It’s not a secret that land is one of the best investments ever! Even billionaires like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are buying thousands of acres of land – farmland and vacant land in Arizona and other states. If they are investing in land, why don’t you? ? You don’t need to start big! You can start with a small parcel of land – a quarter-acre, half-acre, or an acre. We have several parcels of land in Arizona with different sizes… and we are happy to walk you through the entire land buying process! Check out this video where I talk about the reasons why Bill Gates and other billionaires are buying land in Arizona! If you want to start buying your own piece of land, please email me at [email protected] or check out our inventory at https://www.landsforyou.com/property. If you’re thinking about buying land, you have a couple of options. You could try to acquire raw land by watching for it in a listing service and buying through an agent, or you can buy vacant land for sale by owner in Arizona directly. In this post, you’ll read about the 3 reasons why you should buy raw land from the owner directly.
Reason #1. More VarietyIf you buy raw land from a real estate agent, you’re stuck with whatever land the agent can find, which they’ll usually find by accessing a listing service like the MLS. This severely limits the amount of raw land that you can choose from. However, if you change your perspective and start looking around for vacant land for sale by owner in Arizona, you’ll have much more land to choose from! In fact, you might be surprised at the amount vacant land available to you! On this site alone, we have land in almost all parts of the state! Reason #2. Faster PurchaseIf you take the “wait and see” approach to buying vacant land only through an agent, you’re going to be stuck with whatever land happens to be listed. Sure you might get lucky and find raw land right away but you’ll often end up waiting months to hopefully come across the “perfect” investment. However, if you take a different approach and buy vacant land for sale by owner in Arizona, you’ll have the confidence to move off of the limited listing service and instead find land owners yourself who are eager to sell you their land but who chose not to list on the MLS. That way, you can find more properties, faster. If you want to see what vacant land for sale by owner in Arizona is available in our inventory, click here now and fill out the form Reason #3. Seller Financing Might Be AvailableBuying land through an agent usually means the selling agent will require proof of funds and will demand that you have a mortgage or cash in place ready to go before you buy. This can severely limit how much raw land you can buy at one time. However, if you invest in vacant land for sale by owner in Arizona, you often have a greater amount of choice when it comes to financing. In fact, you might even be able to get seller financing directly from the seller. (We ALWAYS offer Owner Financing as well as the opportunity to roll payments into other parcels!). SummaryMany vacant land investors understandably don’t want to get caught up in all of the annoying hassles and hoops that they have to go through in order to buy vacant land through a real estate agent. They’d rather just buy the land and start using it or developing it the way they want to. If that describes how you want to invest, then buying vacant land for sale by owner in Arizona will be the right choice for you!

This short video below talks about land, bitcoin, ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. Enjoy! Video TranscriptionJim: Hey, it’s Jim, LandsForYou.com. I just wanted to shoot this quick video and talk a little bit about land and cryptocurrency. Now a lot of people will say, “Well, what is cryptocurrency? Is it money? Is it a currency?” And the way I describe it is, it’s an asset. One way to think of it is like digital gold.And what that means is, it’s something that’s very valuable and there’s only a finite amount of it. And what you can do is you can hold that asset in safekeeping. Let me give you an example. If I’m worried about the future, I’m worried about inflation, I’m worried about political instability, whatever it might be, I’m going to feel more comfortable if I have 10,000, 50,000, 100,000 in my bank account. I’m going to feel even more secure if I have a shotgun and ammunition. I’m going to feel more secure if I have a workable farm. I’m going to feel a lot more secure if I know that I’m in a good neighborhood and all my neighbors like me. And those are all types of assets. And cryptocurrency’s similar. Take, for example, Bitcoin. There’s only going to be a certain amount of Bitcoin that are ever going to be mined.And if you have some, it’s going to naturally, as more people become aware of it, as it becomes more and more of a thing that people get familiar with, it’s going to stay with that fixed supply. But the demand for it is going to increase. It’s naturally going to appreciate in price over the long term. Obviously, it’s going to fluctuate up and down. Personally, I own Bitcoin and I own Ethereum. And it feels good knowing that I have those assets under my control. Just in case. You never know what could happen. And so, one of the other things to think about is raw land. Well, raw land is also an asset. A couple of things to think about with land are it’s got very, very, very low rates of taxation. Especially in the Southwest, Arizona, New Mexico. Vacant land doesn’t really have a house on it. Doesn’t really have any type of structure on it that the government’s going to be able to say, “Oh, there’s massive amounts of value here. We’re going to be able to tax you.” It’s something that you own. It’s under your control. And you can do with it what you like. If you want to bury valuables there, if you want to store tools there, if you want to have someplace where you can go where you know you’re going to be safe, where you know you don’t have to worry about big cities or crowds, you have that as an option. And one of the things that I do, is I have a lot of familiarity with land and I have a lot of familiarity with cryptocurrency. One of the things that I can do is if