  3. Doe Valley • What happened? • The largest owner of vacant lots, has been selling lots at below market prices. • At the same time the POA has also legally reclaimed from delinquent dues payers • This glut of lots for sale has pushed prices to historic lows

  4. Doe Valley • What happened? • Causing two unintended consequences: • One is buying and then legally combining the lots with adjoining property. • The other consequence is that other real estate investors who hold multiple lots have stopped paying their dues

  5. Doe Valley • What happened? • In total, the number of 2nd lots producing dues revenue fell from 620 to only 183 in the span of one year. • This is the main cause of the unexpected loss of more than $120,000 from our operating budget.
