We don't offer owner-financing in house, but there are a couple of ways you can finance property on your own:1) Using a credit card. This will allow you to pay a monthly payment to the credit card company until it is paid off.2) Getting a personal loan. Many banks will lend $5,000-$10,000 (or more) as a personal loan or personal line of credit. Banks will not give Mortgages on small, cheap land because it's not profitable for them (they don't get enough interest to make it worth it.) Personal loans or lines of credit are usually the best way to take out a small loan.3) Paying with multiple cards. If you don't have the full amount in cash and would like to put just part of the purchase on a credit card, you can split the payment between multiple cards. We offer this option automatically for properties over $5,000 but if you need to split the payment for a smaller property, just contact us and let us know.
Zero. Every listing price is the full price, out the door. Even sales tax is already included. We do not charge Document Prep Fees or anything else. We do not like sleazy hidden expenses that most Real Estate companies charge.
For properties under $5,000: We take credit or debit cards.For properties over $5,000: Credit, debit, or direct bank payments (wire transfer). If paying by card, you will have the option to split the payments between multiple different cards.For properties over $30,000: Wire transfer or cashier's check (via Escrow).
No! You can feel free to drive by anytime as long as the property is still listed as available on our website. Please be respectful of neighbors, and remember that they may not realize we are selling the property as we do not have signs in the yard. You do not need to ask our permission to drive by, just go whenever is convenient for you.In each listing we provide a GPS Link which is roughly the center of the property, and corner coordinates which are the corners of the property. You can copy and paste the coordinates into Google Maps to see pins for each of the 4 corners.We also have LandID maps available for our properties, and can send you the link upon request. This allows you to see the property boundaries and your location pin at the same time, but you will need a smart phone to use it.
Most of our properties have not been surveyed, but if it has been we notate that in the specific listing.A property survey is not required by law, but there are certain times when it can be very useful. For example, if you would like to put up a fence along the border of your property, we recommend that you hire a surveyor first to make sure you're not encroaching on the neighbor's property. (A surveyor also puts stakes at all of the corners, which can be helpful for visualizing the boundary.)If you do not need to put up a fence immediately, then our GPS coordinates will give you a good idea of the property boundaries and can be sufficient for most general purposes.
We own property all over, so we are not able to meet every prospective buyer with the sale volume we handle. But we provide detailed GPS information in each listing and you're welcome to go look at anything we have listed. We're also available by phone and by email if you have questions about locating a property!
No, the properties are not landlocked. Each listing contains exact information about road access, location of the road access, and satellite pictures showing the road access to that particular property.
Nope! None. This is our business model.
Once the deed is in your name, you can call the county and ask them to assign an address to the property if they have not already. (It's sometimes called a "911 address" in rural areas).
Yes, it is!
Yes, you can! When you checkout we will ask for the name(s) you want on the deed and you will be able to enter whatever names you like.
In each specific listing we list everything we know about cell coverage, internet options, power, water, and road access!
Option #1: (CHEAPEST!) Set up a tote or a cistern, and haul water to the property. Totes: You can find 275 gallon totes (called IBC totes) for a few hundred dollars on Facebook Marketplace or Tractor Supply. Local RV parks or truck stops often let you fill them up for a small fee. (You can call local places to find the best option). You can even plumb multiple totes together if you want a bigger tank so that you don't have to fill up as often. Here is a link to Tractor Supply's totes. Cisterns: This is really just a fancy word for large tank. Cisterns are a good option if you want thousands of gallons instead of just a few hundred gallons. They are also usually made out of more durable material and will last longer. Here's an example of different cistern sizes and costs.Option #2: Water delivery.If you don't have a big truck, you can hire someone local to fill up a tote in the back of their truck and bring water to the property for you. (There are also water delivery companies that can bring huge truckload amounts of water, but this is going to cost a lot more, and they don't always service every area.) The best way to find someone to hire is to ask in local Facebook groups or local family-owned stores in the location where the property is located. Most people in rural areas have trucks, so networking and hiring locally is often the best bet.Option #3: Rainwater catchment.This is an excellent option if rainwater catchment is allowed. Not all states allow it. New Mexico and Arizona do allow it. The idea is to set up a gutter system on any roof you have on the property - this can be the main house, or just a shed, a carport, or even an RV roof. Here is a rainwater catchment example video from one of our favorite homesteading YouTube channels (Homesteadonomics).Option #4: Drilling a well. Well Drillers charge by the foot, so it can get very expensive in desert climates because they have to drill deep. Wells are typically many tens of thousands of dollars in the Southwest. The best way to proceed with well drilling is to get several quotes from local companies, and ask them what the local average depth is. Keep in mind that well drillers typically travel a 2-3 hour radius, so you can Google well drilling companies in other nearby counties.
Grid Power (power lines):Electric companies charge based on where the existing power lines are, and how far they have to run the lines to connect them to your property. The closer the lines, the cheaper it will be. If you Google "Power companies in such-and-such County" the local providers will be able to give you ballpark rate information.When we know that power lines are nearby, we notate that in the listing! If power is not close by, we highly recommend you consider solar power - it will be a much cheaper option, and you can have someone install it for you if you're not sure how to install it yourself.Solar Power:There are many companies that will design, build, and install solar systems for you. Contrary to popular belief, you can run anything off solar with enough panels and batteries, including Air Conditioning, gaming computers, etc. In each specific listing, we list Solar Companies that we know about in that particular area.
For rural properties, septic is your only option. Our listings are all rural.Septic cost depends on several factors. If you have a small house with only one bathroom, then the septic system will be smaller than if you have 4 bathrooms. There are also other factors, such as the size or location of the particular lot. We recommend Googling "Septic companies in ____ county" and contacting a few local septic companies to get an accurate estimate based on your exact needs.
