>>2100697>how do you come across land like this for sale?we bought in early 2017, after having looked around for nearly all of 2016. we used several online resources and ultimately had an agent helping us. we actually found this place, not her, but she was invaluable in the negotiation and mortgage / financing steps. we paid $255,000 for 14.5 acres (yeah, 0.5 acres less than greenbelt tax qualification rip) and a 2400 sqft home custom built in 1989.
all i can say is: stay patient.
we moved here (east TN) in mid-2016, and were prepared to rent for a year or two. we signed a 9 month lease and ended up having a month of double paying, which in spite of it being kinda pricy was nice to make the move simple. it also afforded us the time to do some projects around the house without anything in the way. highly recommend if you can afford it (and if you can't you probably can't actually afford land management).
we're 25 minutes from Knoxville, where I work. it's pretty damn cash. with property values being what they are recently, we nominally have $200k equity already, which feels wild.
