Rumors of Property Owners In The Southwest Buying Great Lakes Land
(Here's a story I was reminded of with the recent passage of the Great Lakes Compact)
Last Novemeber a company by the name of Asset Holding LLC based in Arizona sent letters to landowners in Chippewa county. My family received one of these letters. See: Officials advise owners to be wary of Arizona property “offers”
Then in Decemeber the same thing happened to property owners in northern Wisconsin. See: Asset Holding Preditory [sic] land purchase offers Scottsdale Arizona
Do not be fooled. The company doing this is trying to scam property owners. See: Beware of the Property Tax Lien Scams
It could just be a run-of-the-mill financial scam. But I've heard something else from people in the know. Another possibility is that it is a front to gain water-access rights to Great Lakes basin water. If people from the arid southwestern state of Arizona were to buy up waterfront properties in the upper Great Lakes then they may try to craft a legal argument for moving water from the Great Lakes to their property in the desert. Just a thought...
