selling my land

SELLING MY LAND
I am selling my two lots, one in east Arizona and one in east Texas. They are both very small, suitable for a cabin or trailer. I am selling below my cost. Factoring in inflation alone I should be selling them for twice what I paid. However, as I can never realistically expect to see them it seems foolish to keep them. Plus, I bought them sight unseen. I have no way of knowing how good or bad they are. I don’t know if the claims made about them are true. So, by selling them cheaply I am pricing in the possibility of misrepresentation from those I bought from. My descriptions below are as I was told, not as I have seen or can guarantee. Also, part of the price is you are required to do all paperwork. You must figure out how to get a deed filled out. You do the paperwork, send it to me to sign, I send it back to you. You file it, you pay all fees. If I wanted to be bothered figuring out how to do the paperwork I would have listed these on E-Bay for a lot more money. The last time I checked both areas had lots in excess of a thousand dollars, at a minimum. So don’t ask me to lower the price. I’ll sit on them before I do that. I paid $450 for the Arizona lot, I’ll sell it for an even $400. I paid the same for the Texas lot, but I bought title insurance for it ( which I got ripped off on from First American ) so I have a total of $700 into it. I’ll sell it for $600. Go on E-Bay, I don’t think you’ll find land anywhere as cheap.

The Texas lot is in Henderson County, about sixty miles east of Dallas/Fort Worth. It is next to Cedar Creek Lake, just off the junction of roads 334 and 274. Gun Barrel City is five miles away ( has a Super Wal-Mart there ). It is two trailer lots, end to end long ways. I don’t have the measurements anymore, just imagine a mobile home lot in a park for the dimensions. I have been taxed both by Henderson County and Kaufmann County. I don’t know if Kaufmann is a scam or if there is a weird duel county property tax for schools of something. I paid it since it’s under $5 a year. Just something to be aware of. The lot is supposed to be zoned for trailers, with the utilities available for hook up on a dirt road alongside the lot. Beware that the area has double the national unemployment rate, and that was years ago before the current Troubles. Tax # 3715-0000-3410-500. Lot 341 and 341A, Oak Tree Estates.

The Arizona lot is in Apache County. It is thirty miles from St. John’s and Show Low. At the intersection of Hwy 60 and 61. From Hwy 61, turn off at Little Ortega Lake and drive ten miles over dirt roads to the subdivision. From Hwy 60, it is five miles from Vernon ( one assumes a VERY small “town” ). I can’t imagine the roads are still in good repair. Perhaps the county roads, but certainly not the subdivision roads. But I don’t know. If I were you I would assume you need to hire someone to find the lot. Lot is eighty feet by 145. It claims to be zoned for travel trailers but I have my doubts as no other land in the county was. They all wanted mobiles or stick built. But perhaps since it’s not been invaded by Yuppies yet…Tax # 107-35-477. Concho Lakeland #6, Lot 2, Blk 18.

I have maps, but they are fuzzy Xerox copies. I’ll send them with purchase if needed. Let me know if you have questions, but I think I’ve given you as much as I know. Jim
