Itās that time of year again ā ghosts, goblins, and⦠spooky land investors? š»
While most of the frights this season are harmless fun, thereās one kind of scare that can hit your wallet hard ā dealing with shady or untrustworthy land buyers. These are the investors who vanish without warning, tie up your property in a contract they never plan to close, or lure you in with an offer that disappears like a Halloween ghost.
At TB Properties Buys Land, we believe the best way to protect yourself is to shine a light on the shadows. So, in the spirit of Halloween, hereās how to spot (and avoid) the spooky investors haunting the land market ā and why working with a trusted, transparent buyer is the best protection.
š» The Vanishing Buyer
This oneās all too common: an investor swoops in with a great offer, you sign the contract⦠and then poof ā they disappear. No calls, no updates, no closing date.
These āvanishing buyersā often:
- Never had the funds to buy your land in the first place
- Were hoping to āflipā your contract to someone else
- Leave your property tied up for months, making it impossible to sell
How to avoid it:
Work only with land investors who use their own funds and close through licensed title companies. At TB Properties Buys Land, we never tie up your land unless we intend to close ā period.
šøļø The Too-Good-To-Be-True Offer
Some investors dangle a spooky trick disguised as a treat ā a high offer that feels irresistible. But thereās a catch.
Once youāre under contract, they start chipping away at the price, blaming ānew findingsā or āhidden costs.ā Before you know it, your final payout is far less than promised.
How to avoid it:
Ask questions upfront and get everything in writing. A reputable investor stands by their offer. TB Properties Buys Land always provides honest, upfront pricing ā no hidden tricks, no last-minute scares.
š The Contract Creeper
Beware of contracts that lock you in tight ā sometimes for months on end. These investors use confusing legal language to give themselves an escape hatch while youāre stuck waiting.
They might never intend to buy at all ā just use your signed agreement as leverage to market the property.
How to avoid it:
Always review your contract carefully and look for a specific closing timeline. TB Properties Buys Land keeps things simple, transparent, and fast ā no fine print thatāll come back to haunt you.
