  We had a 1,800sqft house catch fire and it wasn't fixable. We paid a company $8,000 to bulldoze and clear the property. So, $20,000 would be the absolute max.

  Really thankful for your videos.  So often I feel motivated to get the land because it seems cheaper than the rest but still hesitant because something that’s too good to be true is just that

  On property #2…I assume that square at the back was a washed away house at one time.

  Also, for elevation, you are playing games.  The higher point on the land is towards the rear, where the previous barn was located.  That would be 62 to 63 feet, so you would need only 3 feet out of the ground to make it happen properly.   That isn't unusual or outrageous at all.  If the area permitted a manufactured home, you would just be putting it on a slight pedestal  and you could likely back fill the land in around it to make it look like it is on a bit of a hill.  Nothing much to it.  I don't think you would be building a the front of the lot anyway.

  For the battleboro property, it is very likely that the outline you see on the ground is a former farm building. &nbsp;It would appear to be that these lots are subdivided from a previous existing farm property. &nbsp; So it likely never had an actual house on it, much more like a barn (based on shape and size). &nbsp; The number of other developed homes in the area suggests that septic and such shouldn&apos;t be a big issue (to confirm) and it looks like electrical power poles exist all the way to the homestead site (there is a transformer on a pole near the red roof house tree on the property line, and potentially even an outdoor light fixture.<br><br>More concerning actually are two factors, the rock quarry across the street, and the slowly evolving junkyard a few doors down. &nbsp;You can already see 30 plus cars out there which suggests someone is getting into &quot;collecting&quot;. &nbsp; never a good sign. &nbsp;there is at least one other empty lot a couple of doors down as well, which suggests that the pricing is a little high.

  AE Flood Zone areas aren&apos;t cheap insurance either. I remember a guy being furious that he had to get flood insurance to get a small loan to do some work on his house .. he shouldn&apos;t have built his home next to a beautiful stream.

  I was looking at land/acerage on an app not long ago in S.C. In the description of the land they listed a 5G tower on the property. &nbsp;The way it read to me was they were listing this as an asset. &nbsp;To me when they exposed the tower in the description I viewed it as a major RED FLAG. &nbsp;What would be your thoughts? &nbsp;My thought is, &nbsp;there is no way I would want to live under a 5G tower.

  Great info in pointing out some of the possible issues with property! &nbsp;I&apos;ll add to the stream/culvert consideration that any time there is a fish-bearing designation for any body of water, costs and setbacks will increase dramatically. &nbsp;Instead of a $4,500 culvert install, now you&apos;re looking at a $30,000+ box culvert or a bridge. &nbsp;Instead of a 50&apos; setback, you could be looking at 200&apos; or more for structures.

  Excellent video. I personally would have adjusted the tone on the first two problems to not be deal breakers. It&apos;s the combination that makes the property such a bad deal, but by starting with that conclusion in the tone, as an audience member I felt opposition to your initial conclusion. &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br>Love the channel.
