Now you know why I want to find a (preferred)parcel while I can. I started watching last spring, when a friend turned me on to the Tax Sale. I've learned a little, and don't know much, but one thing I see is that for any spot that has so much as a water meter or electric line, the prices are rising faster than Trump's chances of impeachment. Well, almost that fast(sorry, Trumpeters; it's getting about time to face the music that he is a criminal, and has been one of the sort that consorts with the Russian Mob - jayzus!).
The thing about the zoning/code - The concern is a neighbor who complains. They are of two types. One is the type that wants to see their home remain safe and attractive and able to sell if need be. The other, more problematic, is the type who likes their privacy and intends to keep it. They have an emotional claim on the open acreages surrounding their parcel and anyone thinking about stepping foot there had better mind their p's and q's. Besides, improvements made on the downlow now will have to be dealt with if a tome comes when the place needs selling.
Nonetheless - I AM hoping to get started in finding a little spot for myself. I won't build because I can't afford to, but a little derelict shack I could view as sculpture, with a view to the horizon would be cool.

Because of the time I spend picking up litter I get to see a lot of interesting properties. One really heartbreaking incomplete house is just sitting there partially vandalized. No one would want to live there but it is far away from the hordes of people and if one would landscape the property with native trees it could be really nice, That it was built with love is clear if you just look at the construction. One of the few times I have wanted to be in my thirties again. I'd write out a check for it tomorrow. But I have to face the facts. I probably won't be around long enough to self-build even on the two stellar lots I already have.
Those wishing to buy now need to sit down and plan for how they will deal with being underwater on a mortgage. In 2008 a lot of people in JT were underwater by half the value of their mortgage. Stressful. Very stressful.
Having an exit plan is critical for those investing in real estate. Or anything else for that matter.
