "this is a no-brainer 50% return." What do you think the actual returns will be? The property is Miami-Dade County Florida and needs to be fenced. You might also need liability insurance. You can pay cash or finance the project. The cleanest assumption is to assume no debt. Do you have all the holding costs? Probably the best way to do this is with a short excel program.
