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

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.

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.

How to Sell Your Vacant Land

Many people own a piece of vacant land, but don’t know what to do with it. Vacant land is unoccupied property that is not currently being used. In contrast to raw land, vacant land may have utilities and off-site improvements, but neither types of land have any structures. The reasons for selling vacant land are many, but today’s economy has many people needing to sell their vacant land to generate income. Still others simply do not want the ongoing taxes and maintenance fees associated with holding onto a piece of vacant land and are just ready to sell.
When you want to sell your vacant land, you will want to know as much about the property as possible. This will make it easier to answer questions from potential buyers. There are aspects like the dimensions of the property, the zoning of the property and what amenities are available at the property that are bound to come up in any sale of vacant land. Without a clear understanding of the land use for your vacant lot, you are not likely to find a buyer quickly. If you are unable to take the time to gather information about your vacant land, you may be able to sell to an investor who will do the research on the property for you.
You can start gathering data before your sell your vacant land by visiting or contacting the county’s planning and zoning department and requesting a plot map. A plot map will contain information about easements, lot dimensions and the building area. Zoning is especially important as it may be commercial, residential, multi-family or agricultural. Additionally you should know what kinds of utilities are available on the property. Buyers will want to know if they are going to face a significant expense bringing in utilities like electricity, water and sewer. You can check with the utility provider to make this assessment.
It is a good idea when you want to sell your vacant land to have the property surveyed. It is only necessary however if the property lines are unclear. Make sure property corner posts are clearly marked and easy to see for prospective buyers. A survey can also help to show the grade of the land which is vital information to its development. Getting a survey is well worth the money for the information it provides and the visual markers on the property for showing.
Pricing your vacant land is one of the harder parts of when it comes time to sell. You can be assured that if your property is rather vertical, it isn’t going to price out as well as vacant land that is flat and level. To sell your vacant land at the right price, you are going to want to visit comparable properties to be sure that the lots are truly comparable. You can get this information on your own or visit a real estate office and request a market analysis.
A quick and easy way to sell your vacant land is to work with a real estate investor network. They will purchase your vacant land for cash and with fast hassle free closing. Investors will not however pay top dollar for your vacant land, but the cash offer will be fair and is often worth the lack of headaches when compared to selling your vacant land on the traditional real estate market.

How to Better Your Financial Situation

In towns across the nation, tax time is rapidly approaching. That time of year when we get hit not only with our federal and state income taxes, but with property taxes and inheritance taxes too. With the already troubled economy, more and more households are looking for ways to get fast cash to ease their financial burdens.

With the chances of winning the lottery becoming fewer, especially as the money to buy a ticket becomes scarcer, hard times like these require less risky courses of action. When things get tough enough, most households will start liquidating their assets, but do you know the first thing that should go?

For obvious reasons, you should try to eliminate any debt incurring expenses. If possible, ditch the car with monthly payments and pay outright for a vehicle. Sell extra items around the home like televisions and electronics because really, having only one will be okay. Eliminate luxuries like cable and multiple cell phone plans or switch to a basic cell plan without all the texting, video watching and game playing. Another option is to sell outgrown and unused belongings on eBay. Any passive income that you can generate is going to help ease the burden of this money gobbling time of year.

This is also an opportune time to sell vacant land to investors. Many families have vacant land that was purchased during stronger economic times or may have been passed down through the family tree. Regardless of how the vacant land was acquired, there are investors ready to pay cash for it. Not cash five or six months down the road, but cash in the next two to three weeks and while you may not get top market dollar for your vacant land, you will get hassle-free, quick cash with no closing costs, title fees or commissions to be paid.

Most importantly, know that you are not alone. Millions of people around the country are struggling financially just like you. Your choice is to be the smart one who makes decisions that will better your financial situation. Make the choice to live simply and sell your vacant land for cash.

