Hey I am planning to move down to that area. I lived in North Pole eight years when we were stationed in Fort Wayne right. I am now an over the road truck driver. I do not qualify for the land auction anymore but I can do over the counter. But my problem is is I need to hire someone who knows what they’re looking out to go out and look at the properties make sure they are suitable for building and will not be too hard to have a road built for access did they have some kind of trail system. I would gladly hire you for each property that I’m interested in to go out and look at it send me pictures etc. if you’re interested message me back and I will send you my phone number.
