Motivated seller was recently deeded the land.

While kind of interesting, some part of the country trade on a price per square foot basis....while other places do not at all, making it sort of a bad comparison across multiple markets where the metric has no meaning.

I’ll sort it out but it has occurred to me!

I am very new at investing in real estate and very motivated in getting started.

Is it deteriorating, neighbors have piles of trash or stuff outside their houses, broken collection of vehicles in the yard or kept yards, gardens, landscaping of some sort? 

My best advice is get some sort of money market account or even a CD at your bank and start building your "Down Payment" money for when you decide you're ready to buy your first investment property. 

Finally, with the use of Trusts while establishing these structures you can add a level of anonymity by removing your name from public record.The second point I want to bring forward is that if you benefit from something, then by law there is always some sort of liability that can be traced back to you.

Less competition, more motivation on the sellers part, and I am one of the few that will take on properties during panic times. 

Stumbled on a seemingly motivated seller but he instead offers to sell his land.

Our general counsel does this sort of thing for us all the time.
