:D well actually i guess it could be as I can buy a pc of land that would up its value.So its hard to drop that and get a "real job."

This is right off the NC legislation page for process of lis pendens-A copy of the notice of lis pendens shall be served upon the owners and parties in interest in the building or dwelling at the time of filing in accordance with G.S. 160A-428, 160A-445, or 153A-368 as applicable.

I have had an opportunity fall into my lap to buy an abandoned property that has 10 ac, mobile, apple trees and maple trees ... all the same things... for $20G and there is another pc across from it that i can aquire for a small dwn pymnt and owner finance. that too has apple trees, maple and a stream.. it is more secluded and would work great for the homestead i want.wild farming and organic farming.

The other factor is, I'm just not sure I want to have that "stranger" living in the same dwelling.  

Don't forget the mistakes, but don't dwell on them either.

If it's zoned RS, a builder or investor can only build a single dwelling on the property.

Therefore, a dwelling with a husband, wife and three children could have two other unrelated adults in the dwelling.

Walk through the woods, go to the stream, garden, watch wildlife.... just relax. 

What if you created another stream of income to cover your immediate expense?

Single family dwellings are cheaper and appeal to 1.
