Spring Weddings & Sunny Land Sales

2012-02-12T14:26:00.000-08:00

Spring weddings are the epitome of a fresh start. The most popular time to embrace a new life is when new flowers start to bloom from under the cold, melted blanket of a snowy, slippery winter. And, too, it’s when the sun seems to shine a little brighter, and the sound of children playing outside resonates throughout the neighborhoods that the sentiment for family becomes the most memorable for some. So, it’s no surprise that many a bride have been spotted sealing their union to their groom with a kiss under a magnolia tree in the church courtyard, or by a lake at the local park. Surely, that day is unforgettable. However, getting to that point is always a different story.

Of one of the many things that people need when planning a wedding, money is at the very top of the list. And that’s because, during this process, everything costs something. From small, intimate weddings to platinum weddings, there is a cost for even the minimal things. That is, the marriage license, the wedding officiator, a venue with seating, the wedding rings, the tux, and—you guessed it—the WEDDING DRESS! And though these things are easily attainable for some people, what do you do if you don’t have enough money to purchase what’s absolutely necessary and (not to mention) all of the extras?

Well, the first thing you must do is keep calm. TRY NOT TO PANIC. And if you’re a land owner of raw land, you should know that you have a sellable asset that you can gain a profit from in a short amount of time. Yes, it’s true. Raw land sales to private land investors can increase you with a cash profit in as little as seven days. Typically, according to the current national rate, a land investor can potentially offer you between 5% and 25% of the fair market value of your land if you are looking to sell. And, also, with a guaranteed quick closing comes the added benefit of your debts on the land being paid off on your behalf at the finalization of the sale. Overall, that means no closing costs and no fees for you—absolutely no cost whatsoever to you! Not at any time.

This method of sale is an increasing precedent and benefit to land owners who don’t plan on developing their raw land to cash in on the parcels and cover life’s necessities; including weddings! It’s a distressed property solution that so many people have benefited from and are always happy that they made. As you make plans for a happy ceremony of matrimony (or help someone else to do so), consider whether or not you’re a candidate for this manner of sale and how it might benefit you.

Help in Your Time of Need

2012-02-08T14:17:00.000-08:00

Losing a loved one is a grievous experience and, unfortunately, there is no quick way to get around missing someone who has passed on.

The Process of Selling Your Land

2012-02-03T14:10:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately, selling raw land is not like selling stock. Neither hunting grounds nor a riverfront ranch can be unloaded from your portfolio with the hurried click of a desktop mouse. In fact, the time that it takes to decide that you’re going to sell your raw land, plus the time it takes to conclude a sale can usually be measured in weeks, months, or even a year’s time. That’s because selling anything that you own, have inherited, or have invested in can be an intimidating process. Especially, if you’re having a hard time letting go and, too, if don’t know where to start or what to expect in the end. In order to help yourself through the process, ask yourself a couple of simple questions.

Why Am I Selling?

Take a good honest look at your reason(s) for selling your raw land. Is it costing you too much in property tax expense? Is it located too far away from where your life is established? Are you unable to develop it and hope to make a profit to cover current or future bills? Keep in mind that your answer as to why you’re selling your property may be different from someone else’s; however, it’s just as important as everyone else’s. If it’s important to you, no answer is too silly.

Do I Need Help?

Though there are plenty of real estate novices in the world, there is equally enough help for the person who wants to sell just about any type of property. Help, that is, for those who have yet to learn what the MLS is to the savvy go-getter’s who, somehow, can overachieve anything; even, the selling of land. But whatever your case, there is always something to learn.

One of the best teachers on all things pertaining to raw land sales would be a land investor. A land investor is skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to changing land laws, land title exchanges, the assessment of raw parcels, and the negotiation and finalization of land sales.

Some land investors, like Lucas Properties, LLC, are even distressed property solution experts. They are not only masters in normal land sale situations; they are, also, accustomed to helping meet the sales needs of land owners who are under financial pressure or strain.

Be Encouraged

Overall, the process of selling your raw land can be one that you enjoy. With anything, it just takes a willingness to learn about your options and the patience to see it through. If you’d like to be contacted about the possibility of selling your land to a land investor, submit the informational form under the WE BUY LAND tab.

Things to Consider When Selling Your Land

2012-01-31T13:47:00.000-08:00

Owners of raw lands typically have strong feelings about the value of their parcels. When you decide to sell your land, the emotional attachments that prompted you to purchase the land have to be set aside in order for you to successfully sell it. Viewing your property from an objective point of view will help you to eliminate any misconceptions about what buyers expect versus what you can offer. Selling your land can be achieved by the process of FSBO (For Sale by Owner), by realtor-client relationship (by hiring a real estate agent), by selling directly to a developer, or by selling to a private land investor. In all cases, the buyer will consider one major factor when bidding or proposing an offer on your land.

Highest and Best Use

The utmost value of a parcel of land hinges upon its highest and best use. Highest and best use is defined by the use of raw land that is the most plausible, the most possible to develop, and returns increased value to the land. But, what is tricky about this is that highest and best use is truly a matter of perception. For example, the highest and best use for a newlywed couple could be for the building of a new home, for a non-profit organization it could be a neighborhood playground, and for a developer it could be a strip mall. The concluding judgment by each potential buyer is something that they will consider to be logical and worthy to implement; even, if it doesn’t fit your perspective of the use of your land. Here’s the inside scoop on some of the determining factors that could be used to determine the value of your land.

Size
The size of your lot is the first factor that potential buyers will use to determine whether or not buying your land would be a good purchase for them. The reasoning for this is simple. While numerous homes have been built on an acre of land or less, a superstore or a home improvement warehouse would need much more space.
Shape

For example, a wide floor plan cannot be built on a narrow lot. So, the shape of your land in conjunction with a buyer’s development plans will be considered.
Quality

Quality is determined, mainly, by the standard of suitable land—both dry parcels and waterfront property—in the area in which you live. Both the surface and subsurface conditions of your land are important. Unseen agricultural issues can delay or deter development and should be immediately disclosed to potential buyers.

Being that the needs of buyers usually differ substantially, it’s beneficial to know that your greatest option in guaranteeing the sale of your land would be to consult with a private land investor. Visit the We Buy Land tab where Lucas Properties, LLC, an expert land investor, can equip you with further information on selling your raw lands and waterfront property.

Use Your Land for the Good of Others

2012-01-23T08:02:00.000-08:00

Despite the melancholy and shocking news reports that headline the newspapers or anchor the evening television commentary, there are still good people in the world. Amazingly, some of the most philanthropic and giving people in the world may not have much money to give. And while they, instead, are giving of their time, their energy, and their love, they still have other high hopes to make monetary donations where people actually need money to accomplish a goal. They’d like the added fulfillment of buying winter coats and school clothes for less fortunate children, or purchasing a family automobile for the young mother who pushes her baby in a stroller two miles back and forth to the grocery store every week.
In a world like this, where there are some who overlook the welfare of others, it’s more important than ever to assess what in life is most valuable. It’s time to evaluate just how we can make a significant difference in the life of someone who needs a helping hand. After all, every decision that we make can potentially take a life—even, an entire family—down a path opposite of what they might be experiencing. A path where there is no lack, no poverty, and no depression. Here are a few suggestions on how to promote positive change in someone else’s life and, too, eliminate another sad story from the news reports.

Let go of unused property. If you’re the owner of raw land in inner city, suburban, or rural cities, consider whether you’d like to do one of two things. Consider that you can donate your unused, undeveloped land (including vacant lots) towards playground or sports field development for minor aged children. Or, consider that you can sell your land to a private land investor who will grant you a quick cash closing so that you can make a quick cash donation to a public school in the area that needs renovating*.

Pass on your material belongings. If you have a garage full of unused clothing, bicycles or household items, consider donating these things to a charitable donation or to particular people in need.
Look for ways to display kindness. Offer to walk your neighbor’s dog when you walk yours. Buy your co-worker lunch in the work café. Or, help someone with their groceries. Display a random act of kindness. You never know, yours might be the only genuine smile that someone else has seen in a long time!

Land for Sale! The Right Choice for You

2012-01-19T07:56:00.000-08:00

Right now, you might be thinking of how purchasing your raw land was not as complicated as trying to sell it seems to be. After all, you were relieved that buying it was much cheaper than buying an actual home. And the anticipation of building something on it that you can say was your idea from the foundation to the rooftop was exciting. Truthfully, it was probably the greatest move you’d made in a long time, and the most fulfilling moment of your independent adult life. Then something more wonderful happened. You met her, or him. You became a father, or a mother. You landed a dream job, or you started your own business. And all of a sudden, parcels of raw land don’t stand a chance against the home that you’re shopping for with your special someone—you might be hoping to find that one with the craftsmanship charm and character that she just has to have. Whatever your situation, it’s a marvelous thing to move forward with your life. So, here’s a little information that might help you to get there a little faster.

If you choose to hire a real estate agent, know that you’re greatest challenge will be in exercising the patience needed while you wait for potential buyers to surf and find your property on the MLS. That is, potential buyers who think that your land is the type of land that they want, is in just the right location that they desire, and is selling for just the right price. No matter how optimistic a person you are, the questions to answer are, “Are you up for the challenge?” and “How long are you willing to wait?”
If you choose to consult with a private land investor, you’re greatest challenge might only be in deciding just how you’re going to celebrate your quick sale and where you’re going to spend your quick cash. That’s because selling your land—even, your vacant lot, your farmland, ranch, oceanfront or lakefront parcel, for example—to a land investor eliminates the suffering and frustration that a ‘slow market’ encourages. Let’s face it, waiting for 3 months, 6 months, or a year for your land to sell can (unfortunately) be a road block to your future. And, honestly, no one hopes for that.
After a land investor like Lucas Properties, LLC assesses your land, an offer would potentially made to purchase your land at 5% to 25% of its fair market value. And (if you accept) with the promise of a seven day closing without closing fees, you would feel like most people feel when they work with a distressed property solution specialist: you would feel free to move forward without delay. And, too, you would be free of any debt associated with your land; like back property taxes and liens.

Developing Raw Land

2012-01-12T19:48:00.000-08:00

Developing raw land requires that much attention be given to the legalities of constructing your commercial or residential building. For starters, you have to be sure to have the permit(s) necessary to build; and double checking on behalf of your contractor is always in your best interest. And you may not be the pro builder but you need to know exactly where your property lines are, and the details of where utility lines will run through. Additionally, you’ll need a road with functional access to your building that passes all legal regulations. With all of these things in place, you’re able to get started with constructing your habitable property. Here are some basic, fundamental guidelines to follow before the foundation is laid for your building:

Choose an architectural plan that best fits your site. It’s not feasible or functional to build a large or wide building on a narrow lot. Just as it isn’t reasonable to build an elevated beach home, for example, on a flat rural parcel that is hundreds of miles away from the nearest beach. Be sure to know the measurements of your land when searching for or designing an architectural plan that fits your needs. And, too, try to match the style and functionality of your plan to that of the neighborhood.
Have your plans approved for building by the local government. In the past, vastly different buildings and homes in the same neighborhood were more widely accepted. However, these days, most local governments lean more favorably towards conventionally styled structures that can easily blend in with the existing neighborhood. Take a good drive around the neighborhood in which you’re building and get a feel for what plans would or would not be a good fit.
Clear the land of debris, trees, and vegetation. If you’ve a flat lot with little or no trees, then this job will be easier. However, if you’ve large trees and plenty of debris, you must be prepared to pay the cost of tearing down, picking up, and hauling away the unwanted excess.
Have the power, water, and sewerage components installed on the land. Consulting often with your builder or contractor is important. The layout of your land and the layout of your plan will determine exactly how power, water, and sewerage will function with your building. Also, consult with the city in which you’re building what the procedure is for having these installed according to government guidelines.
Recently, there has been a rise in the number of raw land owners (who initially bought and intended to develop their land) that have lost the potential to execute their development plans. Those land owners have used the assistance of private land investors to sell their land fast for cash and at a reasonable percentage of the fair market value; and, also, to address their raw land issues with an expert. If you need information concerning raw land sales or have questions about land development, contact Lucas Properties LLC for the answers to your questions.

Too Busy for Your Inheritance? Try this Distressed Property Solution

2012-01-09T07:32:00.000-08:00

It’s official. Your selfless and caring aunt has bestowed an inheritance upon you; massive pieces of farmland in a small agricultural town 87 miles away from your home. You’re extremely touched, you feel extremely loved, and yet… you have no idea what to do with any of it. How are you supposed to manage it? Who is supposed to take care of it? You can hardly imagine that it’s really your responsibility now. Between your spouse and the kids, work, household responsibilities, and the ‘me time’ that you’ve been trying to carve out for the last three years, this land might grow into a forest by the time you’re able to travel to see it.

Hope as you might, it just seems that Aunt Beth’s dreams of grandeur for flourishing corn fields and crops just don’t quite fit into your lifestyle. In fact, what would fit into your lifestyle is if you could turn potential vegetables into cash without all of the hard work; especially, since your dreams are more in favor of starting a savings account for your toddler, buying your teen an automobile (that would certainly cut back on your chauffeuring duties), or making sure that your college bound kid won’t have to work a job while diligently studying his coursework (keep your future doctor focused on those medical books!).

So, considering that you’ve very little room in your life leftover for a farming adventure, you also might not have time to spend with a real estate agent who would focus on selling your land on the MLS. With that in mind, contacting a private land investor who will assess your land and bypassing the waiting game that is the real estate market could be the best option for you. If you’re interested in finding out how you can sell your land within one week’s time, Lucas Properties, LLC is an expert land investor who can give you answers to your questions. Lucas Properties has helped many people with similar distressed property issues while helping them to understand the benefits of making a raw land sale via this method. Such benefits include the absence of closing costs and fees, the expert completion of land transfer and sale finalization, the payment of back property taxes and liens on the seller’s behalf, and a real cash payment.

So, don’t fret any longer over acres that you may never set foot on. Instead, put that energy where you really want to put it—into caring for your children and their future. In fact, you should consider putting some of that energy into the quiet time that you might find to tell them about your favorite memories of your loving aunt.

Owe No More - We Buy Land

2012-01-06T14:00:00.000-08:00

Let’s just be straight forward, here. It is not fun to owe people money. Though you’re probably one of those people who do their very best to always pay their bills in full and on time, financial upsets can and do happen. And when they do happen, most people worry or panic or fear. But, let’s face it; stewing in your own stress juices isn’t the most productive avenue to take. In fact, a more prosperous road to travel might be one of your taking stock of the material possessions that you own, that you no longer want, and wouldn’t mind selling in order to cut down your debts. Those things could include jewelry, fashionable shoes, name brand clothing and accessories, or computer equipment; even, cars, houses, and land. Yes, land; raw land, to be exact.

If you’re a land owner, you already know that good raw land, at some point, is meant to be developed upon. The most benefit from oceanfront parcels, for example, comes from having a big picture window to stare out at it from. But, if you’ve hit a stumbling block and can’t develop upon your land in the wake of other financial troubles, you might want to consider relinquishing a profit from your land that could help to pay your debts. Surely, just the thought of someday waking to the sound of the tide coming in is appealing. But it might not replace the peace of mind that you’d get from knowing that you’re in right financial standing with others.

So, if you’re in need of a distressed property solution and you’d like more information on how you can quickly sale your land for cash, get in touch with Lucas Properties, LLC. Whatever your land type and whatever your financial woes, there is a caring land investment expert who can help you through the process of making a successful and stress free sale.

A Better Land Sale

2012-01-05T19:13:00.000-08:00

If you own one of the latest and the most ingenious inventions on the market today called the ‘smartphone’, then you know that there seems to be an app for everything. And, yes, there is literally an app for almost anything. You can stay on top of your life with apps that help you to organize your tasks and sync your calendars to playing games and video chatting with friends. Even real estate companies have gotten in on the action with on-the-go listings that cater to anyone interested in selling or buying properties from lands to homes to corporate buildings. We’re a world on the move and, thanks to some super tech savvy folks, all of the information that we need can move with us.

There is absolutely no denying that the practice of visiting a realtor’s office twice a week for visual and face-to-face updates on the progress of your listed property for sale has become antiquated for the millennial generation. Such a thing is widely replaced by electronically transmitted documents, high definition email photos, and Face-Time. (This is where you say, “Whoa!”). But, though you can sell your oceanfront parcel in California from your New York apartment, these days, there is still yet one thing that your smartphone cannot do for you. As much as you might love it, it can’t smile at you and place tangible, spendable cash in your hand for the sale of your raw land.

So, how (you might ask) would you go about gaining such an experience as your own? Well, hats off to all of the cool apps that make us feel like we can manage our day to day lives and still be intact by the end of the day. However, the best way to sell your raw land quickly and receive actual cash for it is to enlist and embrace the help of an expert land investor. Only a land investor is especially knowledgeable about how to assess your land and quickly finalize the sale of your land; which includes the guarantee of a seven day closing and a no hassle cash payment—neither of which you can get from an app or the Multiple Listing System.

Normally, land investors will offer a profit of 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your unwanted, unused raw land; even, waterfront land. That’s the national precedent and the going exchange for a fast, uncomplicated sale; including the benefit of the absence of closing fees plus the elimination of the liens and debts of the land from your financial record.

This method of sale has been the right choice for so many Americans for varying reasons. It’s even proven to be a distressed property solution that people are telling their friends about. The word is out! If you have questions about how this method of sale for your raw land could work for you, contact Lucas Properties, LLC.

Selling Your Land in the Winter Months

2012-01-03T13:53:00.000-08:00

Most people can admit that it’s a beautiful sight to see snowflakes falling from the sky. And that it’s almost surreal to wake up to inches of snow draped across empty tree branches, against the glow of the rising sun. It’s the kind of incentive that succeeds in drawing you outside into the cold when you’d really rather stay inside. And it’s the joy of countless, excited children wherever snowmen can be made. But, as an adult and a land owner, it’s not as enjoyable to think of your newly listed raw land buried twelve inches beneath the cold and the wet. Why is that? Its because it can be hard for potential buyers to imagine the possibility of development on land that they cannot see. However, there are two things that you can do to aid their imaginations:

Set Markers

Setting markers at the corners of your parcel will help to define property lines during the winter months. This would require the specialty services of a surveyor or assessor who has the equipment and know-how to properly measure your site. Because the ground might be frozen and too hard to dig and cement vertical posts for maximum visibility, you may have to use creative methods to mark your land; i.e., small boulders or logs that snow can easily be brushed off of during a showing of your parcel.
Use Photographs

Ideally, you already have detailed photographs of your land that were taken during the months when snow does not fall. Or, maybe you have photographs that were given to you from when you, yourself, purchased the land. If so, you can use those to show to potential buyers and make a successful sale during the winter months. But, if you don’t have any photos of your snow buried treasure, don’t fret! This is when you’ll have to especially emphasize the amazing qualities of your land and the surrounding neighborhood. Don’t worry. You’ll find the right words to say.
If, somehow, you find that you’re still having trouble selling your land in the winter season, you can explore the option of waiting until spring to entertain buyers. You can also explore the option of selling your land to a land investor who will assess your land information and potentially make you a quick sale, quick cash offer. Consult with expert private land investor, Lucas Properties, LLC for how you can sell your land during the winter months. You might soon find that you like Old Man Winter more than you thought!

