Have opportunity to buy commercial lot and small house from motivated sellers. Need advice.

Made contact with out of town owners for two lots.

​

One is approximately 1.1 acres of commercially zoned lot. It is very overgrown and has no structures.

​

Second is 1/4 acre lot with small two story house that is in need of pretty extensive renovations.

​

We just moved into house next door and I wanted to try to get these before someone bought and put a trailer park in it or something. I looked up owners info on property appraiser and sent a typed letter to their address. They called today and we discussed.

​

They explained the property has a dark history in their family. Something to do with a brother that took advantage of a relative and is now serving life in prison. They have no plans for either property and asked me what my offer is. I explained I havent done my research yet and just wanted to see if it was available before I put time into it.

​

Questions:

​

How do I go about researching empty commercial property value? It is in a decent location. Centrally located, but not on a main road. It would be great for a boat or rv storage complex, or a normal storage complex, I just have no idea how much it would take to build something like that or any of the process.

​

House property would be a great flip or BRRR. I can work the numbers out on that myself.

​

Should I make two separate offers, one for the house, and one for the lot?

​

I dont want to low ball them, but I dont really have any plans for the commercial property. I was considering using a HELOC loan to pay cash for it. Pros/cons in doing this?

​

Any advice would be appreciated. I just spoke with them today so this is at ground zero.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
