Power line right of way- compensation

I’m working with a farmer neighbor hoping he will grant me right of way on his property so I can have overhead power lines installed to power my new construction home next door

The farmland is about 70 acres. Valued at approx $750,000. Vacant land with an outbuilding.

The right of way I need would be approx 30ft wide by about 400’ long through brush and some woods (would be cleared for electric poles to be installed and maintained by power co)

There’s approximately 1500’ or so of power lines already running through the property going to a couple other neighboring buildings and homes. I would just be looking to “build” a 400’ leg off existing lines

He’s a pretty fair guy. He’s asking if I have a compensation dollar amount in mind $$$

In no way would this impede his business, or privacy , or access to the property. Actually the right of way would run tight to the property line (in a no building “setback” zone anyway) I can’t see there being any real diminished value to the property.

I have no idea how much to offer…

Any suggestions? He would have to pay nothing obviously, nor would he need to upkeep the wires or even clear the vegetation around them. That being said I don’t want to lowball or offer some insultingly low amount. Help! Lol

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
