.........a big fatherly figure. I was told this is how to get river ranch property cheap!
For anyone wanting to buy into River Ranch cheap !
He said to go to the Polk County tax office and ask about the unpaid tax auctions. You can go to these auctions and bid on a full deed starting at $500. From what he says this is how mjlands gets their deeds cheap to break up and resell.
Full deeds (he says) go for around $900 to $1,300. He says he has inside info and mjlands usually pays only up to $1,000 for them.
Also, he said that someone here actually went to the Polk Country office and got a list of land owners at River Ranch that live out of the area. The thought is that they might never use it and be tired of paying for it and want to get rid of it. You send them all letters (just make copies of one and add names) offering to buy it. He says this person actually got multiple offers to sell them, and actually bought 2 deeds cheap. All you need is one person wanting to sell. They might have been left the property, or moved out of state since buying. It won't cost much , just some stamps and a little time to write a letter.
No longer do you need a land broker to sell you high priced 1/4 deeds, or a current member willing to sell you a part of theirs. Now bidding on ebay hoping for a quarter deed. Now you can buy in cheap and be able to set up your own camp!
All the stories about needing to know people to get in is just that.stories.
Do your homework and it'll save you thousands on a full deed! take in your quad and ride til your heart is content!
For those that are mad at this post, just remember it came straight from the inside
I don't want to deter anyone from buying from mjlands, but I can't let such great intel go without sharing just like someone did with me.
Glad to see that you want to "help" people, but I just wanted to touch base on a few of the assumptions you have made about M & J Lands and RR in general:
"From what
he says this is how mjlands gets their deeds cheap to break up and resell."
Absolutely incorrect. We have on accasion purchased tax deed lots, but less than 5% of our purchases are made through tax deed sales. Tax deed sales are not the best piece of property to buy. You have to be aware of possible liens, reversals of purchase, be aware of the size of the lot you are bidding on, ect..So we shy away, although we have bought from them in the past. We prefer nice CLEAN deeds, free on a bunch of incorrect transfers. By the way, 1.25 acre lots CAN NOT be purchased for $900-$1000 anymore. I have seen them go as high as $4500, just depends on how many eBayers and other interested buyers show up and believe me there is ALWAYS interested buyers. It is not quite the piece of cake you make it out to be. Lets not go into the mistakes made by individuals who think they know how to add A PERSON, or transfer a deed only to find out from the county that it was incorrectly done. Just like you can go to Autozone and buy a new AC unit for your car and do some research and install the item yourself or you could just get a qualified mechanic to fix it, with a warranty, only in this case you are dealing with REAL ESTATE WITH A WARRANTY.
"All the stories about needing to know people to get in is just that.stories."
I have not read, nor heard, that you need to know someone to get into River Ranch. I believe people may have said know who you are buying from....as it used to be easy to be taken advantage of.
I believe your intent may have been good, but please do not bring us into the mix. We do provide a service and that service is needed or we would not be in business. Good luck at the sale! Thanks, Marc