you want to sell some of your cryptocurrency and you want to buy land … Just waving to a friendly neighbor. If you want to buy land using cryptocurrency, I accept that. I can accept Bitcoin or I can accept Ethereum. If you have some other cryptocurrency like Litecoin, I know that’s another popular one, I can accept that as well. But these are all assets. Land is an asset and cryptocurrency is an asset. And these are things that as this … As we’ve seen with things like Covid-19, the world is rapidly changing. And the rate of change, the slope of that line, it’s only going to get faster and faster and faster. And things are going to start changing more and more. One of the things I offer is – you can take your cryptocurrency and you can buy land with it.You can turn one asset into another. And this is something that maybe you’ve been mining cryptocurrency, you want to put it into something real. Something that you can one day build on, something that you could one day pass to your children, you can do that. And I’m happy to help out with that. I’ve been in the land business since early 2018. And before that, I actually … What got me into the land business was I was in the cryptocurrency business. And I had a Bitcoin and an Ethereum business. And I did very well with that. That’s what gave me the launching pad to get into real estate. And so, I’m very familiar with Bitcoin, with Ethereum, and understanding how to transact in those. And they’re really, really special asset classes. And whenever you’re watching this, I mean, this video will be on the internet, I guess, in perpetuity. But right now it’s 2020, we’re in the middle of Covid-19. And cryptocurrencies are something that they’re only going to get more valuable. The really good ones, like Bitcoin, they really are not going to be making anymore once they’ve mined those final Bitcoins. And those are going to be, in a certain way, like land, right? They’re not making any more land in Manhattan, they’re not going to be making anymore Bitcoin. I encourage you – learn about land, learn about Bitcoin, learn about cryptocurrenciesRight now one of the things the government’s doing, they’re announcing all types of stimulus. I’m very skeptical that the government is going to save us.That they’re just going to print up some money, put it in people’s bank accounts, and that’s going to make all these problems disappear. I don’t think it’s that easy. I think it’s going to be a lot more painful. And I think there’s going to be some unintended consequences. I encourage you, learn about Bitcoin, learn about cryptocurrency, learn about land. Take control of your financial future. If you think that investing a small portion of your savings and something that’s going to be around for a while, like cryptocurrency or land, is good, then I’m happy to help you out. You can email me anytime. It’s Jim at landsforyou.com. And I’m happy to sell you any of my land parcels for cryptocurrency. If you’ve got a bunch of crypto, you want to turn it into something real. You want something that you’re going to be able to hold at a very, very low holding cost and build on and have something durable, then shoot me an email. Happy to help you out. This is me, Jim, LandsForYou.com. Happy to answer any questions you got. Take care. Bye! The land buying process is very simple – there are 2 basic ways to purchase property: Cash Sale and Terms Sale. In this video, I talk about the basics of both processes.
Explaining the land buying processHey, it’s Jim! LandsForYou.com Hope you’re doing well! Just wanted to talk to you real quick… I had somebody ask me the other day “What’s the process of buying land?” and there’s really 2 ways. So if you saw something on my website and you liked it and you wanted to buy it, there’s really 2 ways you can start the land buying process. One way is for Cash. Pretty straightforward – you would just pay the full cash price – you can either pay it via PayPal, you can wire the funds, you can also pay via debit or credit card. We also take Venmo and Zelle, stuff like that. You can do it that way and then all you’d do, you’d just tell us your name, you tell us how you want it Deeded. So, for example, if it’s you and your spouse or you and your kids you would just tell us exactly how you want it deeded. Once we get the funds then we will actually record it with the County for you. We have software called Simplifile, which lets us very inexpensively and quickly file it with the county, so we’ll actually do that for you. So that’s the first way it’s called a Cash sale. The second way to start the land buying process is with a Terms Sale and what that means is you put a certain amount down, that’s the down payment, and then the rest you just going to pay month-over-month and that can be tracked on our website. We have a website called GeekPay and that lets us track those monthly payments so you can always see how much you owe, how much is left, we have a copy of that signed contract there. So when you say you want to “buy land on terms”, you put the down payment down and then we write up a contract – it basically says my wife and I own it and we’re gonna deed it over to you once all the payments have been made and if you need to see that contract beforehand, you want to check it out, just ask – happy to provide that for you. So that’s the second way. You can either pay cash and get title right now, or, you can pay it off over time with the terms contract. And there’s never a pre-payment penalty so if you want to play it off sooner, that’s great I’ll even probably give you a discount if you’re making a huge prepayment! So, those are the two ways, it’s pretty straightforward, you know, my wife and I own all the parcels that we sell so if you have any questions about anything you can just ask us. But those are the two ways – Cash Sale and then a Terms Sale. So just wanted to share that with you video with you, if you have any other questions, I’ve included a link below LandsForYou.com Any questions you can email me directly at jim at landsforyou.com Hey, have a great day, bye! Buying land in Yuma is an excellent investment choice, but do you know what to look for? In this post, we offer 5 things to be aware of.