Your New Year's Resolution: Sell That Land!

2012-01-02T19:54:00.000-08:00

Already, many Christmas shopping lists have been replaced with lists of New Year’s resolutions. On the average checklist of resolutions you can, no doubt, find lose weight, spend more time with family, or save more money. But, for the person who has an extraordinarily zealous need to start anew, the list might be fairly simple: start a brand new life! Perhaps, it’s a brand new life in a brand new city, a brand new home, or with a brand new special someone. Out with the old and in with the new.
Well, in the world of vacant lots, lonely oceanfront shores, and cold empty fields, out with the old and in with the new is a welcome change for land owners hoping to sell their land for a warm, fun filled future. Avoiding the time and energy consuming tasks of hiring a real estate agent, hoping for potential buyers, and selling to the right one is key. This is where enlisting the help of a private land investor becomes the most helpful.
Lucas Properties, LLC has provided expert land investment services to numerous clients in need of a distressed property solution such as yours. With an impressive history of successfully purchasing and closing on raw land within seven day’s time, you’ll be able to move forward without a hitch. And, too, the benefits of choosing to sell your land to a land investor go above and beyond the satisfaction of making the sale. In fact, your profit would actually be cash and any debt that you owe on the land would be paid for on your behalf! Yes, it’s true! Now, that's the way to start a new year. Contact Lucas Properties, LLC for more details.

Tips on Selling Your Waterfront Property

2011-12-30T09:07:00.000-08:00

Waterfront property is often found in the raw stages and is defined as land without buildings that is fronting or abutting on a body of water. That includes land facing a river, creek or spring, canal, lake or pond, or ocean. And just like any other parcel of land, selling these types of lands can be easy to do. If you’re looking to sell your land, mostly everyone knows that a real estate agent is specially trained for the job of helping you to advertise your sale via the MLS (Multiple Listing System). But, if you’re looking for a quick and inexpensive way to sell your land and put cash into your pocket, consulting with a private land investor is the best way to go. Here’s some information about both to help you make the decision that’s best for you.

A Real Estate Agent…

Will advertise your land nationally via the MLS
Will evaluate your land, and take detailed notes and photographs of your land on your behalf
Will keep you informed of comparable sales in the area and keep your price competitive
Will negotiate the details of a sale on your behalf
Will require a commission
Cannot guarantee a sale, nor a timeline for the completion of a sale
A Private Land Investor...

Will offer you 5%-25% of the fair market value of your land in cash
Will guarantee a closing date within seven days
Will eliminate closing fees
Will pay your debts on the property in full
Require no commission
Print this page or take note of this information if you plan to research a realtor in your area or a private land investor. Be sure to ask specific questions as some may or may not practice their profession slightly differently than described above. Discuss what you learn with loved ones who can help you to make the decision that benefits you and your family the most. Gain all of the knowledge that you can and then go from there!

Did You Say, I Want to Sell My Land?

2011-12-26T08:58:00.000-08:00

Can you count the number of times you’ve actually used your raw land on one hand? How many family reunion gatherings or beach party celebrations have actually happened on that land of yours? If you’re thinking ‘not many’ or are still wondering (after all of these years) when you’ll find the time to accomplish such a feat, you could become one of the many thousands of people who have benefited from selling their unused, raw land for profit. So many people have been able to cash in on their undeveloped parcels of land—from waterfront property to farmlands and ranches—while, too, being able to avoid the added expense of land ownership. Expenses like property taxes, the cost of maintenance, the expenditure of fencing repairs and the capturing of wild pests that provoke neighboring residents to anger can be enough to chomp a hefty chunk of cash from your income on an annual basis. If you think about it, you can probably find another area of your life where those finances can be better utilized as opposed to letting your land sit and create bills for you.

Instead of selling your land on the real estate market where you will surely pay commission to an agent and, possibly, wait an extended period of time for a serious buyer, you can consider consulting with a land investor about a speedy cash closing. With Christmas approaching, there is peace of mind in knowing that your spending spree to shower gifts upon your loved can begin within seven days of the date that you enter an agreement to sell your unused land.
Know that a good land investor will eliminate the pressure of your financial concerns regarding your sale. That means that he or she will not pressure you into an obligation, will offer you a nationally accepted percentage of the fair market value of your land, and will cover all costs of your sale; even, closing costs and fees, liens, and back property taxes. To find out how you can come out from under the weight of the expenses of your land and gain a profit as you say I want to sell my land, contact private land investor Lucas Properties, LLC.

Your Quick Land Sale

2011-12-23T08:55:00.000-08:00

To some, vacations and romantic getaways are a far fetched idea. With the busyness and costly price of everyday life, it’s possible that your wallet just isn’t always as full as your calendar. So, when you find yourself daydreaming about your hair blowing in the Bahama Breeze but come to the realization that it’s only the office fan oscillating at the desk in your cubicle, know that there is a way that you came make your dream a reality.
As a waterfront property owner, your land is in high demand by private land investors. You’re an especially good candidate to sell your land if your land is an unused, undeveloped lakefront, riverfront, or oceanfront parcel.

Easy Asset Liquidation

2011-12-20T08:50:00.000-08:00

Liquidating your assets is easier to do than you might think. In fact, everyday, many people make the choice to liquidate their assets, turning their material possessions into cash that they can use. Similarly, any item of value that you own is an asset that you can profit from—from buildings to raw land and waterfront parcels to cars, jewelry, and clothes. So, with that said, here’s how to go about increasing your cash flow.

To cover yourself legally, you should enlist the help of a lawyer, accountant, or debt counselor who will guide you through each step of the process. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that, if the assets that you’re selling are few, you don’t need a clear and concise plan to implement.

Create a thorough list of your assets with an accurate description of each. Take pictures of each item. And remember to photograph damage on items that are still sellable. Doing these things in the beginning this will save you time, energy, and expense as you navigate your way through the selling process. Be sure to store copies of your notes and photographs in a safe place in case you ever need them for income tax purposes.

Take the time to learn the liquidation value of your assets. For example, in a private sale, a land investor would purchase your land for cash at 5%-25% of its fair market value and not necessarily. If what you’re selling is raw land, a private land investor will be able to assess your raw and waterfront parcels, and offer you a quick cash closing that will bypass the time it takes to wait for potential buyers. Remember that any company that proposes an amount to you for the purpose of purchasing and item should give you a written appraisals before you accept.

If you’d like to conduct a sale where the general public can come and view all of your varying items at once, you’ll have to choose a sufficient venue and a date on which you’d like to hold your sale. Even your front yard is suitable if it can comfortably hold what you’re selling and the weather permits it. Remember that people typically work during weekdays and enjoy most of their shopping time on the weekends.

On the other hand, letting a professional manage your sales can potentially collect for you the maximum profit on each individual item. You might want to use different experts for specialty items; for example, an auto dealer for your automobile, a jeweler for your diamonds and gems, or an auctioneer for your washer and dryer.

With the proper help, implementing this checklist should help you to accomplish your liquidation goal. For further information, contact Lucas Properties, LLC.

Holiday Lay-A-Way or You Can Sell Your Land-No Lines

2011-12-11T17:35:00.000-08:00

According to the news reports, the lay-a-way lines are long at some of the hottest retail superstores in the country. This pick-it-out and pay-it-off-in-time method has come back in full throttle after many years of hibernation. And savvy shoppers from all walks of life are taking advantage of the most wanted electronics, toys, and more.
While this has been helpful to many people’s budgets, there are some who wish that other areas of life had lay-a-way plans, too. They imagine how beneficial it would be for them if they could put their mortgage payment, car note, or medical bills in lay-a-away. If they could gather them all together and pay $20 or less on the whole bulk of expenses, that would certainly be ideal. But, we all know that life doesn’t work that way. And being behind on bills can be scary.
So, if you’re looking for ways to catch up on your bills and keep some money in your pocket for necessities and unexpected expenses, you really don’t have to look any further than the dirt under your feet. That’s right. Right now, land investors are offering quick cash closings on waterfront properties; lakefront, oceanfront, and riverfront parcels. Lucas Properties, LLC in particular has helped countless distressed land owners alleviate the weight of certain debts by offering seven day closings on raw land, and free of charge—that is, no closing fees or expenses. Typically, the offer of a cash payment that equals 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land is presented in conjunction with the offer to pay your liens and back taxes on the land. That’s double the benefit.
If you think that you’re a prime candidate for an offer like this, being someone who has no use for or plans to develop your raw waterfront property, fill out the informational form under the We Buy Land tab. A professional land investor will evaluate your information and contact you with details.

Parents! Increase Your Budget

2011-12-07T17:29:00.000-08:00

Nurturing children to maturity through care and education is, historically, expensive. If you’re the parent of an infant, you know that diapers (the good kind) and wipes (the smell good kind) require a significant amount of couch change for the good of baby’s skin. If you’re the parent of a teenager, the demand on your wallet is for clothing, cell phones, tablets, and game consoles. You might joke around when you speak with your friends about the high cost of so many things, these days, but harbor secret fears about how you’re going to keep your children comfortable and give them the things that they hope for. Well, there is no need to worry. There are a number of things that you can do to alleviate the cost of raising your children while not compromising their happiness.

Downsize
Here’s a nifty but practical cliché, decrease now to increase later. If you mortgage a large beautiful home in an exclusive gated community, many people would say that that’s great! But, if you’re in debt, are secretly struggling every month to make ends meet, and are slowly chopping away at your children’s college funds or can’t save for college… well, that’s not so wonderful. It’s no fun to be house poor. So, you might want to consider if it’s to your advantage to move your family into a smaller home in the same school district (at least, for now) where the mortgage is less straining and, too, the HOA fees are little or non-existent. Taking steps to downsize now could give you the wiggle room you need to restructure your financial future and pave the way for lasting financial security for your children.
Eliminate Unnecessary Household Expenses

If you think about it, you may not really need that subscription that you have for movie services, newspaper delivery, or hard copy magazines. With your local library renting movies to library patrons for free, and most newspapers and magazines publishing electronic versions for free, you could save bucks that you can put towards learning videos and toys, new school shoes, or, even, braces. Every little bit counts. Sit down with your family and make a list of what you must have and what you absolutely can do without. You might be surprised at how much you can potentially save.

Consider Selling Your Land

Selling your land or extra home in lieu of the expense of upkeep, security, and property taxes might be a good choice for you if the cost of ownership is limiting the quality of your everyday life. If what it costs you in liens, property taxes, and maintenance to own secondary land is taking a noticeable chunk out of your budget, you can contact a private land investor for further information on selling your raw land—whether it is a lot, farmland, hunting ground, ranch, lakefront or oceanfront parcel). You can sell your land for a speedy cash profit, experiencing the benefit of increase while eliminating property expenses.

How To Build A Medical Savings Fund

2011-12-03T17:21:00.000-08:00

As the weather turns towards cooler temperatures, pharmacies are offering flue shots without appointment in anticipation of the flu season. Digital signs flashing, “Get the shot before the BUG gets you!” are not unusual to see. Reminders like these are helpful and, even, beneficial to those looking to stay on top of sickness this season; especially, if the vaccination is administrated freely where you live. However, staying ahead of other ailments isn’t always as easy to accomplish or heal from if you’re someone who is on a limited budget and doesn’t receive free medical treatments or possess medical insurance.

Being able bodied and in good health is a vital part of life which permits people to work, play, and enjoy life to the fullest. And most people would agree that there is nothing more important than loving life; for, loving life is something that no one ever regrets. So, how do you get to the place where you can stay healthy and enjoy life in the absence of medical coverage? Well besides the natural steps of eating well, getting enough sleep, and avoiding stress, it might be a good idea to set up an emergency fund for hospital and doctor appointment co-pays and bills.
If acquiring an additional job of some kind for supplemental income doesn’t work for your schedule or your lifestyle, you might want to look to sell your raw land for the cash that you need to build the savings that you want. Raw land is easily defined as undeveloped land in its natural state that ranges from vacant lots to hunting grounds to oceanfront parcels. The most traditional, but often least profitable and most time consuming way to sell your raw land is to sell it on the Multiple Listing System (MLS) via a real estate agent. However, the fastest way to profit when you sell your raw land is to sell to a private land investor.
Private land investors close on the purchase of raw land within seven days. They typically buy land at 5% to 25% of the fair market value of a parcel and pay in cash. Additionally, they pay all closing costs, all liens, and all back taxes owed on the property. So, cashing in on something that you own for the life that you want to live is easy and stress free!

Animal Lovers Get the Cash You Need to Fulfill Your Dreams By Selling Your Land

2011-11-29T17:16:00.001-08:00

Only the most adoring animal owner could understood the need to give their dog or cat, horse or cattle—even, lizards and guinea pigs—the best care, attention, and service. Some even dream as big as attending veterinarian school, operating a mobile pet grooming service, or opening a chain of pet supply stores. But these dreams, like most dreams, aren’t usually attainable without sacrifice of time, energy, and money.
Looking for the extra cash to propel forward in an endeavor is sometimes easier than imagined. For example, if you already own assets that you aren’t using and are willing to sell, you’ve already won half the battle towards reaching your goal. Taking the time to evaluate what you can part with is the first step. Great examples of high demand sellable items include designer clothing, shoes, and handbags; fine jewelry; automobiles, motorcycles, and boats; and, homes and lands.

Numerous websites offer free listing services for the sale of wearable items, and advertising in newspapers is a great idea to advertise the selling prices of your various vehicles. Usually, real estate agents can help with the sale of homes, and enlisting the help of private land investors prove to be the most efficient way to sell lands; even, farmlands, plains, lakefront lots, and grasslands off of the ocean shore*. Rest assured that what you have has value with others, and the fulfillment of your dreams is closer than it seems.

The Rewards of Selling Your Land

2011-11-25T08:57:00.000-08:00

Volunteering for the holidays is an especially fulfilling experience. Soup kitchens, nursing homes, orphanages, churches, and non-profit organizations all across the nation are gearing up to serve, minister to, and provide for some of the people in the world who are less fortunate and more lonely than most. Many incidences have drawn these people to a common place of spending the holidays in the absence of family. But, not only do they benefit from your presence, your smile, and your warm words, they also benefit from your financial donations.
Though you might be willing to take that extra step in sharing a portion of your financial means to provide food, bedding, clothing, and more for someone else, you’re pocketbook may not be as enthusiastic. Fortunately, private land investors are now showing extreme interest in raw lands; including, undeveloped waterfront parcels.
If you have raw land in the woods or land that borders water that you are interested in selling for a quick cash profit, you can certainly finalize the sale in time to make your donation before the holiday season celebrations begin. And (surprise, surprise) you’ll gain even more of a benefit from selling your land than from the joy you feel when someone wraps genuinely appreciative arms around your torso. You’ll get the gift of having any liens or property taxes due on your land paid off on your behalf. You’ll also gain the gift of no closings costs.

So, just as you don’t hesitate to give, don’t hesitate to consider this process of giving. The rewards are amazing!

3 Great Reasons to Sell Your Land

2011-11-22T08:52:00.000-08:00

It’s now commonplace that more and more Americans are inheriting raw land every year. So much so that the chances that you are someone who now owns freely acquired land or waterfront property—whether man or woman, no matter what race or age, and no matter what your income class—is no longer an isolated incident. There are some who, upon receiving their inheritance, make conceptual plans to develop a residential or commercial building on the site; a vacation home or a small business ranch, for example. However, while picking themselves up from the economic hardships that shrouded the past few years, many of those same people are now seeking to cash in on the treasure beneath their feet. Understandably, they have gained a greater desire to alleviate financial strain they may be feeling in some area of their lives. With that being said, here are three prevalent reasons as to why people are selling their raw land; even, their farmlands, ranches, hunting grounds, lakefront and oceanfront properties.

Pay Off Debts

There is absolutely nothing like a debt free life. A host of phone calls from debt collectors and lawyers can be intimidating. The threat of looming wage and income tax refund garnishment is enough to frighten anyone who already feels financially confined. So, many have opted to sell some of the things that they own to make up where they lack and settle their debts. Selling your land—especially, if have no regular use for it—may be a good option for you.

Pay Current or Future Bills

Payments for bills like school tuition, wedding bills, and bills of necessity (heat, gas, water, groceries, etc.), for example, can be planned for ahead of time. Just as it’s now very popular among generations both older and younger to snip coupons for savings, the same amount of attention and planning given to establishing a budget for the future can help to pay for foreseen costs, both, big and small. When seeking a source for extra income, heads of households all over the country are opting to sell their land for quick cash profit with a private land investor. They like having the near-immediate monetary gain for peace of mind, as opposed to listing their land for sale on the MLS and waiting for a potential buyer. (If you’d like further information about selling to a land investor, contact Lucas Properties, LLC for more details).

Increase Savings

For others, the idea of simply increasing their child’s savings account or that of their own for the sake of retirement is their greatest and most urgent concern. Everyone loves a ‘cushion’ and the feeling of financial security increases for many people when there is money in the bank.

You might find that one or more of these reasons belong to you. Whatever your situation is, know that you are not alone and that a solution is within reach.

Discover the Distressed Property Solution For You

2011-11-20T12:45:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately, not everyone is in a position where they can spare time, energy, and money to sell their home, raw land, or waterfront parcel in a traditionally manner. One of the most established methods for selling property is by hiring a real estate agent and listing it on the MLS. But unless you know the fear, distress, and desperation of waiting for said property to sell in order to cover debts or bills, you may not understand the relief in discovering that there is a faster solution available.

