Rural Real Estate

After a political scandal, fledgling lobbyist Dempsey Jo Killebrew is left almost broke, unemployed, and homeless. She reluctantly accepts to refurbish Birdsong, the old family place in Guthrie, Georgia. But, oh, is Dempsey in for a surprise. "Bird Droppings" would more aptly describe the moldering Pepto Bismol - pink dump. There's also a murderously grumpy old lady who has claimed squatter's rights and isn't moving out. Ever.

More Land Buying Tips is just that...more! The original Land Buying Tips book was popular, so we did it again with different contributors and topics. Rural real estate - land - is a unique niche. In our land-related books we speak directly to the specific issues that apply to all types of rural real estate like farms, ranches, timber tracts, recreational tracts, and wooded parcels that can be developed into home sites or camps and retreats. The contributors in this book - like the first book - are the real deal.

Deals are sometimes loaded with land mines that can blow up and cause you serious problems, time delays and a loss of money. Learn how to avoid a few of them without having to experience the same problems or make the same mistakes Pat discusses.

A good road into your property can be the difference between a landlocked parcel–useful only for recreation–and an extremely valuable real estate asset. But you don't have to wait and hope for a road to come your way. You can build it yourself. Not all roads are constructed by the government or large commercial interests. Private landowners all over the country build roads to and into their own property.
