Anycase, my interest is to keep the info handy and I might never have to use, but info at hand is always good.I will have to discuss with you someday about lumber industry some day & buying lands on auction for that purpose!

Packing up a large storage unit requires a truck and hours of loading and unloading.

You have to know that stuff if you are going to be buying specifically for the lumber.

Actually trying to unload an investment property in the Topeka area right now.

They don’t realize that an investor or real estate broker who knows the true market value of the property may be taking advantage of them by actively misleading the homeowner as to the true market value.The problems arise when the investor or real estate broker: Drives down the property value in the seller’s mind by showing them comparable properties that aren’t really comparable.Talks to the homeowner about all of the deferred maintenance that the property needs (which may or may not be true).Allows the homeowner to leave items behind (What is that “convenience” worth - the costs of renting a dumpster, hiring two-three workers for a day to unload your house?

You want representation that is motivated to get your the best deal for the least amount of money, not unload one of their properties.

Have you looked at real estate prices, agricultural comodities, lumber, steel, copper, toilet paper lately?

Look for some cheap commercial land in an established subdivision, which may have some lots the developer is trying to unload in these trying times.

Then after 3-6 months we’ll see prices come back down because yards have to sell off all the lumber they committed to which is typically purchased on quarterly agreements, in my experience.

Check out the HOA documents, read the meeting minutes and go from there.We do have one property in a complex that we will not buy in again and will try to unload the unit as soon as possible due to the HOA being pretty difficult.