All over the country, people are discovering the method of sale that is becoming highly recommended by professionals and peers alike. It’s the method of selling raw land to land investors for a cash profit and the promise of a speedy closing date. So many people have discovered this distressed property solution that allows for relief from financial pressure in more than one way. You see, not only can the profit from selling to a land investor eliminate or help alleviate the money troubles that many Americans have faced in recent years; this choice of sale will be completed at no cost to you. Because land is in high demand for the business and residential plans of poised developers, land investors are willing to offer you cash and cover the costs and debts of those who are willing to part with the land that they aren’t using. Normally, the cash offer comes in the form of a percentage of the fair market value of your land; right now, that percentage is 5% to 25%, with waterfront parcels being valued at a higher rate. Nevertheless, raw lands of all kinds are widely acceptable and desired.

If you feel as if you can’t wait for a solid buyer to make an offer on your land, you might want to consider enlisting the services of a private land investor. Already having determined that your needs for your land aren’t relative to your daily life or future plans, it should be easy for you to speak candidly with a friendly investor about your situation and your needs. Keep in mind that he or she is accustomed to helping those in need of a distressed property solution and will help you to feel at ease throughout the process.

Can you count on one hand how many times you’ve actually used that undeveloped, raw land or waterfront parcel that you own? Sure, you’re a disciplined and diligent land owner that makes the regular trips to your vacant lot to maintain it; but, you might often turn to your landscaping buddy who tagged along to help, “Why do I keep doing this?

For many people, selling their land to a private land investor has proven to be much easier than enlisting the help of a realtor.

Yes! It’s that time of season again when most people give more of themselves than they have all year long. Whether it’s the giving of time and attention, energy and help, or food and money, giving is the greatest feeling and the greatest gift that one can give to another.

Sell Your Waterfront Property for Cash

2011-11-08T13:52:00.000-08:00

You probably don’t know anyone who would turn down an offer of cash for something that they aren’t using and don’t seem to have the need for. In fact, most of us are generous enough to simply give away that thing that has become an undesirable thought in the back of our minds, or that thing that holds a mere faint memory that we barely hold on to. In other words, what once may have been a treasure to us no longer is. And, with the holidays fast approaching and the decorations going up, we now face the personal task of organizing our lives for the coming season. Yes, as many clear their minds and clean out their hearts of the things that they don’t wish to carry to the dinner tables that will be brimming over with loved ones in the coming days, you might be secretly wishing the near unfathomable thought of simply giving away your land to the first passer-by! You might reason as you quietly grumble that that might suit you better than your laboring over the upkeep, worrying about protecting it, and paying all of the expenses for it—even, just one more time! So, if someone were to offer you a quick cash profit for your land (even, if you think that’s just ‘well wishing’), chances are that you might surely welcome the opportunity with an open faced palm and a relieved sense of well-being.

Fortunately, your well-wishing can become a reality for you. Every day, people enlist the help of a private land investor to help deliver them from the distress that they feel about the waterfront property that they own. For one reason or another, they are willing to give up their lakefront, oceanfront, or riverfront land and, too, would like to do it quickly.

Quick Facts
A land investor typically offers 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land. Keep in mind that waterfront property is automatically considered a higher valued parcel than raw land that does not border water of any kind.

Selling to a land investor guarantees a quick sale; typically, within seven days or less. This is a much shorter time than it normally takes to sell raw land with the help of a real estate agent who will list your property on the MLS.

Your liens and back property taxes will be paid on your behalf when you choose this method of sale.

You’ll pay no closing costs or fees associated with the sale of your land.

You’ll be paid in cash! No waiting for the mail carrier to deliver your profit or waiting in the bank line to cash a cashier’s check.

If you’re considering selling your land this way, contact Lucas Properties, LLC for further details.

How to Improve Raw Land for Selling?

2011-11-05T09:39:00.000-07:00

Raw land can be identified as undeveloped and untilled grounds. Generally speaking, there are no improvements and buildings upon raw land because it is an unimproved property. Raw land can be improved by zoning the area meaning it can be prepared or cleared for construction purposes, if you have enough money to complete the project. Here is a simple checklist that can be used for the improvement of raw land. You will need to consider many loopholes to go through the improvement process.

Hire a land surveyor

You can hire any local real estate surveyor because without the survey you cannot improve your raw land yourself. The surveyor can reveal plumbing lines and location of power and property lines between you and your neighbor.

City planning commission

Make contact with a city planning commission to find the location of your property. There may be charges for you to get issuance of zoning laws and building permits. Get permission to work on the clearing of the land and to prepare it for building.

Hire a cleaning company

To clear your land, it is recommended that you hire a landscaping company. If you see there are too trees for building, then you should remove them. Get a referral from a property surveyor. Find the names and contact information of the companies to clear land.

You can call the utility companies to check the facilities for plumbing lines and power on your raw land if your land surveyor is unable to provide the information. If they don’t exist, then you can inquire the cost of installing water and power lines properly.

You should always get the building permit with your town or city government office and chief code enforcement officer. If you don’t have real estate experiences then don’t do this yourself.

Preparing your raw land for sale can be quite a chore. You can sell your land fast for cash to experienced land investors ready to offer you up to 20% of market value in cash, closing within 7 days and all liens and closing fees are covered by the investor. If it’s a fast sale you need, don’t worry about preparing your land, just sell your land fast for cash.

Moving? Selling Your Lakefront Property is Easy!

2011-11-02T19:09:00.000-07:00

In some parts of the country, one of the benefits of owning undeveloped lakefront land means always having a sure camping ground for spontaneous family fun, staying filled up on Omega 3’s (because the fish are always biting), and always having a place to dive in and cool down. All wonderful activities that, surely, have created amazing memories for many; that is, until all of their favorite things to do are gone with the falling of the autumn leaves and the freezing temperatures that, eventually, still the water. If that describes you and you always get bummed at the thought of storing the RV and the tents away for the winter—if you’re daydreaming about selling your land, packing up the family, and heading to a warmer climate and year round water sports—then you might benefit from contacting a private land investor.

A private land investor can help to make your daydream a reality. Sure, there will be many more tasks to accomplish besides selling your land before you make a big move but, by eliminating the waiting game that couples the real estate market, a land investor can help to make your life a little bit easier. What’s most unique about selling to a land investor is the fact that you will not have to pay for anything and everything will be paid for you on your behalf; that is, closing costs, liens, property taxes, and fees, for example. Additionally, you’re guaranteed a closing date and finalized sale for cash in seven days. Cash? Yes, it’s true. Cash that can help you with the new adventure ahead. Sometimes, we can think that our next steps in life are more difficult than they really are. But, if you’ve decided that you’re ready to take a step in your life that you’ve never made before, Lucas Properties would be honored to be a part of your journey.

Appraising and Selling Your Waterfront Property

2011-10-29T19:36:00.000-07:00

It is true that appraisals for waterfront land are different from other land appraisals that don’t showcase a body of water. Statistically, waterfront land is valued as a significantly higher priced type of land. If you’re looking to appraise and sell your land—even, your lakefront, oceanfront, or riverfront land parcels—you should enlist the help and guidance of a private land investor, realtor, or professional appraiser.
To have your land appraised and sold in one ‘swap’, the ideal person to call would be a private land investor. The benefits of working with a professional like this includes the privileges of your land being assessed and sold—without any cost to you, from start to finish—in a very small amount of time. In fact, seven days is the typical length of time for a set closing date. The cash offer made to you for your land would be one of 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land; which is, already, a higher fair market value (and profit) than the raw lands in the same neighborhood that don’t border bodies of water. This is an ideal choice if you have no use or plans for your land. And, too, if you’re looking for a distressed property solution, or are in immediate need of extra income. For more information on selling to a private land investor, contact Lucas Properties, LLC.
If you’re not opposed to waiting for a buyer from the public to come along to purchase your land at a price point that you have set, a realtor might be a good pick for you. A realtor will do a comparative market analysis of your property; which means, he’ll compare the final sale prices of similar waterfront properties in your area in order to come up with a value for your property. After which, you and he would decide on what your selling price would be before he lists it on the MLS (Multiple Listing System). The appraisal, in this case, is usually, free; however, liens, back property taxes, closing costs, and other fees would be your responsibility to pay at or before the final sale of your property. Also, keep in mind that you will owe a commission to your realtor.
If you prefer an appraisal performed and written by a certified appraiser, you should contact a professional appraiser in your area; someone who is familiar with your city or town, and the surrounding areas. A professional and experienced appraiser legally sets the fair market value of your land so that you can sell it FSBO (For Sale by Owner) or on the MLS (Multiple Listing System) at that established price without buyers doubting the value of your land.

About Your Oceanfront Parcel

2011-10-23T19:16:00.000-07:00

While there are some people whose passion for sailing, surfing, or scuba diving keeps them loving the open water with every vivid sight of a gentle ocean ripple or a mighty crest, there are masses of land lovers who prefer to keep both feet on the ground… at all times. There are a variety of acceptable reasons as to why these folks prefer the sidewalk over the seashore, and you just might have adopted one of them as your own. Ironically, though, you might also own an oceanfront parcel of land by reason of inheritance—or, perhaps, due to a whim promise to yourself on a beautiful sunny day when you swore you’d learn to love the sight of seagulls and seaweed. I mean, who can really resist the beauty of a sparkling beach? Well, whatever the case (no matter how appealing to others your private beach is to others), things don’t seem to be working out as you planned and you’re looking to sell your collective footage of sand and cobblestones to the first interested party that comes along.

Surely, the fact that selling undeveloped oceanfront land can be challenging is unavoidable if you have no real coastal or shore knowledge. You’d need to know the exact size of your parcel, what type of sand is on your land, what kind of wildlife frequent the space, what laws you must follow concerning selling oceanfront property, and more. Just to think of what you need to know can be overwhelming.

Splitting the Sale of Your Land

2011-10-20T13:26:00.000-07:00

Though it might sound unfathomable to some, you might actually be one of the people in the world who own between one and ten thousand acres of land. Parts of your land might face five miles of a wild riverfront, and another area might boast a two hundred foot cliff overlooking western views or a grassy slope sheltered by birch trees. Whether ideal for residential or commercial habitation or not, your land is marketable to buyers who are willing to purchase some or all of your terrain; which, as a whole, might be defined by mixed land types (i.e., ranch, tree farm, canyon, prairie, hunting grounds, waterfront property, etc.).

If, for example, your land is vast and has been family owned for a number of years—an inheritance to you—you might consider it to be an impossible idea to either manage it or sell it; being without knowledge or experience in property laws, upkeep or, even, wildlife. Fortunately, no matter how massive your inventory, you should know that you’re not stuck between a rock and a hard place. There are a number of ways to sell your land and gain a profit without enduring the confusion or stress that others before you have experienced.
First, looking into hiring a land surveyor who can accurately measure your land and, too, split with markers the acreage you hope to sell in parts, or distinguish for you where differing land types start and end is important to do. This will eliminate property line and civil court issues that could arise after you have sold your land to two or more buyers that neighbor each other.
After defining the boundaries of land sections that you desire to sell, research websites online that will list your property for sale among a national audience of land seekers. Some sites offer free listing services while others require a monthly fee. On these sites, you can choose to list your land as a whole with the option to purchase in split parcels; being sure to list all of the information necessary to make whole or individual sales.
Another option to sell your land in pieces can include hiring a realtor who will list your land for sale in whole or in part on the MLS (Multiple Listing System). The MLS is nationally viewed but tends to yield land sale results at a slower rate because the audience is mostly partial to purchasing residential and commercial buildings.
Finally, contacting a private land investor could prove to be ideal for you. A land investor will, potentially, offer you cash closing in seven days to own one or more of the split parcels of your land. Added benefits include the absence of closing costs and fees; plus, the dissolving of financial responsibility for liens and back property taxes.

The Straight Facts on Waterfront Property Sales

2011-10-19T19:29:00.000-07:00

Most of the time, people just want the good news up front. They want it straight forward (no beating around the bush) and they want it now! Where such a thing was once called impatience, these days it’s preferable to the amount of information that people are expected to absorb and, even, retain on a daily basis.
So, here are the straight forward facts about selling your lakefront, oceanfront, and riverfront land parcels. There are many people who have dreams of building a lake house where their grandchildren and great grandchildren will gather and tell amazing stories about them in the future. A place where the supply of marshmallows for s’mores will never run out and the tire swing rope will never need replacing. Similarly, there are those who daydream about building a beach house on Martha’s Vineyard where their son will learn to hunt for crabs, or constructing a house on the river right where the herring for fishing is most abundant.

But, the reality of life is that some of these individuals will simply, someday, walk into a house that is already built--a house that sits off of the ocean, the lake, or the river--and fall in love with it. With a tour of the family room that holds the wood burning fireplace, and the master suite with the balcony that faces the sunrise, they will have mentally decorated the entire house before they leave the place. Before the viewing of the house is over, they will have already began the to-do list in their minds of what it will take to sell their already purchased waterfront parcel on the other side of town.
The amazing thing is this: they won’t have to do it alone. Sure, some will choose a real estate agent to help them sell that waterfront parcel; but, it might take weeks, maybe months to hear from a serious buyer. It will take time out of their days that they may not really have time to spare and money out of their pockets that they don’t really have to spend but, eventually, it will be sold.

On the other hand, others will choose to do business for seven days with a private land investor. That land investor will assess their waterfront parcel for them, offer them a cash profit, pay their closing costs and fees, pay the back taxes and liens on their behalf, and complete the title exchange paperwork. Within one week, their land will be sold and they’ll be making an offer on that house that they saw and loved! Is this too good to be true? Not at all. Lucas Properties, LLC has helped many people in this very same fashion. As distressed property solution experts, they are trained to negotiate and finalize sales accurately and in a timely fashion.

Tips on Selling Your Hunting Land

2011-10-14T11:30:00.000-07:00

Hunting land is undeveloped land that contains forests, marshes, and/or grasslands. Selling this type of land is just like selling any other parcel of land. And if you’re a land owner looking to sell your hunting land, you can sell it via a real estate agent or you can sell it yourself via a variety of advertising websites or private land investor.

Using a Real Estate Agent

If you decide to use a real estate agent, your first step would be to contact an agent in your area who has experience negotiating raw land sales; as this means that he or she will understand how to market your land aggressively.

Invite the agent to examine your hunting land, being sure to give as much detailed information as possible; including acre size, geographical facts, and your desired selling price. Know that the agent will want photographs of your property to post on the MLS (Multiple Listing System).

Touch bases with your agent on a regular basis. A minimum of once a week is ideal to determine how buyers are responding to your asking price, and if changes are necessary.

When you receive an acceptable offer, sell your land! If your buyer’s offer is comparatively competitive with land recently sold in the area, there’s no reason to hold out and prolong the process.

Selling Without an Agent

If you decide to negotiate an FSBO (For Sale by Owner), there are a few things that you must do.

After gathering all relevant information regarding your hunting land, you’ll need to determine the worth of your land based on the current market. To do this, you must research comparable land in the area and their selling prices. Be sure to set your pricing competitively to draw attention to your land.

Having color snapshots of the details of your land is recommended. To advertise via websites, you’ll need to upload or scan the photographs into a computer later on; so, access to a digital camera or a scanner is necessary to have.

Find your preferred website(s) to advertise your land for sale. Focus on the sites that target the sale of hunting land. When registering, be sure to include accurate contact information. Check the website(s), daily, for updates. If all goes as planned, you’ll be negotiating and closing the sale on your land, in time.

If the sale of your land isn’t progressing as you planned, you might want to consider contacting a private land investor who will eliminate the waiting game that sometimes comes along with selling hunting land and raw land, in general. Most will give you a cash offer on your land based on 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land, while paying the cost of liens, back taxes, and closing costs and fees on your behalf. For more details on how you can sell your land in seven days, contact Lucas Properties, LLC.

The Scoop on Selling to a Private Land Investor

2011-10-10T11:22:00.000-07:00

Perhaps you’ve heard of the growing trend of people selling their parcels of land to private land investors. It has become a time saving way to sell property quickly and profit cash. It is, in fact, the easiest, hassle-free distressed property solution out there. And, based on a seller’s individual situation, the advantage can be more than the selling of non-sellable land; it can, in turn, eliminate their debt and/or decrease their financial responsibilities.

So, based on the expert practices of Lucas Properties, LLC, here’s the scoop on the benefits that you’d enjoy if you decided to sell your land to a private land investor:

Cash Sale – A private land investor will offer you cash for your land. Usually, it’s 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land. This is especially ideal if you have not been using nor have plans to use your land.

Quick Closing – Typically, the sale of your land will be complete within seven days’ time.

No Closing Costs – Closing costs will be paid for you. You won’t have to pay anything out of pocket.

Debt Relief – Liens and back property taxes will, also, be paid for you. Additionally, you’d no longer be responsible for future taxes or land expenses.

With, at least, four significant advantages to selling your land in this way, you should consider that this might be a good choice for you!

Pricing Your Vacant Land for Sale

2011-10-07T19:14:00.000-07:00

Much like finding a price for residential and commercial property, pricing vacant land requires the same research and comparison efforts while taking into consideration additional variables. Variables like the size, location, and type of parcel you are attempting to sell. And whether or not your parcel used to be a landfill or neighbors a busy plastics factory is important information to note, as well; for, this, based on a buyer’s development plans, might affect the amount of money that he is willing to pay for the land—whether positively or negatively. Here are few tips to help you along the way as you seek to competitively price your land for sale.

How to Start

To begin, look for comparable parcels of land with the same zoning on the Multiple Listing System (MLS), and on local real estate websites. Of those that have basic similarities with yours, pinpoint those that are relatively the same size and have the same positive or negative attributes. Those attributes would include water and sewerage connection or the lack of, electrical connection or the lack of, and mature or immature landscaping, for example. Then, make a list of the prices that those lands are selling for along with clear notes that briefly describe each property.

Be attentive when making your comparisons. Be sure to take notice if, of two listed land parcels, the parcel that is higher priced is closer to city attractions, is close to a lake, or is in a specific city. This will give you an idea of what is more attractive to buyers and will help you to make a more informed estimate on what your property should be priced at.

Limit your search to listed land that has only been on the market six months or less. Because the real estate market is so closely connected with the economy, and because the trend of what is popular among buyers can change quickly, it’s best to focus on the most recent listings. You can even go a step further and check property records in your county for the final pricing of recently completed sales.

With all of the information that you collect, you should be able to determine what would be a reasonable and competitive price to market your land for. Even if you calculate an old fashioned average (by adding the pricings of five lots of land together, for example, and then dividing the total combined pricings by the simple number five), you can come up with a figure that satisfies you and potential buyers.

Another Option

If, for some reason, the task of researching comparables becomes too much for you, there is another option. Selling your land is still a possibility if you connect with a private land investor who will make you a cash offer. Some land investors, like Lucas Properties, LLC, are experienced in making cash offers while securing quick closing dates—which can save you time, effort, and energy. Additional benefits of this option include buyer paid closing costs and the dissolving of back property taxes and liens on your behalf.

