Was this an attempt at humor?Keep in mind, when an assessment value goes up, so does real estate investment.

In business, inclusing real estate, you do not get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.
Areas of negotiations:
- Deposit
- Price
- Financing
- Concessions
- Dates
- Closing and possessions
- Personal property inclusions/exclusion
- Repairs
"Financing" is the major problem in this country.
People are conditioned to live beyond their means.
Prospective buyers and sellers should be aware of the following regarding offers to purchase real property:
> Purchase offers and acceptances involvecontract rights of the seller and buyer.
> Verbal communications do not create an enforceable obligation on the part of the seller to sell or on the part of the buyer to buy.
> Until all materials terms of an offer to purchase have been set forth in writing and signed by the proposed buyer, the offer to purchase is not binding on the buyer. Unless and until it is countersigned by the seller, the offer to purchase is not binding on either party.
> A seller is not required to accept any offer, regardless of its items, including a "full price" offer.
- An offer to purhase, when signed by all parties, becomes a binding contractaccording to its terms, subject to any and all contingencies contained therein.
- If contrat documents are not fully understood, consult an attorney before signing.
- In the event another buyer wants to submot an offer to purchase, even though a written offer has been accepted, the listing agent is obligated to inform the seller of such offer.
Homes are not:
- ATM's
- A funding source for current spending
- A substitute for savings
- A source of overnight wealth
Homes are a long term investment. Currently we have the highest affordability in 25 years.

Borrowers with credit-rating scores below 580 will be required to put down at least 10 percent. Those with a credit score above 580 will be able to continue to put down only 3.5 percent. The changes are intended to shore up the agency's finances.
The FHA also will increase its upfront mortgage insurance premium from 1.75 percent to 2.25 percent. The agency is expected to seek congressional approval to raise annual mortgage insurance premiums, paid by borrowers over the life of the loan, above the current 0.55 percent maximum.

Sellers who get more than one offer should be aware that the highest offer isn’t necessarily the best offer.
Going with the buyer who has enough cash to pay a large down payment and who won’t be scared away if the inspection uncovers some needed repairs is often the wise choice. A buyer who can close quickly can save a seller thousands.
What about land?
Will a bank lend money to someone for purchasing just land?
Or is someone better off just paying cash for land?
Cash talks in any transaction. It speeds up the process.
50-80% loan to value is the norm on recreational land. It may be less conservative if you are purchasing a building lot and intend to improve the parcel.What about land?

What determines recreational land?
Curious because I want a very rural wooded lot, 50-100 acres, that could be considered a hunting camp. Electrical grid isnt absolutely necessary. But eventually I will be building a 100x300' barn approximately 40' at the peak.
Any tips on loopholes to cut initial expenses?
