Does anyone know if they actually had the money required for the purchase?
It was Bo's purchase only, I can't speak for his financial status, but I do know that he has always been very conservative and smart with his money. The Lava Tour Service was his bright idea, also his own. There had been talk about organic farming, but when I spoke with my Brother about this, I got the impression that it would be a personal farm, for supporting their nutritional needs only. My Brother was a master of hydroponics and knew how to grow. It wasn't supposed to be a grand organic farm, but more of a simple bed of soil above the lava. I had also talked with Bo about starting a small coconut oil and butter business. It wasn't necessarily serious, just another possibility of what could be done with the resources down there. Back to the money required for the purchase, he was prepared for the closing of the sale for the property on 28 May 2013.
