Hi BP,I have a friend of mine bought a land through tax foreclosure auction...he bought it without doing any due diligence ahead of time, anyways he found out its a very small lot and worth nothing if he is trying to sell.The appraisal value is $12k and he paid a bit less but no body would buy such lot on the market...somebody told him to donate the land to the city or the county or some sort of organization that helps people and file it on his tax return as deduction. my questions are: 1- Any suggestions who to target to donate the land 2- If he donated the land can he file it as a loss or deduct it from his tax refund at the end of the year...he is entitled to pay some capital gain taxes on other properties he sold so this deduction will definitely help.3- If point 2 is doable will he be able to file based on the appraisal value $12k?

They all have their pros and cons, but they're affordable and an easy drive from the city.

I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for property management in the Edwardsville, IL / Granite City, IL areas?

you could hire a city lawyer and check out the law more.

What City are your lots in?

What city is this in? 

You should update your profile to include your city and state.

I tried looking on "The City of  West Fargo" website for info and didn't find anything, however, on "The City of Fargo" website I believe it did say signs are not allowed.

I work on the border in Del Rio, so I split my time between cities.
