6. Who owned the land around your house when you bought it?

My mom almost bought a home like yours, it was a cute home with a decent amount of property and no neighbors just wooded land around it. When my mom told me about it I told her she should find out who owns the surrounding property and see if she can buy that as well because eventually someone may develop on it. She asked the seller of the house if he knew who the owner was and the guy said he had no idea. So me and my mom did a little investigation which is not hard and found out the guy who was selling the house also owned the surrounding property. When my mom confronted the guy on it he admitted that he wanted to use the sale of the house for capital to develop the surrounding properties by building houses on them and selling them. This guy was total scum and I am glad my mom did not buy into his scheme because the location with no neighbors was the whole selling point.
