In this short dialogue, two speakers dissect why two previous investors—CRG, which spent $2 million, and Placo, which had $15 million in escrow—abandoned a potential industrial‑land acquisition. They pinpoint unrealistic cost‑plus‑interest‑plus‑rent assumptions and a lopsided risk structure where the seller demands zero risk while the buyer would bear all. The speakers assess the current valuation at roughly $5 million, noting comparable land sells for about $1 million per acre, and conclude the deal is unfair. Their negotiation strategy is to clearly communicate that they will not assume all risk and to invite the seller to consider other offers.