So, as you begin this journey of selling your land, know that you are not alone. If you have any questions, the experts at Lucas Properties, LLC can answer your questions.

How To Sell Your Land Yourself

2011-10-03T19:09:00.000-07:00

The average person wouldn’t normally think of an athletic field, parade grounds or fairgrounds to be valuable parcels of land that hold monetary value or profit. Usually overshadowing that fact are the jumping cheerleaders waving shimmering pom-poms, the skilled sound of band instruments, or the refreshments stand. But, after the festivities are over—when the crowd has cleared and the excitement is yesterday’s memory—what is left is not desolate space but is treasure that can, potentially, become tangible and lucrative. So, if you’re the individual owner or are part of a collection of owners who can legally lay claim to a local baseball field, rarely used local park grounds, or any parcel of land that you’re looking to sell, here are a few basic tips on how to sell your land on your own.
Evaluate Your Perspective

Selling larger pieces of land can be just as easy as selling smaller pieces of land. Choose not to be intimidated as you consider the number of potential buyers who are interested in the type of land that you’re selling. Remember that nothing is impossible and starting out with a positive outlook can carry you all the way to a successful sale.

Choose Your Selling Method

In today’s market, there are two distinctive and popular methods in which to sell your land without a real estate agent. The first method is called ‘For Sale by Owner’ or FSBO by which you evaluate the pricing for which other land has sold in the area, set the specific sale price for your land, and advertise its availability for sale on your own terms. The second method includes hiring a private land investor who will assess your land and offer you a percentage of its fair market value for a guaranteed quick cash sale. (For further information on land sales to a private land investor, please contact Lucas Properties, LLC for monetary and title exchange details).
Consider Offering Financing

Of the difficulties that are common among buyers looking to purchase parcels of land, the inability to obtain sufficient financing is one. If you are able to offer financing with the terms of little or no down payment, you can enlarge your pool of potential buyers.

Remember that selling your land on your own is an excellent way to gain additional experience in the field of real estate and, too, can prove to be a money saving endeavor. Void of the normal fees and commission that would be paid to a real estate agent’s listing and selling services, it’s becoming a precedent and a trend where the participants are succeeding. And, if others can succeed… so can you!

Your Raw Land Has Value

2011-09-30T17:59:00.000-07:00

So, what is considered raw land? The answer to that could be as simple as untilled, undeveloped grounds outdoors. But the more detailed (yet, still simple) answer for that person who likes their news straight forward is: vacant lots in urban neighborhoods, empty desert land near Vegas, acres full of grass on rural roads, and the wood grounds behind your house that nobody ever wants to go into. Even, you wouldn’t follow your dog into it if she was Lassie—it’s just too scary. And that’s how raw, raw land can be. It’s quiet and uninhabited; it’s untouched. And just like all things that have never been touched, raw land has value in it.

How to Determine the Value of Your Raw Land

One of the easiest ways to assess the value of your land is to contact an expert land investor. A land investor has the knowledge, the experience, and the time to get a correct assessment of what your land is worth. Not only that, but if your interest in what your land is worth is because you’re looking to gain a profit from its value, the land investor will be able to offer you a cash settlement and an all-expenses-paid closing in a quick sale. That is, one where your liens, back property taxes, and closings costs are all paid for on your behalf.

If you’re more of a do-it-yourselfer, you can contact your county’s assessor’s office on your own. But, keep in mind that the assessor’s office’s land values will be based on a figure that is eighteen to twenty-four months behind the actual value of your land. And, though, this isn’t necessarily information that is as helpful as it could be, the assessor’s office is still good to compare the value of other recent land sales in your area. If you’re willing to do the research, you can use that information to try and estimate what yours might be worth, too.

If you want to avoid making phone calls to government offices and hope to be able to rely on a professional to tell you what you need to know, you can seek counsel from a realtor who can inform you of what the fair market value of your land is.

Or, lastly, consulting a professional appraiser is also an option. An appraiser will take data from both the assessor’s office plus recent sales in your area and officially calculate the value of your land for you.

Whichever route you take, know that knowledge is power. And, in this case, knowledge can equal cash!

The Benefits and Drawbacks of Owning Raw Land

2011-09-26T17:51:00.000-07:00

Raw land is unemployed property; it is land that is currently undeveloped and isn’t regularly used for personal or business purposes. It is void of utilities, sewers, streets, structures and buildings. Owning raw land can be a great venture or it can be a disappointing one. It’s a great one if you have a foreseeable plan for development and the budget to bring it to pass. It isn’t so great if the opposite is true and you’re facing the reality that it is producing absolutely no income for you and lacks benefit.
If you had or have plans to develop your raw land, it is true that the path of progress can many times experience hurdles and obstacles to overcome. Nevertheless, it’s always wise to evaluate, from time to time, your development plans and determine your next step; whether they will remain the same or will be changed is the decision to be made. Here are some pros and cons to consider:
Pros
• Raw land has great potential to appreciate if functional and useful development can be achieved.
• If you’re developing for non-personal reasons, subdividing can add value to your land and increase the possibility of speedy profit.
• You can potentially create and leave an inheritance to your children in property and/or business.

Cons
• The pit fall of negative cash flow occurs commonly. Negative cash flow is the definition of your making payments on the land—including interest and taxes—but you never experience income or profit from your investment.
• Tax advantages are often scanty on raw land.
• Generally, raw land is widely viewed as an investment that takes a long time to gain returns from; especially, because individuals and small businesses don’t often have the capital to build that big businesses or corporations find advantageous.
Based on your decision concerning your land, there are two paths that you can take. To develop your land, you should contact an expert land developer who will walk you through the process of molding your land into your vision; this will include community research, architectural plans, engineering tests, and approval from governmental agencies in your area. If you’ve resolved that the best decision you can make is to sell your raw land for profit, you should contact an expert land investor who will offer you quick cash closing for your land; and, additionally, someone who will offer you the benefit of paying your liens, back taxes, and closing costs is best.

School Supplies, Field Trips, and Selling Your Land

2011-09-23T19:45:00.000-07:00

The Fall Season brings a fresh new perspective on change. With its cozy, cuddly weather and beautiful scenery, the feeling of starting anew exists not only in the change of the atmosphere but in the chance for your kids to enjoy school better than ever before. By now, most parents across the country have received the much anticipated school supply lists distributed by preschool teachers, approved by elementary school principles, and voted on by high school boards of education. And, not to forget, the mandatory college bookstore shopping trip that nearly every professor demands.

With backpacks in tow from just a few full days of school, your excited child may have already brought home the school agenda for the year’s field trips, dances, sports and after school clubs. And, in turn, you may have already devised a master plan to keep the whole family well-rested, well-fed, and well-organized in spite of it all. However, now you might find that you need a master plan to keep the gas tank filled in route to every soccer practice and the funds available for all of the cheer wear that the coach requires your daughter to twirl and somersault in at the big games—skirts, skorts, shorts and pom poms are all needed!

Well, keeping up with the Jones’ (or the cheerleaders) is easier to accomplish than you think. You see, most people think of selling their land as a distressed property solution; however, it can also be used as a means to profit and gain extra cash for foreseen necessities and activities. With the opportunity to accept an offer from a private land investor given for your unused land, you could potentially open up a door of freedom from the things you thought would financially strap you this school year. When you sell your land to a land investor, you cut the time that you have to wait for a potential buyer from the MLS to become interested in your land down to seven days. That’s because, upon accepting an offer, you would actually close on the sale of your property in seven days! Additionally, any liens or property taxes that were your debt will be paid for on your behalf. And, too, transferring your land title will be done and filed promptly and accurately by the land investor. With a hassle free negotiation process, an expert dotting all of the I’s and crossing all of the T’s, and quick cash in your hand, chances are you could be the happiest parent at the upcoming PTA meeting!

Don’t Let Your Medical Bills Bury You: Sell Your Land and Get Back on Top!

2011-09-20T19:41:00.000-07:00

You’re probably really grateful if you have health insurance; especially, if you recently made an unexpected trip to the emergency room. Thankful for the treatment available to you but unnerved about the co-pay for the trip that you’ll have to pay, you might be cringing every time you see the mail carrier in your neighborhood. Unfortunately, it’s not an uncommon occurrence for people to dread the delivery of their mail or the answering of their telephone when a medical bill or medical bills (with an‘s’) start pouring in.

If you’re someone who owns land—even unused, undeveloped land—that you no longer wish to hold onto, you can consider selling your land for cash profit that can help you to pay your medical expenses. An expert land investor, like Lucas Properties LLC, will be able to offer you 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land; which could prove to be more value to you than you’ve been getting out of the land while it sits barren of development. While most medical billing companies will make courtesy attempts at communicating with you about your debt for, at least, 30 days or more, you could have cash in your hand to make a payment or make payment arrangements with the hospital or your doctor’s office within 7 days. Yes, it’s really that simple.
And, not only that, but you can potentially eliminate any debt you owe in association with the land; for example, liens and property taxes would be paid on your behalf as part of the sale. Really! So, don’t fret any longer about paying for an x-ray or flu shot or, even, an ambulance ride.

How to Sell Land Quickly?

2011-09-16T19:07:00.000-07:00

Raw land selling is a challenge in today’s troubled market and selling land quickly is even trickier. To sell land quickly you need to find a buyer who is willing to buy your single piece of your real estate at a great price and who is ready to buy, today. Finding a willing buyer can prove to be a most difficult task. That’s why sellers should have a full grasp on the state of the current real estate market.
If you want to sell land quickly, as a seller it is imperative that you relinquish all emotional attachment to the property. Quick sales aren’t guided by emotion. They are guided by smart decisions and fast answers. Fast land buyers aren’t looking to hear the story about your pap or nan and they definitely don’t care what family memories lie in the fields surrounding the property. Land isn’t personal when you need a fast land sale.
Additionally you need to evaluate the market condition of your property. Right pricing for your land for sale is one of the biggest keys to success. So, before you price your raw land, you need to understand evaluate the prices of properties in the area and look at the prices other sellers are fetching for their properties. Understand however that because you need to sell land quickly, you will likely have to under price your property to sell.
If you want to sell land quickly, you need to under price your land. This means you need to set price below the market value of land. Most fast land buyers and private land investors only make offers that are less than 50% of fair market value on a property. This is where your need for a fast land sale may also mean not getting all that you had hoped for the property.
It helps a lot when you need to sell land quickly if you contact the buyers directly. This is a great way to know if the buyers are serious about the purchase or if they are just wasting your already limited selling time. Most private land investors will give you a free, no obligation offer for your land and will close the deal on your property within 7 days.

Impossible Inheritance? Try this Distressed Property Solution

2011-09-13T13:48:00.000-07:00

So, you’re loving uncle left you an inheritance; a vast piece of farmland in a rural city 87 miles away from your home. You’re extremely touched, and you even try to fathom how you could physically and financially manage this hefty gift between work, soccer practice, Girl Scout meetings, and parent-teacher conferences. Oh! And, too, on a one household income. Try as you might (in your mind); it just seems that his dreams of grandeur for flourishing corn fields and crops doesn’t quite fit your lifestyle. In fact, what would fit your lifestyle is a cash profit that could start your children’s savings accounts in pursuit of a higher education. And, honestly, college bound, is what your uncle wanted your children to be.
So, with that said—and considering that you can’t very well tend to a raw land sale in person—your next step might be to contact a private land investor. A private land investor is someone who will offer you a small percentage of the fair market value of your land, and will schedule a closing date to put cash in your hand within seven days’ time. You would not be responsible for closing costs or for the expert knowledge necessary to complete title work in that county. Additionally, if your uncle owed monies in liens or property taxes, they would be paid for you. Seriously! So, don’t fret any longer over acres that you may never set foot on. Instead, put that energy into caring for your children and their future. Put that energy into telling them about all of your favorite moments with your uncle…

2011-09-09T13:53:00.000-07:00

Most tasks in life can seem daunting especially when you have a busy life. The very prospect of adding another ‘to-do’ to your agenda can make you long for quiet nights in front of the television or long vacation days in the Caribbean.

They are things that don’t take up much of your time, attention, or energy; and, too, things that don’t eat up your money. Believe it or not, such ‘fantasy’ responsibilities include things like washing your car, grocery shopping and buying life insurance; even, selling your raw land. Yes! It’s absolutely true. Chances are that some business savvy citizen in your city owns and operates a mobile car wash—someone who can come to your home and wash your car while you’re in the middle of watching Monday Night Football.

Don’t stress another day that you felt too tired to stop by the market after a long work day and two traffic jams! Use the internet to get a free quote and purchase life insurance without ever having to speak with anyone.

Well, this is one experience where you won’t come out of pocket to cover debt, fees and expenses. In fact, they would be paid for you. Too good to be true? Not so!

Tips On Selling Raw Land

2011-09-05T19:19:00.000-07:00

Raw land refers to a piece of land that has no buildings and improvements. This type of land is very difficult to sell. Here are some methods that could help in selling your raw land.
Know Your Buyers
Before selling your raw land you need to be sure of what types of buyers are going to be interested in your raw land. It will help in determining what kind of advertising you need. If you are selling land to people with commercial interests then focus on people involved in real estate and developers. By understanding the intention of various buyers you will be able to make the most convincing sale to them.
Subdivision
If you have piece of land which is large enough then you should consider subdividing. For this purpose you need to hire a surveyor. He will help you in determining the boundary lines of your land. This way you can easily go through the legalities of your land and future parcels with clear division already detailed. After a subdivision you can sell the desired piece of land and keep the rest.
Auctions
You can consider selling land through an auction if you are interested in selling your land quickly and possibly taking a loss on the property. Through conventional channels you may not get the high price of your land and there is no guarantee with an auction that you will get the best price either. However the competitive nature of auctions lends itself to this kind of bid war. You can even sell your land through online auctions. For this purpose, you need to make a video of your land instead of picture and put it on the web. Pictures can’t give the real sense of raw land.
Real Estate Investors
One of the fastest ways to sell your land quickly and with the least amount of hassle is to find real estate investors that perform this type of transaction regularly. Commonly people hire real estate investors to sell their lands because it is the easiest and fastest way to sell your raw land. Real estate investors usually pay around 20% of the market value for a property.

Had a Change of Events? Sell Your Land for Cash

2011-09-02T19:00:00.000-07:00

There are some special moments in life that are just plain bigger and more memorable than others. Those moments are the same moments that make you, both, smile and cry without thought. You need no real explanation, and everyone understands. No, it’s not difficult to guess the top two events that leave people everywhere in an emotional state of joy and vulnerability. Those would be weddings and the births of babies! Either one of both of these events might be scheduled to take center stage in your life in a number of days. And both events mean that you have to make adjustments in your life. Not only might that include changing your lifestyle and making wiser decisions; it also might include changing where you live.

You might be one of those savvy business bachelors or bachelorettes, for example, who purchased raw land with the plans to develop it. Maybe you were going to build a house on it or a commercial building for a small business endeavor. Whatever the case may be, somehow you managed to meet the most perfect companion or create the most perfect bundle of joy… and, happily, your plans have changed! They’re different or bigger or better now! And that means that you have to let go of the land that you purchased. Well, before you hire a real estate agent to list and sell your land on the MLS—which could take more time and energy than you’re willing to sacrifice out of your new life—you should consider selling your land to a private land investor.

Lucas Properties, LLC is an expert land investor who can save you time and money that you can spend on the enjoyment of your growing family. By making you a cash offer on your land and securing a closing date within seven days’ time, selling your raw land can be a breeze. Not only will it be a breeze, it will be a load off of your shoulders if you owe liens or property taxes—because those debts will be paid for you!

There's a Distressed Property Solution For You

2011-08-29T18:54:00.000-07:00

Everyone feels like what problems they face are unique to them or their own household. And when you’re facing the possibility of losing your family home, you might feel more afraid and stressed than you have ever felt before; especially, if you have a spouse, children, or an elderly parent that you’re financially responsible for. Well, decide not to worry anymore. Instead, check out these proposed solutions to find which might work best for you.

A Distressed Property Solution
Many people have lost their homes due to past due mortgage payments or delinquent property taxes. Usually, the delinquency isn’t in excess of only a couple thousand dollars before the threat of being evicted becomes very real. If this is your situation, you are in need of a distressed property solution. Your mortgage company may approve you for a mortgage forbearance agreement due to a temporary financial hardship; including unemployment and health issues. A mortgage forbearance agreement puts a halt on foreclosure by decreasing the amount of money that you pay for your mortgage each month for a period of time, while helping you to catch up on the past due amount. Or, it can temporarily put a hold on your mortgage payments all together. With the recent foreclosure upset, many mortgage companies and banks have improved or reinvented the way that they do business with customers. Contact your mortgage company to find out how they may be able to help you—they won’t know you need assistance unless you tell them.

Another option to explore lies in contacting an expert private investor. If you’re someone who owns a home or raw land—such as, a vacant lot next to your home or undeveloped land elsewhere—a private investor will offer to buy your land for a cash profit in your favor. It’s possible that the proceeds from the sale of your property might be enough to cover your mortgage delinquencies. Choosing this option is becoming a precedent among homeowners because the financial pressure of the sale on personal pocketbooks is non-existent and, actually, provides relief. That’s because a private real estate investor will purchase your land or home in any condition, pay any past due property taxes and liens on the property on your behalf, and pay your closing costs. Contact Lucas Properties, LLC for further information on how you can sell your land or home and close for profit within seven days’ time.

Treasury Department Payment Plans
Believe it or not, the city in which you live actually does NOT want for you to lose your house due to back taxes and liens on your property. As intimidating as the Treasury Department may seem, your City Treasurer will probably be open to your participating in a tax installment agreement in which you can pay your past due property taxes like a bill each month. Granting you this privilege as opposed to foreclosing on your house helps to reduce the city’s property management costs. Contact your City Treasurer today for details. You might find that things look better than thought!

Sell Your Land to a Private Land Investor

2011-08-27T09:25:00.000-07:00

Some might say that finding a good private land investor to sell your raw land to is a daunting task. Their speculation exists because most of these experts will not offer you more than 5%-25% of the fair market value of your land. In any other forum, that might seem like a disadvantageous deal. But, fortunately, there are more advantages to this type of sale than meets the eye.

No Waiting
Your wait time to sell your land is limited. When selling to a private land investor like Lucas Properties, LLC, for example, seven is the number of days you’ll wait to close on the sale of your land. This is beneficial because many people have waited six months or more for the right potential buyer to become interested enough to make an offer on their raw land when listed on the MLS. With a fast closing date, you can take your profit and take care of your needs as soon as possible.

