The appraisal portion we normally get varies depending on what the land is. In this case, a letter from your realtor stating that the land has a nominal value of "x" would suffice Remarkably, most appraisals of this type determine the land to be value at approximately 10 dollars. I would not be surprised if your appraisal was m the same ball park. If you need any additional information, please feel free to call. Keith ke~th R. Marvin. P E.
