Land in Northeastern Ohio is still a great investment.  Not only does land appreciate in value, it can also offer other revenues in the form of royalties from gas and/or oil production.   An oil or gas lease is a lease giving the lessee the right to extract oil and gas from the land.  Similar to a mining lease rather than a land lease, in that the lessee has ownership interest in a portion of the property ( oil and gas ) rather than just the use of the property.  The lessor is usually paid based on the oil and gas taken. What are royalties and how are they paid?    Royalties are an agreed upon percentage of the profits of the oil and/or gas.  Once the costs of the lessess's operations are deducted, the landowner receives a percentage.   In essence a royalty is a fraction or percentage o... 08/08/2010

What does the term "Land Locked" mean?  What is condemnation?   What is an easement?  What does encroachemt mean? Land locked refers to a parcel of land surrounded entirely by privately owned land, with no access to a public right of way  (road).  Condemnation for a limited access highway is a major cause of such parels.

  Some people believe  in haunted houses and cemeteries and some don't. Is it just your imagination or is it true? Are there ghost and spirits with us or is it the wind and the ground settling below us? In Madison we have and large old building that has been around since 1859 Maybe it is haunted maybe its not.  What I do know is I have been in this building( my fair share of times in the late 80's ) and it was quite the spooky place back then. When I was there it had high ceilings, paint flaking off the walls, big heavy doors that squeaked when you opened and shut them, and dark long hallways, and lots of strange sounds from other rooms...yes everything you need for a ghost to live in....  For years people been saying that Ohio Cottage was haunted and that a lot of people died in that b... 10/31/2009
