FAQ’s
What About Due Diligence?
As with All Real Estate Transactions please use Due Diligence. Due Diligence includes but is NOT limited to the following:
- Physical Inspection of the Property
- Suitability of the property for the buyers intended usage.
- County Requirements for the properties intended usage.
- Buyer shall verify all GPS coordinates, if provided.
What Are Land Sale Contracts?
All parcels are being sold on a Contract for Deed (Land Sales Contract). The actual Title to each parcel will be conveyed to the Buyer only after the entire purchase price has been paid in full or any outstanding loan balance completely repaid. We elect this method to keep the price of our property as low as possible. Conveyance of Title does NOT hinder the buyer’s Full enjoyment of any property.
Do I Need Title Insurance?
Buyer may elect to purchase Title insurance on any property. Buyer may choose a Title Company that is acceptable to BOTH parties. Buyer is responsible for any and all costs associated with the title company, title insurance fees, closing fees, etc.
Are There Document Fees?
The Buyer will be required to pay $250 for the preparation of the contracts, deeds and other necessary documents, and includes the cost of submitting the deed for recording.
What are foreclosed properties?
A property is foreclosed upon when payments have not been received on an account for a certain period of time (usually 90 days). After a property is foreclosed upon, the property is prepared for sale once again and placed back on the site at a lower price, usually where the previous financier left off. These properties are often great investment deals to look for since they already have built-in equity.
Can I have the property surveyed?
You’re welcome to have your property surveyed. All properties on RealLandDeals are undeveloped, and most of them have not been surveyed. You can usually look up a local surveyor in your property’s area. Please keep in mind that RealLandDeals is not responsible for the costs for surveying a property.
Are mineral or water rights included with the property?
We cannot guarantee that we hold the mineral or water rights on any of our properties. Once a buyer has paid in full for a property, we will, upon request, include language in the deed that grants the buyer any rights we do own.
We don’t research mineral or water rights information prior to acquiring our properties. You can research whether mineral or water rights have been transferred to a property in several ways. You can visit the county assessor’s office to pull deed copies and research all of the past deeds on this property or look for property rights in the deed history through a title company. Most often, mineral rights were reserved way back when the property was originally platted.
What if I am unable to physically go to the property before purchasing it?
A lot of our buyers find it helpful to use the satellite map when they are unable to physically visit the property. The satellite map will allow you to see the terrain of the area the property, and it can sometimes provide a street view of the property itself. This map is located on the property page in the “Maps” section.
