I've got a message for Mr. Ladd and he's not going to like it (nor are you):
Sell that property for whatever you can get, and get OUT OF there.
It's not going to get better unless Mr. Trump wins. And even then, being so close to the border, you're gonna be in a war zone.
I don't care how many "generations back" your family's ownership goes.
Take the money and run... preferably north to Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, etc.
Again, chances are things aren't getting better where you are now.
And in all likelihood, they could get worse...
