Today is another AMA episode (Ask Me Anything). Today's question comes from Collins

\\n

I\\u2019m the owner of a nice property on one of the main highways in an area of south Alabama that has sustained steady growth over the last 30 years.

\\n

In fact, the city recently placed a year long moratorium on development. I saw this time as an opportunity to achieve favorable zoning and have my land packaged for any would be purchasers or developers.

\\n

I am a \\u201cland dealer\\u201d in the IRS\\u2019s eyes so I\\u2019m taxed at ordinary business income levels on land sales\\u2026 furthermore, a 1031 exchange is also not applicable to the circumstances on this property, and I\\u2019d rather not take the tax hit on an outright sale.

\\n

The restaurant chain, Five Guys, purchased a failed Pizza Hut not far from this location and they have signed a longterm ground lease with favorable payments and escalation clauses for the landowner.

\\n

Which leads me to my question\\u2026rather than going through the top 10 google results\\u2026 how can I identify companies who may be inclined to enter a ground lease with me as the owner so I can create a stream of longterm recurring revenue? (LRR)
