I was impressed when I saw this advertisement also. They have a property in Central Florida that I toured a few months ago. In theory the concept seems great, but once arrived realized it was more complex. I arrived to find approx 50 people were scheduled to tour together. They give the intro pitch, discussed potential, and then suggested to give a $2500 deposit to secure your parcel before even seeing it for yourself. Wasn’t required but said, it’s first come first serve, so if you see a parcel you like, make a deposit before someone else does. Granted it’s refundable if you decide not to go forward, but was odd nonetheless. There were only a few parcels that looked like they work for my needs so I looked at map of parcels available, chose what I thought looked like a good location, and paid my deposit. Then was lead with all others around the property to see the parcels available. The total compound had roughly 70 parcels and only 5-10 had been sold at the time. Most ranged from 7-10 acre parcels ranging between $200-$350k, which seemed reasonable enough until realized that most of the acreage wasn’t usable land, included a ton of wetlands (marsh areas) and had several restrictions put in place. No fences allowed to separate your parcel, can’t resell easily, and all in costs for land, small 2/3 bed home, would run you close to $900k and that’s before adding the ranchise for another $50k . I ran the numbers and decided it wasn’t the right for my needs. I do like the way the raise cattle, and would buy their products.. but not as a ranchise, simply ordering offline. Hope this helps give some insight to anyone considering.
