Best Real Estate Deals

This part of the website has a compilation of the BEST DEALS that we have at the moment. It's difficult to keep this updated since the best stuff often comes in and sells very quickly, but we'll do our best. Many of these, despite being great deals, have been on the market for months, or even a year or two. I have no explanation for that. Perhaps they're waiting for the right buyer. In any case, the reason these are great deals is usually one of several reasons: the seller doesn't know any better, the seller is desperate to sell quickly, the road and/or utility access is bad, the property is IDA land or has other title issues, or the property has great potential that the average buyer just doesn't see.

In looking through these properties, you should learn a great deal about the market here. If you don't understand why I think one of these properties is a great deal, contact me and I'll fill you in. With all of these properties, I'm confident that you can sell them for double the asking price in a maximum of three years, and many of them in two.
