10/ The Takeaway Most land investors would've passed on this access-challenged property. But sometimes the deals others won't touch are where the real money is made. The key? Don't just solve problems - solve them creatively. What's the most challenging property deal you've ever

9/ The Final Numbers Total investment:$105K Gross after commissions/closing:$270K Net profit:$165K We turned a "worthless" landlocked property into$165K profit.

8/ The Creative Solution Since they planned to put down$52K on$350K, I offered the property at$288K - keeping their same down payment while staying within the appraisal. Win-win.

7/ The Curveball Just when everything seemed perfect, the buyer's bank appraisal came back at only$277K. They were planning 15% down on$350K $52K down). Decision time: relist or make a deal?.

6/ Act 4: The Payoff After transforming the property, a buyer walked the land and offered asking price -$350K. But we faced a choice: sell for$315K (no road improvements) or invest another$26K for the full$350K.

5/ Act 3: The Struggle The boundary easement location was a nightmare: -$3K in legal work -$5K for surveying (surprise: 81.46 acres!) -$37K total improvements due to wet conditions and excavator getting stuck for days

4/ The Easement Battle Our attorney got both owners to the table. They agreed to grant easement for FREE, but refused the historical high-and-dry pathway. Forced us to use wet, swampy property boundaries instead.

3/ Act 2: The Hunt & Ghost Period Skip traced neighboring owners (Nov 2023). One lady open to access, other owner deceased - tracked down his son. Then both parties ghosted us for 6 months. Had to hire an attorney and start lawsuit proceedings.

2/ Act 1: The Challenge We acquired a 79-acre property for$60K. The catch? It was landlocked with no formal access. Without an easement, it was practically unsellable. The first step: secure access.

The county took months to send the actual invoice, so the tax liability wasn’t released until we had some lots under contract. That delayed our closings, but we stayed patient.

When we acquired the property, we hit a snag: conservation taxes. We expected a $20k bill, but it ended up being only. $6k—and we split that with the seller. Win!.