Whether buying land for investment or to build a home, you will need to know as much as you can about the land before making the purchase. Below are a few things to look for when buying land. We also always recommend that you have a land feasibility study done before you buy to ensure that the vision you have for the land is a reality. Zoning RestrictionsThe zoning that covers your particular piece of land will directly determine what you are able to do with it. Your property could be zoned residential when many nearby properties are commercial. The zoning may say you cannot build a specific type of property or go above a certain height. When buying land, make sure that the zoning allows you to do what you want to do with the property. Soil TypesThe last thing you want is to buy a piece of land, only to find that you aren’t able to build on it as you had wanted to. Some types of soil are great for building while others are not. Clay-based soils are often more sturdy than lots with a lot of sand. You’ll also want to know if there is fill dirt or if the soil is original. If the land has been filled, you may have to take some extra steps before building. The NeighborhoodWhile land can often be purchased sight unseen, it’s best to get a first-hand look at the neighborhood before deciding to buy there. Does the neighborhood seem safe and like a place you or potential tenants will want to live? Take a drive through the neighborhood at different times of day, so you can get a true feel of what the neighborhood is like. What is looks like during the day may be wildly different from how the neighborhood feels at night. If possible, talk to a few neighbors you see while out and about so you can get their thoughts on the neighborhood and building in the area. You will learn a lot more from locals than you will from your real estate agent. Future DevelopmentWhen buying land, it’s important to know what is happening in the area. Are there homes being built? Retail and dining? New roads? All of these things will have an effect on your property value. Check with the city to find out about recent permits and plans that are in development. This will help ensure you are buying land in an area that makes sense for you. If a neighborhood is up and coming, it may be your chance to find a diamond in the rough, turning it into something big! Clean TitleYou’ll need to check the title for the land before you buy it. You don’t want to find out later that someone else has a claim to the land. Make sure the land is free of liens and that the person selling it has the legal authority to do so. When buying land , it’s important to conduct a feasibility study to ensure you have all of the information you need about a piece of property. This will help you to make sure that everything you have planned for the land can actually become a reality. The feasibility study will let you know what to prepare for and what you are getting into so you can guarantee the success of your investment. Thinking about buying land? Get in touch with us first! 602-806-7899 Buying land can be confusing so here are the 3 most valuable questions to ask before buying land!
Do you own this property?Yes, really! You want to make sure that the person you are buying this property from has clear title to the property. They should be able to show this to you and provide it via the County Assessor website, or, they should be able to furnish a copy of the notarized Deed showing they purchased this from the previous owner. Are there any back taxes owed on this property?What taxes are owed on this property? When you buy a property, you are inheriting any back taxes, liens and encumbrances! You want to be sure that there are no back taxes on the property. This can be checked at the County Treasurer website by entering the APN or parcel number. Do you offer a money-back guarantee on this purchase?Many land sellers have a policy of all sales are final. My purchases have a 30 day money back guarantee on all sales. If you don’t love the property, I don’t want you to have it! I offer both a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee as well as a 1 Year Land Exchange Guarantee. Those 3 questions are a great START. You should always feel comfortable asking about the acreage, zoning and any other questions on your mind! If you ever have any doubts you can always email me directly at jim [at] landsforyou.com – I am here for you! Video TranscriptionHey, it’s Jim from www.landsforyou.com. Just want to shoot you this quick video. Just some tips on buying land. I had someone who just bought land from me recently and he had asked a couple of good questions and it got me thinking… what are some of the things you want to consider before you put down your money and you buy something from someone? Just a couple of things to keep in mind, these are kind of the most important things. The first one, most importantly, you want to make sure that the person that you’re buying this land from actually owns it.So you can ask them first for a copy of the latest Deed so that you know that what they’re selling you, they actually have the right to. Another thing that’s super important is, if they can’t produce that, sometimes the counties are… they’re really behind on recording stuff. What you can do is you can check the County website itself. A lot of times you’ll find it there or if they have that copy of that last deed, you can call the County Recorder’s office or Assessor’s office and they’ll be able to validate for you that what you’re buying is actually being sold to you by the person who’s selling it, super important. Another thing you want to consider… Just waving hi to my daughter. And another thing that’s super important, you want to make sure when you’re buying land, you don’t inherit any back taxes.If you buy a property, you’re inheriting everything that’s on that property, meaning the back property taxes, liens, encumbrances. Anything that’s wrong or banged up at the property you’re going to be getting. So check the county treasurer’s website, put in the parcel number and make sure that you’re actually buying a property with no back taxes on it. Super important, super easy to do. The person you’re buying it from, they should be telling you that and they should be able to produce that evidence for you in no time. Hang on one sec. Okey-dokey. Got my daughter here. Third thing, probably most important thing. The thing that can really save you. You want to make sure that you’re buying land with a guarantee.So whenever I sell land, I always have a 30 day money back guarantee. You lose your job, you get cold feet, whatever. I don’t care, it’s fine. Just tell me and I’ll give you your money back. And I got the testimonials to prove it. So make sure if you buy land, the person isn’t just going to take your money and run off. They’re going to actually stand behind it for at least a month. She’s making fun of me! But those are the three most important things. Just off the top of my head. Just want to share that with you. Make sure that the person selling it to you actually owns the land first and foremost. Second of all, there should be no back taxes and verify that. And then the third thing, make sure you have a guarantee just for your own peace of mind. And she’s got my glasses, so I got to go. All right, talk to you soon. Bye. |
