Hi. I’m Beth with TB Properties Buys Land. Today, I’m going to address a question that was asked of us recently: “After I sell my property to TB Properties Buys Land, what are you going to do with my property?” This is a great question. Some of you might think, “Who cares? I’ve sold the land. I’ve got the money.” But a lot of people who are selling their property to us, this has been family land, maybe they grew up going camping on it with their parents, maybe you purchased it with the intention of doing that with your children or building your forever home but circumstances changed. A lot of times there is an emotional attachment to a property and it’s important to know what’s going to happen to it after you sell it. That is why this is a great question.
We have seen many developers in areas that we’ve bought in, where they will buy big tracts of land, they cut it up, and they sell it for big money. We know people who will buy smaller size lots, 10, 20, 40 acres and they cut it up into one and two acre lots and they make big money doing that but they also cut down all the trees and dramatically change the landscape of the area. Now, I know everyone’s different and every real estate investor is entitled to do what they want to do. But here at TB Properties Buys Land, our goal is to buy off market property, property that’s not listed on the MLS, and to put it into the hands of families who want to use that land, families who are looking to go camping, perhaps they want to build on it one day. Maybe it’s a family who wants to retire and build one day. But there’s a lot of people who want to buy land who have that dream and it’s not easy for them to afford.
So we try to buy off market land. We try to make it an easy buying experience for them. A lot of times what we have to improve the property that we buy which takes time and money. In areas where there are many trees, many times we have to thin the trees in order to prevent forest fires and their devastation. Some properties we have to put a road in. I know on our offer letter it says that we require physical and legal access, but there are times we buy property without physical access, although it will have a legal easement to the property. So we’re paying for a road but the survey required in order to put in the road! A lot of times we’re paying for a survey anyway or paying for people to come in and repair fences. There are a few times where we’ve got a larger piece of property, perhaps too big for the standard family to care for and maintain physically and economically and we might cut it in half. That process alone requires paying people to take care of but what it does is allows multiple families to be able to be able to own their own piece of recreational land, but something that’s affordable for them.
Hopefully that explains what we do with the property. Our goal is not to come in and level the area, cut all the trees down. I know a lot of investors may want to timber a property, but what does that do for the environment? The beauty? For us, we try to keep the area pristine and respect it. We want to put it in the hands of young families who are looking to build or to camp, to maintain that type of natural environment.
