but the map is much larger than the copy here.

That's a really cool map Charles.    No doubt the owners will be happy with that product.

I think so. It seems a wast to create a lot without a building in that grass spot.

Wow that's some compositing to collate all those images.
An automatic process, though, is it?

Yes I guess it would be

Could be a developer already has exactly that in mind.

Yes. Today we did a Home Depot with over 900 images at angles and it makes a 3D model.

Some of the maps made are dozens of acres.

They have been leasing the lot for trucks in the past.

That's a sophisticated piece of kit

Nicely done Charles.

This one ( The Mavic 3 Enterprise has paid for itself a few times over. I thought it was expensive when I purchased it, but it's a workhorse. It's fast and efficient. It does automated flights well.

I'm happy. with it. Yesterday it did 28 flights at Home Depot and performed flawlessly.

BetterBizTech Posted at 10-9 02:52

You're very welcome.

It is. Thanks. They make a good product every time.

Good bye trucks, welcome a new building of some sorts.

That would be good.

Only time will tell what gets built there.

We will see. Something will go up sooner or later.

With little land left I'm sure something will get built there sooner or later.  I guess the landowner can afford to hold out to get his price.

There is an investor down here that I know very well that bought a corner lot where a gas station was.  He had the tanks and building removed.  This lot sat vacant for 3 years as the guy was asking 1.3M dollars and nobody would pay that amount.  A new bank to the area came in and paid him his asking price. As it was an unimproved lot his annual property taxes were very minimal.  So by holding out he got his asking price and according to him he made a 64% profit.

The stubborn landowner eventually gets paid.

Yes, and definitely not a bad profit for holding out for his asking price.

You can't argue with success.

No you sure can't.  This guy is a multimillionaire at least 10 times over but is the worst tipper in the world.  I had lunch with him about 6 months ago and he wasn't going to even leave a tip so I left one to cover both of us.

I know plenty of investors that would make you laugh. I know two brothers that will share a kids burger to save money on lunch.

Very eccentric behavior for sure.

They claim that they stay trim and save money.

I was in the Dominican Republic with him to look at some real estate. I threw the host a $20 bill and he was so grateful. He said it would help his family for a month. I felt good that I could do that and he told me I was spoiling things because he was giving out quarters as tips.  He got a kick out of saving tip money.

What are they saving money for?  You can't take it to your grave at least not in Florida.

"You'll never see a U-Haul behind a hearse" is a phrase that conveys the idea that worldly possessions are not what you can take with you after death.  I guess somebody saw one and captured the image.

That's funny. I never heard that saying.

When I went down there it was more than 10 years ago. Skilled labor was making $1 per hour. Wherever we went we had an armed bodyguard with us.
