Sally's GF3 thread

[cavemanrich]

She was very good at doing things around the coop, and run, in the construction category. It was some time before I learned Aart was a woman. She was well knowledgeable in chicken related things. Educator badge.

We often get stuff in the mail or texts from realtors wanting to buy our land. Today I got a text:

Hey Sally, Alex here. I recently mailed you about your Belding parcel. Wondering if you're still holding onto it for something specific?

My reply:
Yeah. The rest of my life.

I've been getting a lot of phone calls asking about our property too. I just hang up. Just started getting those calls a few months ago.

I get letters in the mail, offers. No.

Land is red hot right now, it seems.

If realtors look up land by parcel number, we have 3. One of them is 11.6 acres, never been developed. It's out in the country, there is a road, there is electricity. No water/sewer, as it's all well and septic tanks out here.

When we bought our house, it had sat empty for a year, though there was a contingent offer on it. The last house that sold out here had a bidding war and sold for $60K over asking price. (An offer of $150K over couldn't get financing.)

How times have changed.

I have read that those aquiring houses for inflated prices are then renting them for inflated prices. I see that on my street, as people pass away their houses are sold and turned into rentals. And they're expensive rentals for little 1970s ranch houses.

I know there's a bill that is supposed to end wall street level companies from buying up houses and renting them. Hopefully it passes. The other problem in NYS, is people from NYC will go to small upstate towns and buy a small lot with an old, closed business on it. They will pay crazy prices for it to launder money. A recent example when I asked a NYC buyer why they paid 3.5 million for a collapsing tiny building to fix up, they said "Nostalgia! We just want to keep this area the same.". Yeah, okay.

We get this too. Also logging companies wanting to cut our trees.
Our answer is always the same. No!

Thankfully we own our property but rentals here are outrageous. It is hard on folks just starting out.

My reply:
It's for sale! 1.5 million an acre. Have a nice day.
