Striker, besides going back to the Forums' previous pages for related topics, I recommend Linda Shaffer at Century 21. She can be linked-to either from the Lake Martin home-page for Amy Banks, or, directly via www.lindashaffer.com.

I was in the same boat a couple years ago. Linda helped with both the purchase and sale of my lot. Only improvements was a clay/gravel driveway, some excavation, and a seawall. All work performed by Lake Martin Dock Company (excellent work). I was also planning on building a vacation home in a few years with the dock to be going-in this year then the "cabin" next year. Fortunately and gratefully (yes, it was for the better), my lifes' direction took a turn that required more attention on the homefront, thus, sold the lot a little after a year and Linda was exceptional with her assistance.

Some advice:
- found the east-side better, purely from the travelling aspect. Driving from Georgia, found The Harbors off 90 (280 to 50 to 90), just above Marin Estates. If I lived more on the west-side, e.g., B'ham, probably would've bought more towards that side of the lake. Travelling around the lake will take time so consider how often you'll be frrequenting the area and the drive-time.
- even though you trying to find a lot for more of a long-term investment, per se, interview the realtors. They are working for you so you should find the one who you feel will do the best for you.
- definitely stay on this Forum. Amazing how much info you find-out, and, its one of the most active I've seen.