No Closing Costs to Pay
You will not be charged for the cost or expense of closing and transferring the title deed to your land. Besides, the basic expenses charged for closing, sometimes buyers ask for the seller to pay a partial percentage of their closing cost. With this type of sale, you don’t incur any out-of-pocket expense.

No Property Taxes or Liens to Pay
Upon closing, you are no longer responsible to pay past or future property taxes. Nor are you responsible to pay liens. These bills will be paid for you, and your name will be cleared of these debts owed.

Cash Payment
You’ll receive a cash payment for the settlement of the sale of your land. That’s money that you can instantly use to pay medical expenses, household bills, or purchase everyday necessities.

Remember that, when weighing the pros and cons between which private land investor to sell your land to, (at least) these things should be a priority on your list of must-have benefits. That way, you’ll come through your sale with a testimony that others will greatly appreciate.

It’s the Perfect Time to Sell Your Raw Land!

2011-08-24T18:04:00.000-07:00

It’s time for Fall Cleaning! Yes, the sister to every household’s Spring Cleaning weekend is fast approaching. With the first day of school drawing nearer, there’s nothing more satisfying than getting rid of the old and starting fresh with the new. Your plans might include the obvious: clean out the kids’ closets of all they’ve outgrown, evaluate whether or not you’ll need a new pair of winter boots, and chuck that old sun faded summer wreath that dressed your front door all of those days that you were happy you had a pool (or a nearby water park).

For some people, cleaning in preparation for a new season is going to go far beyond sweeping out the attic and stocking up on school supplies. It’s going to be a cleaning of their life—of bad relationships, old paperwork, expired condiments and any and everything that might hinder them from moving forward anew. Some people are going to get out of their junk cars (though, they were always grateful to get from point A to point B) and into shiny new automobiles. Some people are going to sell their too small houses that can no longer hold their growing families, and settle into spacious new digs. Others are going to sell boats that sit lonely at an isolated dock and others are going to let go of the empty, vacant land itself that is home to said dock.

With everything—big or small—you have to have a plan. And, whether you know it or not, some plans can be simpler to implement than you ever imagined. If you are the kind of person who thinks that selling your raw land, for example, is a complicated feat, there is good news for you. To take the sting out of negotiations and paperwork, a good private land investor can ease your anxieties and your fears by taking on your efforts as her own and expertly handling all of the red tape for you. She will offer you 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land, and offer you a closing date within seven days’ time—this virtually eliminates the wait time that you would have if you sold your land traditionally on the real estate market. Plus, she would pay your liens, property taxes, closing costs and fees associated with the sale; even, pay you cash in hand so that you can quickly get about the business of the rest of your Fall Cleaning. And, perhaps your annual fall shopping spree or your advance Christmas shopping.

For more details on how you can sell your raw land quickly and hassle free, contact Lucas Properties LLC for expert advice.

Sell Your Land and Go Back To School!

2011-08-22T09:22:00.000-07:00

So, you’ve desired to go back to school for ages, it seems. What’s been standing in your way all of these years? If it wasn’t your completely selfless and generous choice to put others first that put a hold on your plans, it was probably the money factor that became your road block. Instinctively (and rightly so), you may have chosen to pay your children’s school tuition over yours, your elderly mother’s car insurance premium instead, or—in light of the financial hardships many have recently faced—your rent or mortgage. But, now, for some reason, you’re ready to put on your academic thinking cap in pursuit of scholarly advance.

There are usually one or two things that motivate a person to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of their walk across the coveted graduation stage in view of their family and friends. One, an opportunity of available time and focus has presented itself—prime opportunity to enroll and move forward. Or, two, things just don’t look so good and the motivation to do what it takes to make them improve has become overwhelming.

Funding your future semesters in college is not as difficult as it may seem. There are different options that you can explore when it comes to paying your tuition.

Student Loans and Grants
Qualifying for a student loan or grant with the federal government may be easier than you expect. With the government encouraging scores of people to consider acquiring more education and training to increase household income, a student loan or government grant might be available to you. Contact the school that you are interested in attending for financial aid information and to begin the application process.

Personal Loans
Whether you know it or not, you might know someone personally who is just as emotionally invested in your college education as you are. Someone who might be willing to become financially invested as well. A personal loan for the down payment on a school approved payment plan or a check for a semester’s tuition might be something that a friend or family member would be happy to give you; either, as funds that you’ll later repay or as a gift.

Sell Something of Value
Depending on the tuition rate of the college you’ll be attending, you may be able to sell something of value that you own that may partially or fully cover your college expenses. You can consider selling big items that you don’t use that will produce good profit like automobiles or other vehicles, jewelry or gems, houses or land. Via internet classified sites, for example, you can reach thousands of potential buyers who are looking for what you have to sell. However, to sell land, a good private land investor is your best option. For further information on how you can receive an offer from Lucas Properties, LLC, click on the We Buy Land tab, today!

All Grown Up… And Selling Your Raw Land!

2011-08-20T17:59:00.000-07:00

Growing older and becoming a parent changes your physical attributes, life perspective, and financial goals. If you were the type of person who loved to hang out with friends, stay out all night and eat cold pizza for breakfast, parenthood has probably turned you into a completely different person. Today, you’re probably someone who hangs out regularly at the toddler park—the hip and happening spot—and calls it a night at eight-thirty when your kids fall out pooped from a fun-filled day of cartoons and trips to the potty. Instead of using your funds for a grossly overpriced pair of shoes (the cutest and most fabulous pair, by the way) or an expensive upgrade to your car’s stereo system, you discover that you find a great sense of accomplishment and responsibility for directing your thoughts and your cash towards life insurance policies, college funds and investment portfolios. Somehow, you have learned the discipline of doing without—not necessarily because you have to but because you want to. You want to leave an inheritance to your children and your grandchildren that will either match or far surpass the state of the financial life you experienced growing up.

One of the ways that you can do this is to sell your unused or unwanted assets towards reaching a financial goal; a goal to invest more in the stock market or to start a wedding fund to pay for your child’s future nuptials, for example. You might even endeavor to jumpstart a retirement fund for their child while he or she is still in diapers. And while this may seem unreasonable to some, there is no financial goal that you can’t achieve without the right planning and making the right moves.

So, What Can You Sell?
People all over are selling unused or unwanted collector’s items, jewelry, clothing and shoes, electronics, boats and automobiles, homes, and land; including raw land that is beach front, lakefront or no front at all! That’s vacant lots, farmlands, ranches, and hunting grounds, too. A plethora of valuable merchandise on one level or another.

Sit down and assess what of your assets you wouldn’t mind or would even feel blessed to do without. For example, owning an acre of land in a rural community may seem like a treasure on paper but, in actuality, the liens you owe on it never fail to turn your smile into a frown, the property taxes threaten to put a dent in your pocketbook (which is the very opposite of what you’re trying to achieve), and the sheer energy that it takes to maintain is something you lose every time your bundle of joy wakes like clockwork at 3am… every night. So, if your empty square footage of heaven isn’t really all that heavenly for you, you might want to consider selling it. For expert advice and a cash offer on your land, contact Lucas Properties LLC for more details.

Tips on Selling Raw Land

2011-08-17T17:39:00.000-07:00

Raw land is more difficult to appraise because it is more difficult to sell and finance. So, before you sell your raw land, you need to measure all uncertainties associated with undeveloped land that bring the price down. You need to conduct entitlement approvals, soils studies, engineering, financing and permits for building anything on your land. You can estimate the associated cost and timelines.
However, the entitlement process can take years to complete. If you don’t have time to wait that long, you can do soil studies. Get a professional planner that could prepare a land use analysis. The analysis could include identifying the zoning parameters and opinions what should be approved on the site. This way, buyers can confidently invest in your land by gauging risk and gain.
The buyers who don’t have entitlements often choose to sell under an option. They usually set a price based on certain anticipated developments. The property is usually locked up with an option during the entitlement process. If your entitlement process gets approved then you can sell your property at the anticipated price and if it fails, you can negotiate your property price down.
As you can see from all of the above selling tips for your raw land, the process may be difficult. The simple and easiest way to sell your raw land is to private land investors like Lucas Properties, llc. Lucas Properties provide distressed property solutions that provide the best way out of your financial troubles. You can sell your raw land in a very quick manner.

Decided to Buy Your Home Instead of Build It? Well, Sell Your Raw Land!

2011-08-09T19:05:00.000-07:00

So, you bought good raw land a few years ago—a lot near the heart of the city, a couple of acres on the outskirts of town, or a few thousand square feet of tranquility on the edge of a quiet lake. At the time, your plans included building a home from scratch; you were looking forward to sitting down with an architect and builder, picking out the countertops and backsplash for your massive kitchen, and deciding where you would put your new flat screen TV. But, somehow, you got really busy. And days of delay turned into months and years while your family grew, the time you once had you now divide happily between your loved ones, and your new agenda is now to buy a house instead.

Chances are that you’ve already made the decision to sell your raw land on your new mission to find the perfect home on the MLS. After all, it is practical to take that money that you’ve been spending on property taxes and upkeep for your raw land and invest it into property that you’ll be living in and enjoying. With that in mind, what should be on your checklist for making this big move?

Assess Your Needs
Today would be a great time to sit down with your loved ones and assess what you need as individuals and as a family unit. How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need? Does anyone in your family work from home and is in need of an office space? Would you all prefer a traditional home with formal room spaces or would you prefer an open floor plan? It’s important to keep in mind that neighborhood atmosphere and demographics are important to your family’s mood and well-being too; it’s up to you to decide whether you’ll thrive better in a quiet, cozy neighborhood full of school aged children or in a bustling urban setting, for example.

Sell Your Raw LandSell your raw land and sell it quickly in order to cover some of the closing costs for your new place. There’s one good way to sell your land quickly and many reasons to do so. Sell to a private land investor and you’ll gain pros (not cons) in these areas: you won’t have a lengthy waiting period for a potential buyer via the MLS to show interest in your land, you won’t be responsible for the payments of liens that you might owe on your land, and you won’t foot the bill for closing costs or title changes. Additionally, with private land investors like Lucas Properties LLC, you will close within one week’s time.

Hire a Real Estate Agent
A real estate agent is educated and experienced in locating and walking you through the purchase of a home. Acting as a buffer for you, your realtor will act in your best interest by keeping builder’s agents from taking advantage of you or pressuring you into making a hasty offer to purchase. With neighborhood and networking knowledge, chances are that your realtor will have inside information on neighborhoods that you favor and, perhaps, even first dibs on a new property on the market.

Now is the perfect time to make your next move into the next awesome phase of your life. Hopefully, with these simple steps, you’ll make that transition easily, successfully, and happily!

Medical Expenses Piling Up? Sell Your Land for Cash!

2011-08-06T18:57:00.000-07:00

Believe it or not, there are people who avoid the doctor’s office like it’s the plague. If they, somehow, manage to talk themselves into making the appointments that they so desperately need but so desperately try to avoid, it’s the appointment reminders that will send them into a state of dread and discontent. Well, what are they dreading? And what makes them discontent? It isn’t the smiling receptionist or the doctor with the incredible bedside manner that causes them to want to make a bee line towards the nearest exit. More than likely, it’s the co-pays, the cost of prescriptions and those extra little medical expenses that make them want to run, run, and run in the opposite direction! No one likes to be in debt. But with health insurance companies making changes to policies that don’t always necessarily favor the pocket books of many people, more and more patients are ignoring or living with their ailments for too long just to avoid out-of-pocket expense. And that just shouldn’t be.

Fortunately, some of those same people (perhaps, even, you) who are overwhelmed by a stack of medical bills (real or potential) from routine check-ups and unexpected sicknesses are, also, the owners of unused, undeveloped city, suburban or rural land. From vacant city lots to beach front properties void of established homes, there are many people who are rich in the assets of square footage and soil.

It’s quite easy to cash in on those assets if you know where to turn. A private land investor is an expert in the field of assessing and negotiating the sale of raw land. Equipped with the knowledge necessary to complete paperwork and tie up loose ends, investors like this are able to eliminate the hassles that sellers usually encounter with this type of sale. If you’re interested in selling your land to a private land investor, keep in mind that you will not receive the full value of your land. Generally, 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land will be paid to you in cash within seven day’s time. Additionally, your liens, property taxes, closing costs and other expenses will be paid on your behalf—you would be completely free from the money that you owed or would owe on the land. And that’s great news if you don’t plan to develop your raw land and have no interest in using it. The cash that you receive ‘sooner than later’ from a raw land sale versus an MLS sale can help you to pay down or pay off your medical expenses NOW.

For more information about selling your land for fast cash, please contact Lucas Properties LLC. You can receive a ‘no obligations’ offer for your land.

The Pros and Cons of Selling Your Raw Land

2011-08-05T19:29:00.000-07:00

There are a number of pros and cons associated with one of the most popular types of property that appeal to private land investors nationwide—raw land! The good thing is, most people find (and you might, too) that the cons don’t outweigh the pros. And, in fact, the cons highlight just how magnificently pleasing the pros are. So, that being said, lets start with those pesky drawbacks.

The Cons
• Raw, undeveloped land profits $0. That’s right. Nothing. Nada. As it sits there—either beautifully or tragically distracting—it doesn’t profit you in cash flow or necessity. Yet, very easily, it can cost you in time, energy and money; that is, time and energy to maintain it, and the cost of upkeep, liens and property taxes.
• Because amortization of land versus depreciation is common, tax advantages are far and few between.
• In the world of real estate, raw land is usually considered a bad liquid investment because it takes a substantial amount of time to experience gains.
• The risk of loss on the resale of your raw land can be high if you don’t negotiate the details properly.
• Borrowing against accrued equity or receiving financing on raw land is more difficult than it is with traditional real estate.

The Pros
• Owning raw land can give you a sense of pride and hope; if you’re seriously willing to develop it, you can, in the end, experience the feeling of accomplishment and self-fulfillment.
• If you’re in the market to buy raw land (as opposed to already being the owner of raw land), you may be able to acquire financing with the seller at low market rates.
• Despite the odds, appreciation of value can be achieved if you can map out and implement a plan for the land that is functional, useful, and appealing; that is, a residential home, a needed business for the community, or a children’s park, for example.
• Subdividing your raw land can increase your chance for speedy returns.

It’s a wise decision to consider both the pros and cons of owning this kind of property. Keeping your name on the title deed of your raw land might be beneficial to you and your needs. On the other hand, if you find that you’d be better without the responsibilities that raw land proposes, you should consider selling it to a private land investor. A good private land investor is your one stop shop for all things convenient in real estate. If you’d like to sell your land quickly, if you’d like to get out from under liens and property taxes, if you’d like cash in your hand fast, contact Lucas Properties LLC today to receive a cash offer on your land.

Make Your Next Big Financial Move: Sell Your Land Fast

2011-08-01T19:13:00.000-07:00

Are you concerned about our country’s economic issues? A little rattled by what’s going on in Washington? Maybe, you’re still reeling from our President’s most recent address to the nation about the details of our debt. Well, the truth is, you wouldn’t be alone if what you’ve recently learned has caused you to be more concerned about your financial future and that of your loved ones.

Like millions of Americans, you’re probably motivated to secure your tomorrow, your next month, and your next year more than you’ve ever been. And whether you’re driven by the state of the economy or you’re simply buckling down and doing what your father taught you to do, you’re on the right path. If you’re looking for an idea on how to grow your finances and the capital to do it, take a look at what some are already doing.

Begin to Build an Investment Portfolio
These days, you don’t have to be an advanced day trader to build a wealthy investment portfolio. Online financial websites like E*Trade and Scottrade, for example, offer the convenience and affordability of online investing in the stock market, mutual funds, bonds, etc. Most sites like these will provide you with valuable information regarding planning and implementing your financial goals; even, retirement goals. And, with those things said, you’re probably wondering where you would find the money outside of your current budget to do that. Well, a growing practice among people is the gathering up and selling of extra assets that aren’t being put to use. That could include a hot rod that you no longer pay any attention to, a jewelry box full of unworn gold and gems, or an empty lot on a well-traveled rural road. If you’re truly looking to gain capital for the greater good of your future, you can sell your hotrod to someone who would love and care for it, sell your jewels to a vintage loving bride-to-be, and sell your land to a private land investor.

Truly, if you listed your hot rod for sale in the classifieds section of the newspaper, it would probably sell in a flash. There’s a chance that your jewelry would surely be hot stuff on Ebay. And a good private land investor, like Lucas Properties LLC, could make you a quick offer on your raw land. Most private land investors offer 5% to 25% of the fair market value of raw land; but, Lucas Properties LLC also offers to pay your liens, property taxes, and closing costs. Also, with a guaranteed closing of seven days or less, you’ll have cash—CAPITAL—in your hand in no time. Go ahead. Make your next move towards a secure financial future.

Turn Your Raw Land Into Cash

2011-07-28T14:41:00.000-07:00

Few people have the luxury of saying that they own prime, undeveloped raw land. Of all the assets that most people own, waterfront property and hunting grounds certainly aren’t high up on the list. But, if you’re one of those people who can say, “Hey, I’ve got an acre of sandy beach in my name”, then you’re at an advantage. You probably think that the advantage you have lies only in the choice to pack up the family for a weekend camping trip under the stars—while you do a little fishing on the side. But, that raw, undeveloped land that you only use on those very rare occasions can actually be turned into profit for you to use now. That’s right. If your finances are in need of a boost, you can sell your raw land. Here’s how to do it.
Hire a Real Estate AgentHiring a real estate agent means that your land will be placed on the MLS (Multiple Listing System). It will be seen by brokers and agents alike who will search the system via the worldwide web seeking property that might suit their clients’ needs. The advantage of this method is that the public, itself, will also have access to search for and view your land for sale via the internet and photographs that your agent will post online; this will increase your prospects. The disadvantage of this method is that most people, on average, are looking for actual homes or commercial property to buy. That means that you could have a long wait before that perfect buyer comes along to buy your land.
Sell Your Land YourselfYou could invest in a yard sized or billboard sized advertisement, advertising your land for sale to passers-by. You could negotiate the terms yourself. However, you need to be well-informed about the details of your land; including the location of property lines and utility accessibility, for example. Choosing this method means that you would need to do your research with the county in which you live on how to successfully complete your private sale. You would also need to pay off any liens or property taxes on the land as soon as possible and prior to closing.
Choose a Private Land InvestorThe easiest and fastest way to sell your land is via a private land investor. Land investors, like Lucas Properties LLC, will assess your land and offer you a percentage of its fair market value in cash. Additionally, liens, property taxes, closing fees, and additional expenses related to your sale would be paid for on your behalf. And with a closing date that extends no more than a week’s time, you could have cash in your hand in no time at all.
So, with these three options in mind, you can certainly make an informed decision about how to increase your cash flow--and quickly. Congratulations, in advance, on selling your land!

