6. Andy purchased unimproved land near beaumont ( IA ) for $16,200 at an auction held on April 17, 1992. Described as Block 46, the property was adjacent to a modest prison rice farm owned by the Texas Department of Corrections (TDC). Andy bought the property based on a hunch that the TDC might someday wish to expand its Beaumont prison facility. In late 2017, the TDC contacted Andy and offered him $160,000 for Block 46. Andy countered with a selling price of $225,000. After prolonged negotiations, Andy and the TDC could not come to a mutually agreeable selling price. The TDC then threatened to condemn Block 46. After repeated threats of condemnation, Andy transferred the property to the TDC on June 28, 2018, for $180,000. On December 17, 2018, Andy reinvested $175,000 in vacant land located near Texas State University in San Marcos. Andy spent the remaining $5,000 on a vacation for him and Sarah to Hawaii in early 2019