Raw Land: Either Use It or Sell It

Almost as if it were a rite of passage, as a family becomes more financially stable, they consider buying extra land to serve some future purpose. Whether it is plans to retire or for a vacation retreat, the idea of owning land has forever been treasured as a sign of maturity and growth for couples everywhere. The trouble with the family led land dream is that families end up taking more time than there are hours in the day and that little piece of land often goes unused for years.
In other situations, raw land is passed down as an inheritance and while the receiver may want to keep it in the family, the thought of maintaining land is more work than pleasure. It could also be true that you live too far away from the property to even enjoy using it or have the funds to put up a structure and make the property equitable.
However you came upon raw land, if times have been financially hard lately, it may be time to put that land to good use. Due to job losses, interest rates increasing and just the general costs of living sky rocketing, more and more people are looking for ways to get money fast for survival. If you find yourself struggling to pay your monthly bills and thoughts of that upcoming property tax notice are only adding to the stress of the situation, then it is probably time to consider selling your raw land for cash.
Yes, the real estate market is in a slump for housing, but raw and vacant land is still selling! Yes, that raw, vacant land you own can bring you a nice chuck of change and fast.
You may be asking yourself, why sell it now? And wondering if you hold on to it, prices will go up and you can get more. That is true too, but that is likely the thinking that you had five years ago and you still haven’t sold it yet. So waiting isn’t getting you any closer to the money that you may need today. Also, if you hold on to it now, not only do you still have that maintenance to continue each month, but you also have that yearend tax bill coming too.
When you think you are down and out, don’t discount your raw land for fast cash. If you don’t have the money to build, don’t have the time to maintain and need cash now, sell your raw land and keep your personal economy moving.

Selling Land for Necessity or Otherwise

With job losses at an all time high, the banks and creditors have tightened up their lending policies, the money just isn’t flowing like it use to. Many people have begun selling off things they no longer need or never used to bring in some cash. Some of those people are selling things just to cushion what cash they have. Unfortunately, some people are selling things because they have no cash; they actually need a cash flow.

Regardless which group you may fall in, selling just for cushion or selling for necessity, if you own any raw or vacant land, there is your opportunity to get a good chunk of cash!
People are converting their raw land into cash all around the world. You don’t have to be a land baron either. If all you have is just a few acres or if you have thousands of acres, this opportunity is could be a gold mine for you.

There are people who have cash and are looking beyond the current economic slump and what vacant land may be worth later down the road. Most likely they have the cash, the time and the ability to risk a wait that you don’t have.

So can anyone can be part of this financial boom with raw land? Is it possible for anyone to get a share of the pie? Yes and yes!! With this present downturn in the economy, many people are taking advantage of just how easy raw land is being sold. There is a marked increase in the sale of raw land, why not join that group?

You may still be asking, why do I want to sell my land? You are right in questioning this move from every direction possible. When you sell that land, you want to think it through. First thing you will benefit from is that tax time is here. So you’ll be writing that check for taxes on a piece of property you get no use from. Sell it now and save those hundreds of dollars right up front!

The next thing you may not think much about during the winter months is upkeep of that vacant land. Most likely you don’t worry about the mowing this time of year, but come the spring, there is that monthly expense again staring you in the face. Won’t it be nice not to have to budget that any more once you sell that vacant land?

Regardless if you are in that need to sell for survival mode or want to sell to cushion the bank account mode, now is the time to sell your vacant land!

Why Should I Sell My Vacant Land?

Reasons to sell vacant land you own are as varied as the number of people that own land. If you are finding yourself in a financial strain due to job loss, this would be a good reason to sell your land. Or perhaps you, your spouse or another family member is having health issues that are running up expenses that insurance doesn’t cover. Or maybe it’s just the economy overall is taking every last dime to survive month after month. Any of these situations would be a good time to sell vacant land you own.
Did you buy the land years ago with plans to build your dream home? Maybe you inherited the land from a family member that you didn’t even know? You could have even received this land as a payment of a debt owed to you. You really didn’t want land on the other side of the country from you, but you took the offer just get something out another deal that went bad. Regardless of the way you came to own the land, you don’t want it or don’t need it any more. This is a good reason to sell any vacant land you own.
Another good point to support selling the vacant land you own is not having to pay property taxes anymore! Not only will you save money by not paying taxes, but you won’t have to pay for upkeep on the land either. Maybe it’s not all year long, but several months out of the year, you have to pay somebody to brush hog and rake that land. That piece of land you never have seen. Or that piece of land you bought on a whim years ago and will never use.
If you bought the land as an investment, well now is the time to sell for sure! The opportunity to name your price and get your investment cost and more back couldn’t be better than right now. You have no plans for this land. You have no needs for this land. However, you could use some cash, right? Take that vacation you and your wife talked about for years. Maybe you always wanted to take a Caribbean Cruise or an Alaskan Cruise?
Maybe your buddy at work has a lead on a great investment that is expected to skyrocket quickly and make everyone lots of money? You would love to get in on that deal, but you don’t have extra cash just lying around. So sell that vacant, raw land that is just sitting there for cash! Make that investment and put that profit up for your retirement years.