Put Cash In Your Hand...In Seven Days!

2011-07-25T14:35:00.000-07:00

Hey, there. Yes. You! Why are you holding onto your raw land? Of course, you don’t know why. You’re not exactly in the business of real estate. But, by virtue of inheritance or purchasing power, you own good, undeveloped, raw, unused land. In fact, the only souls using it are the ones that scurry across it to bury their winter stash of nuts. You’ve got a prize on your hands but, essentially, you’re probably thinking, “What I need is an increase in my wallet”. Well, we’ve all been there before. And since investors are focusing their scope on available land throughout the country, that puts you at a major advantage to be able to sell your land for cash.
It’s a tedious task for the average person to find the best potential buyer to sell their land to. And it can be scary entering into negotiations with someone who may be more educated in raw land exchanges than you are. That’s where a private land investor can be the most beneficial to you. A private land investor will buy your land from you and make it available to developers without you having to do any of the leg work. And because the assessment of your land to determine its value is the first thing that needs to be done, a private land investor will do a sales comparison of all the raw land in your area, and note comparables. When this is done, they will be able to offer you 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land. (Consider that this is a very good profit weighed against the odds that you don’t plan on developing or using your land).

Sell Your Raw Land for Fast College Cash

2011-07-23T18:31:00.000-07:00

Due to these hard economic times, everyone has a lack of money to fulfill their needs. There is a high rate of unemployment from the past decades. Currently, a number of people are unemployed; they don’t even have money to provide for an education for their kids. They want to educate their children but, due to their financial situation, they can’t afford college.
However, there are many ways to help pay for your kid’s college education. You can apply for a loan, or you can sell any useless property you may have. A useless property can be anything that you have inherited or you may have purchased previously. It can be a home, land, building, or just plain old raw land.
Yes, raw land. You can sell your raw land. Raw land is often useless for many people because they don’t have enough money for construction, or sometimes they don’t have money for the maintenance of raw land. So, if this is the case, then why don’t you think to sell it?
It would be great if you sell your useless piece of raw land and spend that money on an education for your kids. Your kids need education but your raw land needs money for maintenance. So, what is better decision to make, your kid’s education or to keep that useless piece of land?
The choice is yours. You need to decide about your child’s future. A piece of raw land can be bought again but you can’t buy your kids future over. So go ahead, get a fair cash offer and have the money you need to provide your child with the best education possible. A private land investor can provide the best solution to your financial needs.

The Benefits of Selling Your Raw Land to a Private Investor

2011-07-22T13:54:00.000-07:00

Using a private land investor to sell your raw land to could be a good solution for you. While taking advantage of the convenience of cutting out the middle man that is a broker or real estate agent, you could save yourself the money that it would take to pay out a commission; which means that you would get the full negotiated price for your land. And that is always good.
Whereas, otherwise, it would be your responsibility to pay off liens, property taxes, and other expenses associated with your unused land, a good private land investor like Lucas Properties LLC would cover all costs for you. Now, that’s a bonus that everyone can fall in love with. A land investor has expansive knowledge about assessing land and transferring land titles--you can be sure that all the I’s will be dotted and all of the T’s will be crossed. And, too, details such as buyer demographics, utility accessibility to your land, and soil type, for example, wouldn’t be your responsibility to know. However, the one caveat of choosing this now popular method is that you will not gain profit from your land at full market value. That’s partly due to the rising cost of inflation. But, at 5% to 25% of the price of your land’s fair market value in your bank account, you could count it to be a substantial profit—especially, if you’re accustomed to not using your land and it’s been costing you money that you don’t really have.
So, if you’re looking to sell your land, if you’re looking for a quick closing date, and you’re looking for cash now, weigh your options and consider the benefits of selling your land to a private land investor. Be it farmland, a vacant lot, or waterfront property, all land has value and all land is profitable.

Got Land! Get Cash!

2011-07-19T13:47:00.000-07:00

If you were to ask, “Who could use some extra money?” the show of hands would be record breaking. You wouldn’t be able to number the waving, wiggling fingers that would shoot up into the air hoping to grab your attention—just in case you were feeling particularly generous that day. Most people can honestly say that, with decreasing interest rates on some 401Ks and other financial accounts plus the rising cost of everyday necessities, a little extra cash would definitely come in handy. Acquainted with comforts and having an admirable habit of planning ahead for the future, most parents and even non baby-boomers alike are smart enough to know that cash on hand for life’s necessities and emergencies is a remarkable convenience. And sometimes, too, a life saver.

One of the ways that people locate extra money in their life is by selling their raw land. In a lot of cases, they do so because a need arises and the cost to fill that need doesn’t fit within their present budget. Well, whether it is a daughter’s wedding set to take place one year from now, a pile of medical bills from your recent extended stay at the local hospital, or a need to supplement income after a job loss, selling your unused land could be an ideal solution for you and your family.

Selling directly to a buyer or, a private land investor is the most beneficial method to use if you’re looking to cut or eliminate the costs of assessing, preparing, and selling your land. The hassles associated with paperwork, plus the time and energy needed to be successful would be the responsibilities of an expert land investor like Lucas Properties LLC. For example, this company will make you an offer for your raw land and settle your agreement with an all-cash deal complete within seven days’ time. Additionally, they will help you transfer ownership of your title, pay your property taxes, liens, and closing costs. Now, that’s good news. Take a moment to fill out the information form in the We Buy Land tab and you can have the cash you need in your hand in no time.

It's Time to Move Forward-Sell Your Land

2011-07-14T19:35:00.000-07:00

Everyone reaches a point in their lives when it becomes time to relinquish the past to itself and move forward with renewed motivation, vigor, and hope. Whether your yesterday was good, great, or not so great, the potential still is that your greatest days, moments, and achievements lie ahead of you. Some of your fondest memories are still yet to be made.
For some, moving forward means leaving people and places behind. It’s like disconnecting from an old boyfriend, staying away from the places where trouble use to always find you, or steering clear of discouraging or abusive friends for the love of a healthier crowd of acquaintances. For others, moving forward means releasing inhibitions and taking that first step to live out a dream; that dream of being a college graduate, a famous actor, or a world traveler. And for another group of people, moving forward is as plainly described as letting go of things.
If holding on to a closet full of too small or oversized clothing, an unused engagement ring, an unlived in house, or a quaint beach front lot is full of past memories that keep you from moving forward and enjoying the life that you have ahead of you, it might be time to look into donating or selling those things. Even, if your present is riddled with thoughts of yesteryear that prevent you from indulging in the potential joy for today, you might need to take a serious look into what steps you can take to let go of what ails your well-being.
Local donation centers, often seen as thrift stores, will take your donations of clothing, shoes, jewelry, toys, electronics, appliances, and other household items during regular business hours. Most are set up as revenue stations for charities, and what is sold to the public of your items will be used as proceeds to fund the operations of that specific charity. You can check your local phone directory for a list of donation centers and thrift stores in your area.
Some online search engines have their own classified sections where you can list your items for sale to the general public. And auction houses, these days, are set up for online bidding so that the potential audience for the viewing of what you’re selling is widely broadened. Your options to sell a home range from selling it yourself to hiring a real estate agent to selling to a real estate investor. The same options apply when selling land; but, in this case, selling your land fast and for cash will happen when you sell it to a private land investor. Most people find that this is the way to go.
So, today, make a bold decision to enjoy today and live for tomorrow.

How to Sell Your Raw Land by Avoiding Pitfalls

2011-07-08T12:16:00.000-07:00

There are two things that are needed by an owner selling raw land; motivation and willingness to do some work. Buyers usually see the geographic and economic feasibility of the land. Some of the buyers are only looking for the geographic position of raw land because they have some plans in their mind.
The buyer investigation typically includes the accessibility and availability to current zoning, challenging physical features and access to public utilities. They evaluate your raw land in their own context because they have to decide whether to buy the raw land or not. They ask you some basic questions such as current zoning of your raw land such as twins, row and single family.
The value if the land is also based on the value of sale. They want to compile information about, your land in the sense of sale price, features and amenities. If you want to sell your land at higher price, you should collect and provide information to your customers.
In these hard economic times, selling land demands care and diligence. Don’t ever sell your land in a rash decision. If you have pressure around you, don’t make any decision in a rush. You should think without any pressure because this decision changes you forever.
You need to follow due process in order to avoid legal proceedings. Make sure you have cleared everything between you and your customer. Land is important property. You may have to sell your land because of personal reasons and have only a short time to do it in. If you want to sell your land and need faster cash, you should contact Lucas Properties LLC to learn about their distressed property solutions today. It is as simple as completing their online form and they deliver you a cash quote for your land.

Moved Too Far from Your Family Farm? Sell Your Farmland Fast for Cash!

2011-07-08T11:31:00.000-07:00

It’s a joy growing up on a family farm. Waking to the most visible sunrises and settling down to the most awe inspiring sunsets. Indulging in the serenity of quietness that eludes city streets and urban settings. Being accustomed to the simplicity of life and, yet, learning the value of hard work at the same time. But, now that you’re all grown up with a family of your own, the dynamics of your family life may have shifted to the surroundings of city skylines and suburban avenues. If you’re an empty nester, for example, you may have already decided that it’s your time to relax and steer away from the major responsibilities of country or rural living. And it’s from your condo in Florida or your new, comfortable one level home situated down the street from your growing grandchildren that you’re at odds about what to do with your family’s farmland. If it isn’t possible to grow crops or keep the family farm operational due to financial or manpower constraints, you might want to consider keeping the family home that is on the land but selling the farmland around it. It could be a good idea to turn your childhood home into a family retreat by keeping a reasonable amount of lot space for a privacy fence, front yard and backyard space, and garden or pool space.

If the thought of selling your farmland seems like a daunting task—whether you own a little of it or a lot of it—it doesn’t have to be. Whereas the popular option, in the past, had been to enlist the help of a real estate agent for a proper sale, the most appealing option, these days, is to contact a private land investor. A private land investor is someone who will assess your land and offer you 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land while paying all expenses that you owe on the land and for the transaction itself. This is a good option for you if you desire a quick sale of your land. And, too, it’s a good idea if you already owe property taxes or liens that you’ve had trouble (or foresee having trouble) paying—it could be a distressed property solution for you and can get you out of (or keep you out of) the red! One of the best private land investors out there is Lucas Properties LLC. As caring professionals, you’ll find that they will meet your need for a distressed property solution in a fast, efficient manner; that is, so that you can get back to the business of enjoying your today and your tomorrow!

Alleviate the High Cost of Parenting-Sell Your Land

2011-07-04T11:27:00.000-07:00

Raising children has always been expensive and, if you’re the parent of a teenager, you’ve probably noticed that the task at hand is more expensive now than it has ever been. In the beginning, you opened your wallet for jarred baby food, diapers, and endless shopping trips for clothes and shoes. Sixteen years later, your spending has shifted to laptops, iPads, cell phone bills, and still the endless shopping trips for clothes and shoes! Outwardly, you can smile and laugh about it; after all, you love and enjoy your child. But, inwardly, you might feel a little concern about those major expenses that your teen is relying on you to provide for. Expenses like that airfare and hotel bill that would allow your little darling (whose not so little anymore) to enjoy a few summer weeks in Paris, France with the high school’s Social Studies Club. Expenses like the registrations fees, costume costs, and traveling fare for that once in a lifetime opportunity to participate in a professional dance workshop and showcase in New York City--after all, you were the one who thought it a great idea to enroll your little mini me into that dance program at the age of three. And, too, expenses like a car and auto insurance might be fast approaching. Not to mention what it will cost to take care of your college enrolled kid the moment you wave goodbye at the start of the freshman semester one soon coming autumn.

If up until this point, you’ve managed to keep your finances in order and your head above water, chances are that you’re in the habit of prioritizing and keeping a budget. But with the growing needs of your child and the nation still picking itself up from the recent economic hardships, you might feel hard pressed to withdraw funds from your life insurance policy, pension, or investments. Before you make such an important change to your financial portfolio, you should consider what unused assets you possess that you can sell for cash. For example, if you own a boat that hasn’t run in a number of years, you could sell it to a private buyer or at auction to someone who is willing to repair it. If you own antiquated pieces of art that are collecting dust in your attic, those would probably sell well at auction, too. Or, if you own raw land that you aren’t using and don’t plan to develop, you can sell it to a land investor—at no cost to you—for quick cash. Some land investors, like Lucas Properties LLC, will pay you cash for your land in a matter of one week. Taking the time to explore your options will help to alleviate the mounting pressure that you might feel to keep up with financial demands. You might find that things look better than you imagine they do.

Sell Your Land to Fund Your Mission Trips

2011-07-01T20:24:00.000-07:00

This time of year, many people are making plans to participate in summer missionary and humanitarian efforts. With the weather warming up in many parts of the country, so is the zeal for volunteerism and good will to be administered in our country and, even, in the most remote parts of the world. Even, entire families are now preparing to pack up and store away their normal, everyday lives for unseen adventures and new memories. With that in mind, there is essentially one important thing that all of these people have considered before officially setting off into the sunset. And, that is, that it takes money to set off on monumental journeys like these.
To generate cash for volunteer trips, some have been able to rely on their loved ones to fund their endeavors. Others have worked hard and saved, beforehand. And, still, others have put together yard sales and estate sales; many have sold their cars or plan to rent out—or, even, sell—their homes. However, one of the few ideas that have been considered to increase cash flow is the profit that can be made from selling raw land.
Raw land is unused, undeveloped land. You may own raw land; but, you may have never used it and you may not plan to ever use it. However, it is your responsibility to maintain it and pay the property taxes on it—even, while you’re away. Chances are that, in your absence, it can become overgrown and sprout penalties from the city or state for negligence against policies to maintain it. Perhaps, you don’t know of anyone who you trust will care for it while you’re gone.
You might consider that one of the options that would suit this situation perfectly would be to sell your land to a private land investor. A good private land investor, like Lucas Properties LLC, would pay you anywhere from 5% to 25% of the fair market value of your land and would pay you cash for it within seven days’ time. If you’re concerned about having to come out of pocket for liens that you owe on the land or property taxes that are due or closing costs to pay, you don’t have to be. That’s because, another benefit of selling your land to a private land investor is that all of these things will be paid in full on your behalf. You would owe nothing—you would only get paid.
This is, both, a convenient and profitable measure to take if you’re still in need of money and, too, if you plan to be away for an extended period of time. The fewer things that you would have to attend to, of the life that you’re leaving behind, the better your missionary experience will be. And, too, the more cash that you have on hand when you’re miles away from home, the better. Think these things over diligently. And may you thoroughly enjoy the experiences ahead of you.

Sell Your Commercial Land for Cash

2011-06-30T18:32:00.000-07:00

Perhaps you’ve noticed that vast, lonely, vacant field situated between The Home Depot and The Pottery Barn. You might be one of the only few who know that it’s not a spare piece of land used to boost the landscaping aesthetics, with its few sprawling trees and tall decorative grass. As you pass it by, you imagine what it would look like or how convenient it would be if someone would build a cozy little ice cream shop or a department store outlet right there in that spot. And, as you mull over these thoughts, you realize that the only thing that is missing from this situation is a prospective buyer. And you know this because, after all these years of holding onto the land, you’ve now become a willing seller. Yes, that property is your land that is crying out for use in the company of big franchisers and passers-by. And, though you once passed by the opportunity to sell it when the land around it was being transformed and developed, you’re now looking forward to letting it go and moving forward.
Considering that the land has been in your family for years, your hesitation to sell it in the past is quite understandable. In fact, you may have once used the field to play baseball on with your friends when there were still houses surrounding it. And, too, at that time, that highway out front didn’t exist. You might consider that it’s a treasure and that’s why you paused when you were asked before to let it go. However, as it became less and less useful to those wonderful nostalgic memories and future plans, you found yourself to be left pondering exactly what you should do with it. Selling it has become a reasonable and logical option for a few reasons:
• In the midst of corporate franchises and bustling commerce shoppers, you’ve already stored the best memories of your land in pictures and in your heart.
• You either no longer have the energy or you don’t have the desire to continue maintaining the land.
• The land is costing you more money in property taxes and upkeep than you’re comfortable with; especially, since you’re not using it for anything.
• The zoning laws have changed and the only thing that you can build there is a commercial building for business purposes—which you don’t have plans to do.
• You have a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of your surrounding community.
• You can think of several personal uses that the profit from selling the land could go towards.
Now that you’ve decided to sell your land, you must decide how you’re going to sell your land. If the previous offers from big businesses to purchase your land have expired, you could enlist the help of a realtor who will list your land as property to be sold on the MLS. The MLS, or Multiple Listing System, is a list available to brokers and real estate agents who use it to find and market properties to potential buyers. There is generally a substantial waiting period for land to be sold in this manner. Things to consider in choosing this option include the following: you are responsible for the payment of property taxes and liens due on your property in order for it to be sold, you are responsible for having the land surveyed and appraised, and you must pay a commission to your realtor once your land is sold.
Another popular option for selling your land would be to sell to a private land investor. A private land investor is one who cuts out the middle man and all of the red tape associated with selling your land the traditional way. In contrast to hiring a realtor, with a private land investor, you don’t have to wait for a potential buyer to become interested in your land and you don’t have to pay a commission. Also, you would no longer be responsible for the property taxes or liens that you were once responsible to pay. In this option, the private land investor would offer you 5% to 25% of the market value of your land, pay the property taxes and liens associated with the land, pay all fees associated with closing the negotiation, and pay you cash within seven days’ time.

