Do's and Dont's of Buying Land 

Tips for Landbuyers

Landbuyer's Do's and Don't's
  • ALWAYS discuss the availability of owner financing. Many banks are reluctant to finance land. Some real estate companies can arrange financing with the owner or with a local bank familiar with the community. Bluegreen will assist you with locating financing
  • ALWAYS appreciate the importance of a professional staff. The highly trained men and women at Bluegreen are well versed in all
    facets of land acquisition, should offer to walk the land with you and answer any of your questions. Taxes, building codes, deed restrictions, construction costs, and comparable properties all should be marked for your inspection.
  • ALWAYS ask for a recent survey. The more recent the survey, the better chance for accuracy and reliability. Ask your Bluegreen
    representative that a survey map be made available when you arrive to view the property, which should be marked for your inspection.
  • ALWAYS attempt to acquire a warranty deed. A warranty deed provides the most protection and the best representation as to the quality of your title. With this instrument, the seller guarantees to you that the title to your land is free of any past or present encumbrances that the seller or his predecessors created which are not disclosed in the deed. A breach of those representations gives rise to a claim for the seller to repurchase the property.
  • ALWAYS inquire about the availability of title insurance, which protects the insured against a loss which might be occasioned by a
    defective title.
  • NEVER buy a property without adequate access. Even if you never intend to use the property, you will need reasonable access in the
    event of a resale.
  • NEVER buy a property on an agreement or contract for deed if you intend to build before paying for the property. If disaster strikes
    and foreclosure occurs, the building becomes a part of the property and is forfeited at foreclosure.
  • NEVER agree to forfeit your deposit if unable to obtain your own financing. Land financing may be difficult to obtain.
  • NEVER agree to purchase property, which is uninsurable. The value of your property is directly proportionate to the rights you hold in that property.

A Land Buyer's Nightmare 

A list of all the deals I missed...

I hesitate to make a list
of all the countless deals I missed.
Bonanzas that were in my grip
I watched through my fingers slip;
The windfalls, which I should have bought
Were lost because I over-thought;
I thought of this, I thought of that,
I could have sworn I smelled a rat,
And while I thought things over twice
Another grabbed them at the price.

It seems I always hesitate,
Then make up my mind much too late.
A very cautious man am I
And that is why I never buy.

How Nassau and Suffolk grew!
North New Jersey! Staten Island too!
When others culled those sprawling farms
And welcomed deals with open arms.

A corner here, ten acres there,
Compounding values year by year
I chose to think and as I thought
They bought the deals I should have bought.

The golden chances I had then
Are lost and will not come again.
Today I cannot be enticed.
For everything's so overpriced.
The deals of yesteryear are dead;
The market's soft - and so's my head.

Last night I had a fearful dream
I know I wakened with a scream;
Some Indians approached my bed
For trinkets on the barrelhead
(In dollar bills worth twenty-four
And nothing less and nothing more)
They'd sell Manhattan Isle to me,
The most I'd go was twenty-three.
The redman scowled: "Not on a bet!"
And sold to Peter Minuit.

At times a teardrop drowns my eye
For deals I had, but did not buy;
And now life's saddest words I pen
"If only I had purchased then."
