I spoke with a Surveyor in ND a couple of weeks ago and got on the subject of the boom.
His observations: Crime is skyrocketing by “normal” standards for the area.
Convenience store friend of his pre boom was averaging 1.5 milion/year in revenue. He’s sold $3.5 million in Pizza alone since the first of the year.
No hotel rooms available for 150 miles.
Another friend bought land and put in a campground, bought 50 camping trailers and is renting them out. He’ll break even in 3 years.
RE land and campground - What has happened to property values? Are there still such opportunities?