The Pros and Cons of Selling Your Land on the MLS

2011-06-28T08:17:00.000-07:00

If you’re looking for a distressed property solution and you want to sell your land fast, it’s best to consider the pros and cons of listing your property on the Multiple Listing System (MLS) before taking that step. The MLS is widely used by brokers and real estate agents as a means to list and retrieve information on properties that are available for sale.
The pros for choosing this method include gaining a wide audience of both professionals and consumers that are looking to purchase property, your real estate agent will work for you and negotiate for you (you’ll not have be in direct contact with any buyers), and you’ll gain knowledge and experience as your real estate agent explains the ins and out, up and downs of the market as it pertains to your property.
Sounds great, right? Well, recently, the cons for choosing this method have grown to outweigh the pros as the economic downturn experienced by many has created a need for easy, fast cash. For example, hiring a real estate agent means just that—you’ll have to spend money to pay out a commission when your goal is to increase your finances and not decrease them. Using the MLS may have the potential for a broad audience; however, most people use it to look for residential and commercial buildings –you could be waiting several months before a buyer becomes interested in your land. And, lastly, using the MLS will not eliminate the other expenses that you will incur but will increase them in fees and closing costs.
A better solution for the selling of your land would be to use a private land investor. A private land investor, like Lucas Properties, LLC will evaluate your land and offer you a percentage of the fair market value. This is beneficial because the wait time to receive payment from selling your land in this manner is about seven days’ time. Additionally, you would not have to pay a commission to anyone. In fact, your fees, closing costs, property taxes, and liens would be paid for you—all on your behalf. The only thing that you would be left to be responsible for is to enjoy your profit.

Liquidate Your Assets: Sell Your Raw Land

2011-06-24T10:18:00.000-07:00

There are some that find when they are in debt or dire straits, financially, that the best thing to do is to liquidate their assets. To liquidate means to convert assets into cash. And an asset is an item of value that is owned; including, but not limited to, businesses, homes, cars, boats, and jewelry; even, raw land. If you have determined that liquidating your assets is the plan of action that you’re going to take, here are a few tips that will prove to be most useful.
Evaluate your assets.
Make a list of your assets. This is the beginning of preparing your items for sale. Take good photographs, write down an accurate description of each item, and be sure to make note of serial numbers where applicable. Doing this will greatly benefit you by saving you time, energy, and expense as you begin the selling process. This also comes in handy if, once your items are sold, you need the information for income tax purposes.
Secure your property.
If, for example, you own a business and you plan to liquidate it, consider collecting keys from employees, changing the locks, or temporarily installing an alarm system until it sells. The latter might seem like a small expense that you’d rather avoid; however, you can’t sell your property successfully if you don’t protect it. It’s never ridiculous to consider the possibility of vandalism at the hands of people who might be momentarily angry about your decision.
Learn the liquidation value of your assets.
To correctly determine the value of your assets, you should work with a qualified appraiser. The liquidation value of an item is usually 20% less than the retail value in a forced sale to eliminate debt. In a private sale, a land investor, for example, would purchase your land for cash at 5%-25% of its fair market value. In any case, the proposed amount that you would recover in a sale should be given to you as written appraisals before you consider accepting offers for any of your assets.
Ensure that your sales are worthwhile.
Selling your raw land is one endeavor where your profit can outweigh your expenses by a considerable amount. A good land investor will evaluate your land and offer you cash for it while covering all liens, fee, and expenses. And, some land investors will arrange to return a profit to you within seven days’ time.
Choose the sale types for your items.
Once you’ve decided that your sales are worthwhile, you must decide what type of sales you plan to hold. For residential and commercial real estate, many people choose banks or real estate agents to help them. For boats, automobiles, other vehicles, appliances, jewelry, and more, some solicit the help of auction houses who will auction off their property beginning with a reserved price. For raw land (that is, unused and undeveloped land)—like, vacant lots, commercial lots, farmland, hunting grounds, and waterfront property—many choose private land investors to sell their land to for a quick, easy, no hassle sale.
Choose the best time to make your sale.
Consider where you live and what the climate schedule is like. Choose the best season, the best day, and the best time of day to hold your sale. You should consider the peek times when people might be looking to purchase homes, boats, lawn-mower and snow-blowing equipment, for example.
On average, a lot of people work during the weekdays and their free time falls on the weekend. On the other hand, business owners are accustomed to handling business on Mondays when they are freshly motivated to complete what’s on their agenda. It’s best to weigh what you have to sell against who is most likely to purchase it and do your best to take advantage of the typical time frames for certain groups of people.
In preparation for your sale, you might also want to take advantage of advertisement space that is available to you. Some sales papers and trade journals are free in the foyers of most grocery stores chains, for example, and consumers have learned to count on that as a bonus and a benefit. Placing an ad in one of these, on the grocery store or bookstore billboard (with permission), in the local newspaper, or online can boost your probability of potential buyers.
Sell ‘As Is, Where Is’.
Even though the experts you’ve hired will administer the paperwork that will transfer the titles of your assets, you should still check to make sure that every bill of sale states that it was sold “As Is, Where Is”. That way, at the end of the liquidating of your assets, you’ll be able to move forward without looking back. Becoming entangled in avoidable disputes is not something that anyone wants to endure.

Your Raw Land and How to Profit From It

2011-06-21T18:53:00.000-07:00

The term ‘raw land’ is widely utilized in the real estate market to describe unused, undeveloped land. No, these two words together aren’t commonly used by the average buyer looking to purchase it or, even, by the average private seller looking to sell it. However, they are regularly used by private land investors whose job it is to turn lonely woodlands, for example, into quick, usable cash for the owner. It’s becoming a very popular and convenient practice for land owners to connect with private land investors who are expertly equipped in knowledge and in funds to purchase their land in a very small amount of time. You see, while most people use agents when they are looking to sell their home on the real estate market, in a somewhat similar fashion, people are ‘getting hip’ to selling to private land investors to make a profit off of their unused hunting grounds, farmlands, beach front and lake front properties, and vacant lots. One of the few major differences between hiring an agent to sell your land and, more simply, selling it to a private land investor is the saving of time. Have you ever heard someone say, “Hey, let’s cut out the middle man”? Well, in this case, listing your land for sale on the real estate market and receiving an offer on it takes time. And time is the middle man. Your best bet—if you’re looking to sell fast and profit fast—is to eliminate the time that it would take for you to sell your land the traditional way by, instead, connecting with Lucas Properties LLC.
Let’s talk about the convenience of this type of connection. First, the selling of land isn’t an area of expertise for many real estate agents. Their skills might be at an acceptable level at staging a home, and at an exemplary level at showing and selling it; however, describing and showcasing an empty lot just isn’t what most are used to. When the only thing to see for a few hundred or several thousands of feet are two playful squirrels or frolicking deer, you need an expert with the knowledge to take it off of your hands and put its riches in your pocket. Who is skilled in answering the questions that potential buyers have about supplying utilities to your undeveloped land? Who will be able to answer questions about zoning issues? Who will be able to explain the agricultural details of the area? An experienced land investor will know where to get this information.
In fact, most land investors can purchase your land from you almost immediately. And selling it? Well, that’s something that they’ll do when the proper buyer comes along, being able to match your land with the best buyer according to their needs. For you, this might mean that that’s one less thing that you have to worry about. It means that you get paid without the added wait. And it certainly means that you don’t have to pay commission to a real estate agent concerning the sale of your land—ever.
And, do you want added bonuses? Well, here they are: private land investors like Lucas Properties LLC will assess your land, offer you a cash payment of 5% to 20% of the fair market value for it, and schedule a closing within seven days time. And that’s on top of paying your back property taxes on the land, paying off liens that you owe on the land, covering closing costs, and covering all fees and expenses associated with the transaction. Don’t scratch your head about it—it’s a magnificent opportunity. Grab hold of it, today!

Reasons to Sell your Raw Land

2011-06-18T18:39:00.000-07:00

Do you have a piece of land that you bought or that you got a great deal on years ago? Maybe the land was given to you or it may have come along with real estate that you acquired but never really had any use for the extra acreage. One thing is for certain, there is one thing your raw unused land is perfect for and that is making you some extra cash. Selling your raw land has never been easier. Let’s look at a few reasons why you might consider selling your raw land to get fast cash.

No use for your raw land

Raw land has a few headaches attached with it such as the cost to maintain it, tax payments and more. Sometimes people consider that it’s easy to keep their raw land rather than selling it, but in my opinion, this is not the case. Regardless of the condition of your land, there are buyers ready to hand you cash.

Don’t have money to do anything else with it

Some people have land – but they don’t have money to develop their land. They don’t construct anything on it because of limited financial resources or simply due to a lack of time. Why not sell your raw land to somebody else who can use it for a good purpose? This is a great way to make money fast.

Inherited raw land

If you have inherited raw land and you think it is useless for you. Then you should consider selling it for fast cash. Everybody needs extra cash! You can buy things that you truly need with the money you earn from selling your inheritance.

Other ideas of investment

It is the truth that land is not the investment for everyone. Every person has a different idea for an investment. If you want to make an investment and you lack the necessary cash then selling your unused raw land can be a great way to pad that investment nest. By selling your land, you can make money quickly for any other investment such as home construction, buying a boat, or a business investment.

Sell your raw land because you don’t know what to do with it;

If you don’t have time to put anything good on your raw land or you don’t even know what to do with your raw land. Then simply make a decision and sell it. Get your money and use it for any other purpose.

By selling your raw land, you can fulfill your current needs and you don’t have to borrow from anyone else. After getting cash, you can invest this cash in your business to make more money. If you want to sell your raw land quickly with higher cash, try Lucas Properties’ solution today!

Donate To Charity: Sell Your Land for Dollars & Spark Change

2011-06-15T16:07:00.000-07:00

Not everyone has to be a radical enthusiast to desire change in our nation, in our communities, and in our schools. It only takes a click of the television remote or a click of the computer mouse to see via news reports and special documentaries that people all over the country are experiencing hardships that are either familiar or unfathomable to us. Either way, our reaction is the same. We feel empathy; that natural sympathetic emotion and compassion for other people. We ask ourselves what it is that we can do to help. How can we rebuild lives destroyed by tornadoes? How can we feed a hungry child hundreds of miles away when we ourselves are clipping grocery coupons? How can I make a difference when someone else is hurting is what you might ask yourself… while you stare out across that open field of yours that stretches hundreds of feet before you.

You might daydream that you could build homes on that land and invite families to partake of a better or restored life there. You might imagine that somehow you could host a family concert on that land that would raise thousands and thousands of dollars for charity. You might even secretly desire that there was gold in that land but you probably doubt it. Only, what you should realize is that there is value in that land. And, too, that there are people who would be happy to give you money for it. If you’re not using it and have no plans to develop it, this could be a great opportunity for you to sell your land for cash to donate to your favorite charity.

Let’s face it—selling land is what a lot of people are doing these days when they are in need of a distressed property solution. When they’re facing foreclosure and want to sell that their vacant vacation waterfront lot to cover their family’s financial needs and save their home, for example. That’s quite acceptable, and it is good business to exchange unused land to fund important needs. The same is true in your case, too. It’s good business to exchange unused, undeveloped, raw land for a good cause.

Lucas Properties LLC is in the business of purchasing raw land from land owners who would like to sell their land for cash fast. You can contact this private land investor by filling out the informational form under the We Buy Land tab on this site. They will access your information and make a cash offer on your land within 5%-20% of its fair market value. If you owe property taxes or liens on the land, Lucas Properties LLC will pay them; that is, in addition to paying all of the closing costs and fees associated with the sale of your land.

There’s no better time than now to act on your desire to give and start the process today. People will be so happy that you did.

5 Good Reasons to Sell Your Raw Land

2011-06-12T12:36:00.000-07:00

Eureka! You’ve got land! One of the golden nuggets of the real estate market. You may have bought it, inherited it, or received it as a generous gift from a well wishing grandmother (thanks, grandma). Perhaps, it came in a package deal; a vacant lot or a couple acres of land that were married to your house when you bought it. Whatever the case may be, your ‘eureka’ moment is over and, in your new found sobriety to free up some cash for the future ahead, you’ve hopped right up there on the fence in the consideration of selling your land. The only thing is, you’ve been stuck there, not knowing which side to jump to—you’ve become a balance beam expert. Well, the good thing for you is that selling your raw, undeveloped land is just about the easiest thing that you can do right now. And, that right there is a moment worthy of, “Oh, really?” Because the assuring answer is an absolutely resounding, “Yes!” Are you still unsure? Well, here’s a little help. Take a look at five good reasons to sell your raw land:
Reason Number One: You’re Not Using It
It’s kind of like when you have a jar of pickles in the fridge; but, you never eat pickles. You see, when you were in the superstore, it seemed like a great idea to get that really big jar of dill pickles; after all, they would go great with sandwiches, kids love them, and (best of all) they’re zero calories—the perfect snack. Only, after a month’s time, they’re still the first thing that you see when you open your fridge and the last thing that you or anybody else ever wants to eat. The only action that that jar gets is the glory of the amount of space it has in that cold box and the misunderstood caress of your warm hand as you slide it out of the way to grab the mayo. In the end, you have no interest in the jar of pickles and it was a waste of your money.
Well, that’s kind of how some people feel about their raw land. It gets no action whatsoever; yet, it’s still wasting their money in property taxes, liens, and the expense it takes to maintain it. It’s been like a black hole that they’ve been standing over just dropping their bills and spare change into. If this is your story, you can turn the tables and let your land make you money instead.
Reason Number Two: Your Family Never Uses It
It’s in your name and it belongs to you and yours. Only, the family barbecues, picnics, and annual family reunions always take place at the local park. You know, right next to the pool and the water slide. Huh? With what you have in your hands, that shouldn’t be the case but it is. And you’ve really no objection because you love the convenience of seeing forty of your loved ones poolside. Since it doesn’t look like that’s going to change anytime soon, selling your land could be a good idea.
Reason Number Three: You Can’t Develop It
Let’s be realistic. Money answers all things (well, a lot of things) and developing your land takes money that you may not have. Such a predicament is one where selling your land to someone who will and can develop it, is not only going to make you a profit but will, also, do away with that secret drop of ‘Hoarder’ that we all have within us. Take a deep breath… now, let it out. And, bravely, let it go. You can do it!
Reason Number Four: You Want to Fund Your Dream
While some people’s dreams include being the most successful land investor for miles and miles around, your dream is to open a hair salon, an automotive shop, or—heck—you just might want to buy a Harley and join the local bike club. Whatever your dreams, why put them on hold? You can use the profit from the selling of your land to make your dreams come true.
Reason Number Five: It Was Given To You, or You Inherited It
The final reason is this: the land was given to you or you inherited it. You didn’t aspire to have it, you didn’t ask for, and you didn’t want it. But, you’re kind and appreciative, so you took it when it was presented to you. But, that was years ago. Now what? Just like then—way back when—when it was hip to wear jheri curls, mullets, and bell bottom jeans, you still don’t know what to do with it. If this is you, you should probably sell your land. And, fast!
Your Next Step…
You might find that your situation fits into one of the above five. Or, it may not be listed but holds just as much reasoning. Your next step can very well be to plant your feet on the side of the fence with the most pasture. You know that side that gives you the space and the freedom to move forward and go as far as your eye can see. Lucas Properties LLC is a private land investor who buys raw land from owners, paying 5% to 20% of the fair market value of your land—and, that includes a cash payment to you within seven days’ time. Property taxes, liens, and closing costs will all be paid for on your behalf, and you’ll finally be free of what has ailed you concerning your land. Go ahead, fill out the information form under the tab We Buy Land and move forward!

Drawbacks and Benefits Associated with Raw Land

2011-05-29T19:22:00.000-07:00

There are several drawbacks and benefits attached to raw land. You should consider all of them before you decide to buy or sell your raw land.
Drawbacks
Let’s look at the few drawbacks of raw land:
• Cash flows are negative – because it cannot generate any regular income but you have to pay interest, principle, taxes, and cost of development.
• Land can be amortized not depreciated so tax advantages will be scanty.
• It is considered as an ill liquid investment in the long run, it takes time to get gains from raw land.
• You can face risk of loss on the resale of your raw land if you choose poorly or fail to negotiate and evaluate properly.
• It is not easy to borrow against accrued equity or acquire traditional financing on raw land.
Potential benefits
Here is the list of benefits associated with raw land:
• Pride and privacy of ownership provides a secure feeling to the owner.
• Owner financing can be acquired with the seller at lower market rates.
• If a buyer can achieve better and higher growth, it can give potential to tremendous appreciation.
• Subdividing can provide and add value for quick returns.
These are the potential benefits and drawbacks attached to buying and selling raw land. Whether you want to buy or sell your land you must consider the associated benefits and drawbacks with the process. If you want to sell your raw land for any personal reasons such as, unemployment, loan payment, lost retirement funds, need of money, medical expenses; it is good to consider this selling your land to a private buyer who offers fast cash and no hassle closings. You also need to decide between higher cash and fast selling. Sometimes, if you want higher cash you may have to wait for a good offer. However, Lucas Properties LLC can give you a great cash offer for raw land and immediate cash!

Tips to Selling Your Land

2011-05-28T12:30:00.000-07:00

Many owners of land are questioning whether or not they should sell their lot, their farmland, their hunting grounds, or their waterfront property, for example. The prospect of turning a profit from something that they aren’t using is appealing. And, sure, a decision to sell can be a great idea; however, deciding how to sell shouldn’t be entered into lightly. For starters, the basic question that one should ask is, “Do I want the highest price or do I want to sell fast?” Almost immediately, most people will say that they want the highest price. But, after six months or so on the real estate market, that statement quickly turns into, “Hey, I want to sell fast!”

Another question to ask is, “How did I acquire this land?” The answer to this holds a lot of weight in why or how a landowner would sell his or her land. There have been people who have learned that they have acquired land by one means or another that they never had the desire to own, the means to provide for, or the desire to maintain. Also, in most recent years, there are some who purposely or happily gained land ownership but weren’t able to start or finish construction on the land. It began to lack use for them. If you’re one of these people, then you have a good reason to sell your land. And not just sell it; but, sell it for cash!

So, what’s the next step? Well, just like when you want to sell anything, you should want to make the best impression possible. Here is a guideline that you might find useful:

CLEAN HOUSE… so to speak. Clean your land! Put your best foot forward. A general rule of thumb when selling your land to anyone is to make sure that your land is clean of natural and man-made debris. That means that you may have to do some collecting and dumping of trash, mowing, chopping, and weeding, if necessary, to make your land look its best.

DEFINE PROPERTY LINES. People are visual creatures, and they like to see clearly what they are buying. You can define property lines via a hired surveyor, or you can make it a DIY project and do it yourself! Installing white painted posts at the corner of each parcel of your land, for example, will make property lines visible to viewers.

KNOW YOUR LAND. Gather zoning, utility, and location information that is relevant to your land and its position. Be sure to highlight the best features about its location, and be ready to answer questions in a knowledgeable manner.

BE REASONABLE. Consider selling your land on easy terms. The easier the prospect of the sale, the more interested the buyer.

