Profit From Your Raw Land

One of the reasons that people purchase raw land is because they see it as an investment. And, truthfully, owning raw land is one of the ways in which you can make a profit. Because there are several ways in which to earn extra cash via your ranch, farmland, or riverfront parcel, here are a few ideas that you might find interesting. 
Extend Credit

As the owner, you can finance your land as part of a sale. Doing so will allow you to gain a profit from your investment while enjoying tax benefits. It’s true. Consult with a lawyer to help you draw up a land sale contract that’s acceptable and beneficial to you and your buyer. Remember that you’ll have a long relationship with whoever he or she is.
Lease Your Land

Perhaps you haven’t considered the aspiring farmers who need a place to raise their increasing breed of livestock, or the experienced hunters in search of land to boost their adventure experience; nevertheless, there is a market in which you can lease your land for month to month, bi-annual, or yearly contracts.
Auction It Off

If you have a massive amount of land, you can divide it into pieces and auction it off as individual parcels to corporations, businesses, or the public.
Sell to a Land Investor

For a quick, no-hassle cash profit, you can sell your land to a land investor. This is especially beneficial if you have no use for the land and don’t plan to develop or manage it. With a land investor sale, you’d get 5%-25% of the fair market value of your land, a guaranteed seven day closing date, an elimination of closing fees, and cancellation of your debt on the land. If you need help selling your land this way, contact Lucas Properties LLC for more information.

Spring Weddings & Sunny Land Sales

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.

The Process of Selling Your Land

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.

Use Your Land for the Good of Others

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!

A Better Land Sale

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.

Did You Say, I Want to Sell My Land?

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.

Easy Asset Liquidation

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.

Ready, Set, Go Sell Your Land!

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? I don’t even have an idea of what to do with this land!” Well, seeing that developing your land may not top your honey-do list any time soon, you might consider whether or not you have a financial need that can be covered with the selling of your land. Records show that private land investors are increasingly interested in raw land; waterfront or otherwise. Whether you own a vacant lot in an urban setting, farmland off of a remote rural highway, or a few rustic acres between your house and a riverbank, there is great potential to sell your land and quickly.

For many people, selling their land to a private land investor has proven to be much easier than enlisting the help of a realtor. In comparison to others sellers who have hired a real estate agent, it’s been less demanding of their time and energy, and easier on their pocketbooks. Consider the pros of this type of sale before you contact a land investor; being sure of your plan will guarantee you a quick cash profit in about one week’s time.

The Pros!

Minimal wait time for closing; usually, seven days

No out of pocket expenses; closing costs and fees will be paid for you

Cancellation of land debts; liens and property taxes will be paid on your behalf

No commission to pay—you’ll never pay a land investor commission like you would a realtor

No negotiation or bidding wars with potential buyers

No more property taxes to pay

No more maintenance or upkeep

If these are things that appeal to you, you might be gung-ho to get started! First things first, though.

Fill in the requested information on the contact form, and Lucas Properties, LLC will contact you with further information about a cash offer for your land!

It's Giving Time Again

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. If you have high hopes of giving more than you ever have before but find that the report of your finances just isn’t as big as your heart is, you can consider selling your raw land or waterfront property to increase your cash flow; typically, this is ideal if you are not using and don’t have plans to develop your land.

While there are lots of people looking for their next home before the temperatures drop or the snow starts to fall, there are also land investors who are in search of land to purchase. Land investors develop or provide developers with raw land when they are looking to build community based businesses and residential housing in neighborhoods all across America. Because this is important to so many communities, the negotiation and selling process is made to be very simple. At your inquiry, a private land investor will offer you a 5% to 25% cash payment in comparison to the fair market value of your land. Normally, closing will take place in seven days or less. And, too, your debts in the form of liens and back property taxes will be paid on your behalf with the final sale.

So, consider whether or not this choice will be a good fit for you. If you determine that it is, fill out the informational form under the We Buy Land tab and someone will contact you with further information. In the meantime, know that your giving spirit is so beneficial to others and, surely, you’ll reap the good benefits of having a good heart!

Sell Your Waterfront Property for Cash

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.

With all of the benefits that accompany your potential sale to a private land investor, there’s no wonder that so many people have chosen to forgo the conventional methods of property sales these days. If you’re considering selling your land this way, contact Lucas Properties, LLC for further details.

The Straight Facts on Waterfront Property Sales

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.
