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...