Buying Land As An Investment

Some of the highest returns in the real estate investment market come from buying vacant land. Purchasing vacant land is a speculation and comes with risk. Buying vacant land can be compared to buying small cap stocks in terms of the stock market. Compared to large cap companies, small cap companies fail more frequently. However, the ones small cap stocks have consequently shown better overall returns. Not only are they taking a risk, by buying vacant land, but they need cash and plenty of time to wait for the return. If cash and time are plenty, and the investor knows the risks, then buying vacant land as an investment may be right for them.

However, just as with stock portfolios, if an investor is looking to buy vacant land as an investment needs to diversify by not buying in only one area or one city. Any real estate investments, location is critical when buying vacant land. An investor should buy vacant land that indicates it will have future development. Investors look for long term value, but they also want property that produces cash flow. While fortunes have been made from buying vacant land, many investors have made little to nothing on their vacant land purchases too.

Investors should evaluate early on the development potential of any vacant land they are considering such as the soil, terrain and access. They need to determine if it will be suitable for building once any expansion reaches it. The fewer challenges land has the better for investment. Ready to build land will be more valuable further down the road

Areas that are better located for future infrastructure expansion and near major employment centers are areas that investors should consider first. Any barriers such as mountains and rivers that may impede development can be cost prohibitive. If development has already reached the river bank, or mountain side, then the development may start elsewhere.

Investors always keep in mind that is possible for vacant land to produce income. The new investor shouldn’t listen to those who say this can’t be done. Recreational purpose is always in need of vacant land and could produce income while the investor is waiting for the future development to take place. Renting the vacant land to hunters or fishermen or even turn it into a camp ground or off-road vehicle track are possibilities for income. By look at what activities that are in demand and a good fit for the property an investor has possibility of income. Investors who can think outside of the box are limited only by their imagination.

That Raw Land You Have Is Money In The Bank!

The definition of raw land is land that has never had a structure built on it. It has no utilities on it. It has just sat there since the Earth was created and has done nothing. Do you own a piece of raw land and have no idea what to do with it?
You could grow food or raise animals on that piece of farming property you inherited. If you are a city born and raised person, you probably don’t have the interest, knowledge or desire to manage a farm. Or if the piece of land you own sits in the city, you could build a shopping strip or a commercial building and lease it out, but maybe your career and current job keep you busy.
So what can you do with this piece of property? You’ve been paying taxes and keeping maintenance up on the property for years. Yes it may be raw with nothing on it and not of any use to you, but you know it has value. So why not sell it? Maybe you have bills stacked up. Or maybe you received a stock tip that you really want to get in on the action, but you don’t have extra money lying around.
First thing you should do is get that land surveyed. You should make sure you know the boundaries of the property and that they are clearly marked on the land itself as well. After getting a survey completed, find out what the zoning conditions are with the local government office. Whether the property is zoned residential or commercial will make all the difference in how much it is worth and who will be interested in buying it.
If you don’t know already find out where the utilities are in relation to your property. How close are they and what will be required to get them run to the land. Are there requirements of licenses or permits? If so, what are the costs of those things? The more you can know about the property for potential buyers, the easier time you will have selling it.
With this little bit of homework, you are now ready to sell that land! How much do you ask for it though? Well you can go through the process of getting an appraiser to give you a formal appraisal. Then you can work at selling it yourself by advertising in the local papers, on-line and sticking a sign on the property. Then you will have to deal with the phone calls and tours, not to mention the negotiation part. Wow, this piece of land is starting to not only cost you money but now your valuable time too!
Then there is always the process of signing on with a real estate agent. You’ll want to research that choice well because not all realtors are knowledgeable about land and how to sell it. The truly interested agent will want to get the most they can so that their commission is larger. However, this means you lose some of the profit when it’s sold after paying their commission and any fees.
Or you can consider selling this property to a real estate investor. There are investors out there with cash looking for different types of properties. Some are working with developers of shopping centers and commercial properties. There are some that are looking for land out in rural areas too. Then there are also real estate investors that want to buy any and all raw land they can find, they have a diversified portfolio. With real estate investors, there are no commissions, no fees and usually a quick closing.
So if you have a piece of farm land or a city lot that is just sitting there and costing you nothing but money month after month, year after year, maybe it’s time to consider selling it. Then you will have that extra money to invest in that hot stock tip!