CHOOSE YOUR BUYER! This is the part where you can make cash fast! If you choose a good private investor, that investor will pay all liens, fees, and closing costs associated with selling your land, and will close on the deal within 7 days. That’s in comparison to selling your land on the real estate market (MLS), paying out a commission to an agent, and waiting… waiting… waiting for your land to be sold. And FYI, a good private investor to consider is Lucas Properties LLC who will offer you a cash payment of 5%-20% of the market value of your land while, also, paying those expenses that you would normally incur.

Hopefully, this information has been helpful to you. You can definitely succeed in your endeavor to sell your land!

It's Easy to Sell Your Raw Land

2011-05-26T12:22:00.000-07:00

Logically, some of the most popular land is located where people are in need of the most common services: housing, schools, churches, parks, and shopping areas. And, although there is a market for the sale of vast lands like ranches and farmlands, there is a great need for raw land right in the heart of ‘where it’s all happening’. Though this is understandable, for some there is a slight dilemma; for, ‘where it’s all happening’ is, in most cases, already populated. For these would be hipsters, where is the space that they’re longing for to fit in? Well, if you’re reading this, it’s quite possible that you own it.

In fact, for a quick cash sale, you’re open to have someone take it off of your hands.

If you’re like most people with an unused asset to sell, you’re probably thinking about what you could do with a cash profit such as this. With summer time approaching, it certainly wouldn’t be unreasonable to apply to that dream vacation that you and your family have been talking about for months. And it certainly wouldn’t be unreasonable to use it to pay down some debt, fill a certain need that a loved one has, or apply it to your savings account for an emergency or a potential business opportunity.

Is Your Vacant Land Costing You? Why Not Make It Pay You?!

2011-05-23T19:21:00.000-07:00

How many times have you actually gone by to use that undeveloped, raw land that you own? Diligent owner that you are, you probably make the regular trips to do the regular maintenance on said land; however, you often think to yourself, “What am I going to do with this land?” Well, if you think about it, you might have a financial need that you’d like to cover for yourself, for your family, or for someone else. And you’re fortunate because statistics show that, these days, private land buyers and individual investors are increasingly interested in raw land. Whether your land is a lot in the inner city or a farmland on a rural route, this can be good news for you. Commonly, people make investments in the stock market or other endeavors that they think will prove to be profitable. But, more and more people are opening their eyes to the profit that they have right under their feet. That profit is sitting in their LAND. Yes, there is more than one reason why ‘40 acres and a mule’ was such a big deal in American history. That’s because land—your land—is valuable and can make you money.

There are a few good reasons to look into selling your land to a private individual investor or private land buyer instead of on the real estate market. Consider that you never had plans to develop or build upon your land; yet, you do have plans to buy a timeshare in Florida. Consider that, in addition to paying property taxes or expenses for the home that you live in now, you have to do the same for the empty land that you care for—and you’d rather not do that anymore. Even, consider that you’d like to add to your retirement fund or increase your capital for a small business venture that you’ve been dreaming about. Yes, the possibilities of what you can do with additional income are endless. And taking that step is as easy as contacting Lucas Properties LLC.

Something to keep in mind in this process is knowing that a good investor will be sure to alleviate your financial concerns about your land and avoid putting pressure on you. An easy transaction is something that you deserve. And covering the costs for the sale of your land is exactly what Lucas Properties LLC does.

Sell Land to Private Land Buyers for Fast Cash

2011-05-23T08:01:00.000-07:00

Many people buy land when their financial condition is good and they are dream about building a home or developing the land. But this uncertain economy has left a lot of these dreams unfulfilled. Some people inherit raw or vacant land. This vacant land usually becomes a source of expenses rather than profit due to taxes and maintenance. In both of these cases you could sell your land and make some easy cash. When you are looking for a guaranteed selling option, it is best to sell your land to private buyers or investors.
The benefits of selling your land to private land buyers or investors over selling your land on the traditional real estate market are : you don’t need an agent in this deal and you won’t have to pay any comissions like when you sell on the MLS or via a realtor; if your land is on the market for a long time, then the maintenance cost can be burdensome; more over, you will have to be available for your buyers all the time.
If you want to sell your land for fast cash and don’t want to or won’t have the money to pay comissions to a real estate agent, then may be you should look for a private investor or private land buyer.
As selling your land privately does not involve traditional real estate market paper work hassles, it saves your valuable time and resources. Although you are not going to get the highest market price when you sell privately, the deal is usually closed within a short time (7 days). Investors and private land buyers usually pay around 20% of market value, as they have to pay for taxes and maintenance on the property. Also they often have to pay off liens on properties.
All you have to do is deem your land profitable to investors. Just remember one thing : don’t let a private buyer or investor charge you for quotes. Get a cash quote for your land in writing with no obligations attached and at no charge.

Are Gas Prices Affecting Your Land Sale?

2011-05-19T06:26:00.000-07:00

Strange question, right? Well, not really, if you’re an owner of vacant, unused land that you’re attempting to sell on the market. Think about it. “Have you seen the gas prices, lately?” may be something that you have said to someone else. And, certainly, it is possible that it’s also something that some prospective buyer of your land has said—the very thought of driving across town or out of the way to see what you have to offer in person just isn’t as appealing as it used to be. Window shopping for land and property to purchase, these days, is no longer an exciting endeavor for some people. Yet, while people’s perspectives may have changed for the time being, the treasure you’ve got to sell still sits… just waiting to be sold.

So, what’s the solution for cases like these? The good news is that if you’ve felt frustrated or hopeless, you should know that there is no need to fret. Whether it is gas prices or other factors that are drawing out the sale of your land on the market, you can conquer the waiting game by choosing a private land investor who will purchase your land and virtually eliminate the waiting game that has kept you awake at night.

Best Approach to Sell Raw Land for Fast Cash

2011-05-19T06:11:00.000-07:00

People who face cash problems can solve their problems by selling their properties. They often think which way to go, what will be the best approach to sell land fast for cash? Let’s find out the answer:

Sell your raw land with Realtor

If your land has good market value and you have enough time on your hands, you can choose this way. You can find tons of realtors in your area and pick the one who has done successful deals in his/her business history. Despite these facts, you also have to pay commissions and fees to realtors. They require lots of time to sell your land and demand even more months for closing.

Sell By Owner

Selling your property by owner is the similar task to selling your land with a realtor. The key difference is that you have to do all the work personally. Put on the realtor jacket and find buyers and show them your raw land. If they are willing to buy your land, negotiate the sale and make disclosures to write a contract. This way is good to sell your raw land only if you have sufficient time to handle sales, marketing and the negotiations process.

Sell your Raw Land to Private Land Buyers

The best and fastest way to get all cash offers on your raw land. However, you need to find someone to whom you can work with and trust. Finding an experienced private buyer can be a difficult task because there are a number of investors who just finished their courses and weekend seminars and try to prove themselves as the next “Rich Dad”. Many have never done an investment in their whole lives. Therefore, always look for the seasoned private buyers that are experienced, confident and capable to buy your raw land. An experienced investor or private buyer also knows all kinds of real estate transactions and can give you a detailed analysis of your raw land in minimum time. They can give you a ray of hope and offer you customized services. Many real estate investors and private buyers purchase your raw land despite its condition, good or bad.

Private buyers offer you 5 to 20% of fair market price with the added benefit of a quick cash sale despite the raw land’s condition or situation. This is one of the best ways to get a speedy transaction when you need funds immediately. You can connect with private land buyers and real estate investors through on-line forms and websites. One of their representatives might visit your raw land and if satisfied, he can offer on your land. Selling your raw land is a good idea to solve your financial difficulties. Lucas Properties LLC’s solution offers you fair cash for your property within seven days without any commission and all fees, liens and actions paid. Get your offer today!

How to Sell Raw Land for Fast Cash

2011-05-16T14:02:00.000-07:00

Land that has not been used or developed for any purpose is called raw land. If you want to sell your raw land, you should know a few things before you consider land selling. Here are some simple techniques that can attract more buyers quickly so you can sell your land fast.
First, do the survey of your raw land if you want to sell for cash. If you have already done a survey then make sure that you know everything about your land. Know your raw land’s potential boundaries because buyers will want to know the exact lines of your land. It would be great if you mark your land boundaries with stones. A survey is very crucial before selling raw land so, if you don’t have time to visit your land, you can hire a reputable local surveyor.
Contact local health department to know if the land can hold a septic system with the help of perk, water and soil test. It will help the buyer to know whether the land can support his plans or not. Property that is not developable for residential or commercial housing may still be of value as a camp or hunting property.
Find the zoning of your raw land to know if it is zoned for agriculture, residential or commercial use and find the per year rate of property tax on the land. You can get help from a local courthouse to find this information. Note the location of your land whether it is in or out of the city limits.
You can conduct your own market research to determine the appropriate price for your raw land. Some agents will offer a free broker price opinion as well. It is not an appraisal; it is only an opinion of price. You can also call a land appraiser for appraisal. Finally, compare both opinions and decide on the better price offer.
If you are looking to sell your land fast and don’t want to be bothered by figuring out prices, conducting surveys and marking property borders, then you are looking to make a fast land sale to a private buyer or investor. Lucas Properties, LLC buys land in any location for a fair cash price. Get a cash offer for your land today!

Sell Your Land and Make Fast Cash

2011-05-08T08:40:00.000-07:00

Today’s economy is unstable and everybody needs cash in hand for any emergency. Like many other resources, unused land can be used to generate cash. Since our population is growing day by day, the need for land is also growing for residential, commercial, religious and educational purposes.
Many people have inherited land and it has remained useless because they are not an investor or speculator or they have no plans for developing the property. You can easily make ready cash out of it. You can use the cash as emergency cash for future, to strengthen your retirement savings or pay for your child’s education. Or, you can pay off your mortgages and feel free from financial burdens.
In many cases, owning unused vacant land can become a financial hardship. You might even lose your land under uncertain circumstances if you would be unable to pay property taxes. Before it occurs, you should look for a good deal to sell your land and have some cash in your hand.
To sell your land, it is preferable that you sell the land by owner; you do not need to pay commissions to a realtor or MLS. Selling your land by owner is a far more profitable and flexible deal, although it might take a bit longer time. If you are going to sell your land by owner, you need to clean the land and make it accessible by providing a clean pathway which will make a good impression on the buyers.
If you sell your land by owner, you will have the flexibility with pricing the property. You can conduct market research and determine your land’s value. You do not need to worry about raising your price as you do not need to pay the realtors. If you are selling by owner, you are the one who makes decisions. Also you can let your clients negotiate.
If you need to sell your land by owner fast and for instant cash, you should look for a private buyer who will pay you instant money. You should know that they pay up to 10%-20% of the market value but you will get the money quickly and hassle free. Always investigate private buyers before you sign any paper work to be sure their business is legal.

Quick ways to sell your Raw Land

2011-05-05T06:18:00.000-07:00

Landowners sometimes ask themselves whether they should sell their land or not. There are many financial and other factors that need to be determined before you consider selling your land. You may also need to choose between getting the highest price and selling fast. However, selling your land for the highest price doesn’t always mean you’ll get the most money at the end of selling process.

How and why did you get this land?

If you think there is no reason to hold onto your land, then it is a good decision to sell it. For instance, if you have enough assets outside of the property then you can consider selling your land as a quick cash option. If you owned this land for construction purposes and you don’t have the funds to continue to build, you should consider selling your land for cash. If you have sentimental attachments to your land then you will need to decide first whether you can afford to keep the land just for sentimental reasons.

When you finally decide that you really want to sell your land, then prepare your land for a fast sale and a convenient cash sale. Consider these guidelines for the potential sale of your land.

• Clean your land. It will help buyers to see clearly. Your land should not contain things such as burning piles of brush, old fences or puddles of mud. If there is not a driveway then outline one. One day labor can help you to sell your land faster. Make it easy for your buyers to see the land in it’s best light. Clear sight of your land will attract buyers.
• Make property boundaries visible around your land so that people can know what they are going to buy. If you cannot do this yourself then you can hire a surveyor. You can make bounderies with white post at each corner of parcel, spray paint or you can use wood from your land to show clearly where those property lines are.
• Gather information about your land because buyers can ask many questions and it is best to be knowledgeable. Things such as, zoning, nearest utilities and location of any nearest store can be helpful to give value to your property. Nobody likes uncertainines, you should always be able to answer the buyers questions.

Offering easy terms when selling a house can be more trouble than it is worth but in the case of selling your land you can use those easy terms as a way to add value and maybe even raise the price of your land. Following these simple strategies can help you get the best price when you sell your land.

When you need to sell your land fast rather than for the highest dollar, you should consider selling it a private land investor. While you will not get full market value for your property, you will be relieved of the headaches associated with selling land on the MLS and selling land by owner. Most private land investors take care of all liens, fees and closing costs and the deal can be sealed in as little as 7 days. Hope, these simple and quick guidelines will help you to sell your land.

Reasons to Sell Your Unwanted Land for Cash Quick!

2011-04-21T19:05:00.000-07:00

These days, everyone can use extra money. Between a crumbling economy, lower interest rates accruing on 401Ks, savings accounts, and CDs, people are looking for more creative ways to acquire the cash needed to maintain a comfortable lifestyle or just to meet their family’s basic needs. Among the reasons people look for the lump-sum, extra influx of cash that selling land provides are: meeting an emergency or creating an emergency fund for the future, funding a new business, dealing with medical bills, paying tuition for a child (or for one’s own retraining), retirement, or just staying afloat in the period after a job loss or layoff.
One way people are creating more income for themselves and their families is by selling unused land that they hold directly to a buyer, rather than going through the standard market real estate sales process. There are many reasons that selling directly to a buyer can be beneficial. Selling land directly to a buyer cuts out much of the paperwork hassles of real estate sales, as well as saving the seller valuable time and resources. Further, it also cuts out the middle man, and his or her huge commission; the seller gets the full price negotiated for.
We will not only make an offer for your property, we will be ready to do an all-cash deal. Additionally, we are willing and prepared to handle the many details arising from the sale/transfer of ownership. Not only will we buy your land for cash, we will handle the minutiae arising from dealing with closings, lenders, and title transfers.
The one caveat is that because the buyer is the one handling these minutiae, and because of inflation’s nature, a direct buyer will want to buy your land at a substantial discount. Exactly how large a discount the buyer will try to obtain will depend on your vacant land’s market value. Most direct buyers look to purchase at approximately 60% of a parcel’s market value.
When looking to sell land directly, one should note the following: A buyer should never charge for giving you a quote for the value of your land. If a potential buyer tries to charge for providing such a quote, they are not someone with whom you want to do business. Also, most buyers will provide such a quote in writing, without any obligations or strings attached. We never charge for providing a quote. Simply fill out the form on our website, and we will make a firm offer to buy your land for cash.
You know the reasons that you want to sell your land for cash. If time and the economy are not an issue, and your need for cash is not immediate, it may behoove you to wait until the real estate market to recovers to sell your unused land. If, however, you need cash now, don’t wait. Contact us now to make a fast, hassle-free, lump-sum, cash deal for your unwanted land, especially if you are selling waterfront property of some type, such as lakefront, oceanfront, or riverfront property.

Selling Your Land By Owner

2011-04-09T09:05:00.001-07:00

It can be a tough decision, whether or not to enlist the services of realtor when you want to sell your land. Whether you have inherited some land, just want to downsize your number of investment properties or even when you just need to have some extra cash on hand, do you always need a realtor and the MLS or is it possible to sell your land by owner? The simple answer is yes.
Selling your land by owner can be a time consuming and bit arduous task, but it is far more profitable than paying out commissions to realtors, dealing with the long wait times to see that the property doesn’t move at all being listed on the MLS and in the end actually losing even more money on the property with extra maintenance while it is available for showing.
When you sell your land by owner, you will need to take steps to ensure that the property is cleanup. It is well worth you initial effort to remove all debris and to do some mowing and weeding. A really great selling trick on large wooded or even open properties is to keep a clear path that follows the property’s boundaries. This makes it easy for perspective buyers to walk the property in a carefree and relaxing fashion. A horrible rustle with brambles is not going to leave the best impression. Make paths accessible to the lands best features.
One of the great things about selling your land by owner is the flexibility you will have with pricing the property. While it is more than worthwhile to conduct market research to determine the value of your land for sale, you will also not have to worry about upping your price to cover the costs associated with realtors. Depending on your selling situation, you may not have the time or energy to price competitively and decide to put your property on the market below value. This is great for a fast sale, as long as it is what works best for your pocketbook. Many realtors however would frown on such an approach and encourage you to ask more and wait for the lowball offer. When you sell your land by owner, you are the person behind the decisions, but you should always leave room for negotiations.
When it comes time to advertise your land for sale, you will want to be sure to include details about the properties location, but not its exact address. This will keep squatters at bay. You should include the properties dimensions, size, zoning and any other outstanding selling features it may have like lake views or mature trees. Include photos of the property whenever possible. You can sell your land by owner online, in newspapers, with signs on the property and in a variety of other mediums.
If you need to sell your land by owner super fast and can’t afford to spend the time advertising, signing and surveying the property, then your best alternative is to seek out investors who are willing to buy land for cash. There are many of these organizations, but it is important to review their website and make sure they are legitimate businesses. They should never charge for a quote, but you should also note that investors do not pay top dollar for properties. Most investors pay 10% to 20% of market value for a property, but with investors, you get hassle-free quick closing.

Sell Commercial Land for Fast Cash

2011-03-31T21:02:00.000-07:00

It happens; zoning changes as development moves across our vast landscape and what may have once been the family fields could now be considered commercial property. Wondering what you will do with commercial land? One of the best options is to sell your commercial land for cash.
Commercial land is property that can only be used for business purposes. This is as opposed to residential or agricultural purposes. Commercial land sold for business serve a variety of purposes for investors and landowners alike. From restaurants and shopping centers to apartment buildings and gas stations, the uses for commercial land are many and depending on the amount of commercial land available the greater the possibilities.
It is for these exact same reasons that you know the right steps when looking to sell your commercial land. Begin by locating the deed for the property. Recorded on the deed is all the pertinent information about the property including ownership, property boundaries as well as information about liens on the property. Your next step should be contact a professional surveyor and have the property’s landlines properly marked. This protects you and the buyer.
If you don’t already have your commercial land appraised. It may be a good idea to do so. Appraisals cost a good bit of money however and many can’t afford to take this step. If you are unable to afford a professional appraisal or to have a real estate agent perform a comparative market analysis for you, then consider taking on the task yourself. You can do this by researching comparable properties in the area. If there are no comps in your neighborhood, then more to the next town, but don’t travel too far from your own property for values. Remember this is only an estimate.
Once you know the property’s value, you are ready to sell your commercial land.
