By Tim Mathias, November 16th, 2009   |   Comments (0)
Congratulations on your desire to own rural property.   There are few things in life that provide the sense of well being, security, and pride of ownership than that of owning and working your own piece of land.    Secondly in the long run it will prove to be a very sound investment.   But like any investment, there are concrete steps that should be taken to ensure that the investment will pay the kind of personal and financial dividends that you are seeking.

By Nicole Patrisso, November 10th, 2009   |   Comments (0)
Getting to Know the Area Wayne County is known as the Lake Region of the Poconos with a New England flair; enjoying a perfect blend of Victorian architecture, rolling hills, mature woodlands, and stunning vistas. The County is perched on the northeast corner of Pennsylvania, 100 miles west of New York City, 150 miles north of Philadelphia, and 35 miles east of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre corridor.

Land Contracts or Contracts for Deed

By Pris, November 2nd, 2009   |   Comments (0)
A land contract (sometimes known as a "contract for deed" or an "installment sale agreement") is a contract between a seller and buyer of real property.  Real property is the land and all the things that are attached to it.  Real property may also be determined to include whatever is beneath the surface of the land, like minerals, natural gas, and old; also any rights to the use of the property and finally leasehold improvements (since they cannot be removed.) Leasehold improvements (sometimes ...

Buying and Developing Rural Property

By Pris, October 28th, 2009   |   Comments (0)
When looking for property to develop, the number one consideration is: what is the market in the area you are considering developing in.  (This is also good to know if you are just looking to buy a personal home site.)  You need to know what property is selling for in the area you’re looking in to develop….and don’t pay too much for the land tract you are going to cut up into home sites!           The second consideration is determining your cost ratio.  ...

Can My Property go into CRP?

By Pris, September 29th, 2009   |   Comments (1)
Before answering this question, one must know the meaning of CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) and its implications when purchasing a piece of land or property that might be farmed. The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) defines the CRP as a program that "provides technical and financial assistance to eligible farmers and ranchers to address soil, water, and related natural resource concerns on their lands in an environmentally beneficial and cost-effective manner. The program provides assistance to ...

Weekend Retreats/Retirement

By Pris, September 22nd, 2009   |   Comments (0)
When I was young and a newlywed getting a way for a weekend meant taking a vacation at a tourist attraction. Then when our children were old enough a vacation meant amusement parks. Now that my husband and I are of retirement age, the ideal place to get way for the weekend seems to be that little piece of land we always talked about. Of course we dreamed of a place in the country; a home-away-from-home. But actually finding it seemed to elude ...

Stuff I See in the Woods

By David M. Huey, June 17th, 2009   |   Comments (0)
As the title of the article implies, I see a lot of very neat things in the woods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Dealing with recreational and investment acreage in one of the most remote portions of this great country certainly has it perks. Whether I am walking every square inch of a potential listings or taking potential buyers around every square inch of property that's for sale, I see some great things while I'm out. As some of you may know, I ...

You Wouldn’t Like it Here

By David M. Huey, May 22nd, 2009   |   Comments (0)
As the title of a popular book by Lon L. Emrick about Michigan's Upper Peninsula states, "You Wouldn't Like it Here". Though I whole- heartedly disagree with that title, there are many truths to his point. The fact is that most folks really wouldn't like it in the remote regions of the UP. We get more snow than most folks can imagine, summer only lasts a week or so, the bugs are horrible, and everyone up here talks funny. If any of ...

Current Tips for Buyers—Great Opportunities Await!

By Marjie Dempster, April 27th, 2009   |   Comments (0)
Although loans are more difficult to get than they were a few years ago, and some sellers still want the prices of ’05, the present time still holds a very interesting opportunity for buyers. It’s a buyer’s market. That means there aren’t an awful lot of buyers out there, but there are lots of listings for sale. What results from this scenario is often times a seller is willing to negotiate the price and accept substantially less than list price. Because real estate ...
