I haven't seen anyone say this, so in case anyone doesn't know. If the land is worth 200K and has no dwelling, it's much harder to finance that. You either need a builder/developer loan with plans to build within a specific timeframe. Or, you need some other means to finance.

A bank won't give you a mortgage for land. Land, while having an intrinsic value is worthless to a bank. But land with a shed in which you can poop is worth something. No idea why, but that's at least one perspective.

Looks like a great shed TBH.

Someone will probably buy it to make it an Airbnb "getaway cabin" at way too much $ per night.

With a mild $999.99 cleaning fee 🧹🧼

Town close to me has 800sq foot sheds for $237k

It's a tiny home on 1/5 an acre.

Insanity

I'm in middle Tennessee.

Is that "bump ass" or "bum pass?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I like the sofa opposite the bunk bed, nothing better than watching people sleep.

One acre. By a lake. But I still feel it’s ridiculous. I hate the idea of what’s market value. To me it’s what is decent as a human being.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

80% of that value is in the land, assuming the lake is somewhat desirable to live by. 1 whole acre?? These are 2013 prices

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Somebody you know is selling an acre of land on a lake, not a shed. This land is probably worth that much with no improvements at all

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

The acre and the boat slip. The dock fees in lake anna are $1,300 a year the slip alone is worth at least $60,000

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

It's always land value plus house value. A friend of mine bought an old farm house on a large piece of land for less than a used car's worth. Why so cheap? The land would be worth a fortune alone, but the farm house was a few hundred years old (take that, USA!), in a bad shape, and listed as a protected building, i.e. he had to do any kind of "making it habitable" under close scrutiny of bureaucrats and historians. The family worked their asses off every weekend for over a decade and spent a fortune on historically correct materials.

Op doesn't understand how badly mfers want to live on a lake in the woods. Electrical and a shed is a bonus.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Land where I live runs about $1M/acre.

Decent’s got nothing to do with it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah $1m/acre isn’t moral

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What does morality have to do with it? Couldn’t it be considered immoral to your family to sell for less than fair market value?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

When the "fair" market is insane, there is no sane price for cordoned dirt.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago

The "fair" market price is what someone is willing to pay. If it's not sane, then it won't sell. Unless you sell to an insane person, in which case, good for you and them, I guess.

I'm not in the market for million dollar properties, so hyper sane over here.
