Glen my brother,

Deep Gratitude
First and foremost, thanks! You've been a tremendous source of strength and support throughout this time and I'm profoundly grateful to you. You walked through some of the darkest days of my life with me and I'm not sure I would have made it though with out you. No matter what ultimately comes of the discussions we now embark upon, know that I'm forever grateful for the positive impact you've had in my life.

Property Discussion
You will likely have questions regarding the specifics, but I'm hoping to include a good bit of info here to provide some context about this property. I've put a great deal of thought into how we can create a mutually beneficial arrangement. No bullshitting or fluff. I just cut straight to the best offer I could manage and I hope it aligns with your goals.
3
Open Collaboration
I'm sure improvements can be made to the structure I've come up with and I'm 100% open to exploring any potential paths towards collaboration with you. Hopefully I've created a solid base of info to serve as a foundation for us to build on.
*Of course, all pics and vids are from the ranch.

Rising Land Values & Real Estate Undervaluation

Cloud Forest real estate remains highly undervalued compared to the abundance of natural resources, optimal climate and vibrant agriculture capabilities.

Outright Purchase Option w/ Immediate ROI
Adding acreage developed, income producing property to your portfolio for the cost of unimproved/raw land captures a significant and immediate ROI. Not to mention a rad neighbor 😂 & the security of owning tranquil off grid property in the sovereign territories of an endangered cloud forest designated as one of the primary sacred sites - some say portal - of the ancient Maya.
Buy Back in Part or Whole Option
Urgent circumstances force this immediate sale. However, since I love this property & know the actual value of it is far above what I'm forced to sell it at now, I would happily buy some or all of the land back from you over time. This could be a fluid conversation that includes profit sharing into perpetuity on a variety of potential income generation ventures on the property.
Debt Equity Swap Option
If you prefer, we can execute a Debt Equity Swap/Promissory Note with all the same pricing as the sale but shifting from outright purchase to more of a loan with 3-5 year repayment horizon & mutually agreed upon rate. The title deed of real estate would collateralize this arrangement.
Business Partnership Option
We could intentionally set forth on a plan of action to execute one or more of the income generation methods described above, or perhaps another not yet thought of. Regardless of the vehicle, there are myriad ways that this property can be leveraged for tremendous financial gain, as well as exponential yields beyond money.
Giving Back
It has long been a dream of mine to build a science center and vocational training center for the indigenous children who've never been given the opportunity to explore science, astronomy, physics, chemistry, etc… Focusing on providing the best tools, technologies, best practices, experiments & practical applications that immediately improve the lives of the indigenous communities.

Who knows? The next Einstein could be an indigenous Mayan kid just waiting for access to knowledge and tools to cure and solve the problems of the world.
And if not the world, at least they will have a place to tangibly experiment with improving their own skills & way of life.
An outdoor 'theater' with simple projector of the side of the science center wall could facilitate educational films in Tzotzil and other indigenous dialects on permaculture and other topics.
Of course a soccer field or other recreational elements would be a nice addition eventually.
In the end Glen, no matter where this JOYney takes us,
I consider it an honor to explore it with you, brother. 👊
