Last semester I went from feeling like I was going to fail to understanding the material in one day. BTW, that wasn't studying for one day. After several days of studying and feeling like I was going nowhere it finally just clicked.
If you're putting in the effort you'll get there soon.

You wanted a practice property question? Here is a short one:
James, a client of yours, owns two acres of land, Lots 1 and 2, on a mountainside. The two lots are contiguous, and Oscar lives in his house on Lot 1, which is higher in elevation than Lot 2. James is low on cash, so he is willing to sell Lot 2, but ONLY if he is certain that the future owner of Lot 2 will not do anything to impair the view from James' house looking out over the trees on Lot 2.
What are the options available to James, and what advice would you give him concerning each option?

James, get a covenant brah.

However, he would have to be careful of potential adverse possessors of the property. This would be the most advisable for protecting the view, however James would likely not receive a great amount of income.
2) James could sell the land as a Fee Simple Determinable with the possibility of reverter if the land is built upon or if the builders are higher than "x" height which would obstruct his view. He may also do so with a Fee Simple Subject to Condition Subsequent, retaining a Right of Entry if they build in a way that obstructs his view. This could be desirable to James because he would retain a reversionary interest if his view was blocked, preventing further action for the buyers while retaining the purchase price, however he may not command as high of a price as would a FSA with a covenant.

He could also use a straw to record a negative easement w/lot 2 as the servient property to lot 1 as the dominant property prior to sale, if the JDX recognizes negative easements.
I guess the easement would be superior since the property interest would be definitively transferred to lot 1, whereas the real covenant might be invalidated at some point down the line if a court determines that the covenant is deemed to no longer touch and concern due to changed circumstances. Either could result in a reciprocal negative easement being implied on lot 1, right?

It took them an hour to get the real one.
