Where In Wisconsin Do You Want To Be?

You've decided to find a recreational or hunting property.  Something you and your family can use and enjoy for years to come.  But where in Wisconsin do you want to be?

Just as important as the size or price of the property is it's location. While you wish for your own lakefront cabin or acres of woods with trails, the next thought is where?  Close to a large city for shopping and entertainment?  Near a certain venue your family and friends like to visit?

If you're not sure what part of Wisconsin is right for you, check out DiscoverWisconsin.com  Yes, this is the web home of the TV show that highlights different areas of Wisconsin each week.  On their website you can check out videos from past shows and see what different areas of Wisconsin have to offer.  Perhaps the show will spark a vacation idea that gets you to a city or town you haven't visited yet.  Or remind you of the place you always wanted to see again.

Check out Discover Wisconsin's video page Destinations  And once you find a place you love, visit BuyWisconsinLand.com and find your perfect getaway property.

Do You Really Need a Real Estate Agent?

Yes! While it is easy enough to go on the internet and find properties, a good Realtor® will have information about properties you never thought to ask.  They know the paperwork required, can explain terminology and help get you through hurdles of financing and inspections.  Check out this article from Realty Times with more information.

As spring rolls in, many people start listing their home for sale. The weather warms up and buyers, having recovered from the holidays, begin to house hunt.

Many buyers will go it alone. They hit the Internet for their first line of attack in house hunting. They peruse magazines and open houses. But they miss an important key player in their house-hunting mission–the real estate agent.

The real estate agent is not a go-between paper shuffler. Your real estate agent is the connection to the inside world of real estate. Yes, the Internet can provide you with lots of information, but it can't replace a knowledgeable real estate agent.

Houlton - Wisconsin's next boom town?

Will the new Stillwater Bridge be good or bad for Houlton, Wisconsin.  Article by twincities.com

Houlton? Really?

Most people would laugh at the idea of Houlton, Wis., being a boom town, if they have even heard of it.

But if a new four-lane, freeway-style bridge is built across the St. Croix River, a surge of growth is bound to follow. Perhaps the biggest change would come to Houlton, a community of 386 not even big enough for a stop sign on its main street.

Getting Mortgage Approval

Buying real estate, whether it's your first home, hunting acreage or investment property, usually involves getting a loan.  To help understand what will help you succeed in getting mortgage approval, here's an article from Real Estate News, Tips, And Information a blog by Lisa Udy, a Broker in Logan Utah.

When applying for a mortgage loan, there is a great deal of paperwork involved in the process. After filling out all of the necessary paperwork, however, many homebuyers are still completely in the dark regarding the actual mortgage approval process. 

As a result, they sit on pins and needles as they wonder whether they will be approved for the loan they seek to get the home for sale they want. To help alleviate this stress, it is beneficial to learn more about the mortgage approval process before filling out any of the paperwork.

The Offer to Purchase

When you decide to buy property in Wisconsin, you will be signing an Offer to Purchase form. These are standard forms, created and approved by the State of Wisconsin that all Realtors® use.

Do you read your forms before you sign them? Sometimes long forms filled with legal language get a bit overwhelming to try to understand quickly, when you are ready to make an offer.

Here are a couple of links from the State of Wisconsin website with a Vacant Land Offer to Purchase and a Residential Offer to Purchase (these forms are current at the time of this writing) you can review and read before you head out to buy. Know what is and isn't on the form, and be ready with questions when you are ready to buy.

Property Boundaries

When you're buying vacant land, you may decide to have the property surveyed to determine or verify the exact boundaries of the parcel. Just like when finding the right Realtor® to assist you in finding the right property you need to find the right Professional Land Surveyor to work with you and who can get the job done right.

Moe Land Surveying, Inc has created this online brochure which outlines exactly what a Professional Land Surveyor is, what they do and answers many questions you may have about getting a land survey. The site has 13 pages of information including "When do you need a Land Surveyor" "Methods of Surveying" "Ten Types of Surveys" and more. Check it our here Professional Land Surveyors

Land Buying Checklist

With Spring in the air, now is the time when you begin thinking about summer plans, including finding that perfect recreational property for you and your family to enjoy for many years to come. Whether you enjoy hunting, hiking, ATVing, birdwatching, camping, or just want to have a place away from the city to call your own, buying land is still a major purchase and you need as much information as possible to make your dreams come true.

This Ezine Article by Brandan Marchand is a great checklist of things to look for and ask your Realtor® about when looking at property.

Perhaps you have dreamed about owning a piece of property, building your dream home and living happily ever after. What many don't consider is that buying raw land can be challenging and should be approached with great diligence and caution.

Unlike a home for sale, raw land may appear innocent. In most cases - large defects are readily apparent in a home. Mold, structural problems, cracks and leaks stand out and can easily be found by a qualified home inspector. In a land purchase, your problems are harder to find and usually more severe. Some questions one should ask when buying raw land.

Invest in Land in 2011

We have always believed that land is a good investment. Not a quick money maker, but one you can count on to grow in value with time, and even better, one you can use for your home, or hunting, or family recreation while you have it.

Investingsense.net had a recent post from a guest poster that really sums it up:

The real estate brokers can take the investors to visit the available properties; if the investor is satisfied with the property then the deal in closed. The investor makes the purchase and the broker gets a commission or a fee on the property sold. Property investments normally pay off in the long term; as investors make capital gains from the appreciation in property value. Prices of real estate might rise in the short run as well but not as much. When property investments are concerned, larger profits are normally made in the long term.

The Gift For Someone Who Has Everything

Many of us struggle with this every Christmas. There is always someone on your list that is impossible to shop for, who seems to already have everything.

How many times can you buy Dad a new tie, or get Mom another bouquet of flowers? Or your special someone that says 'Oh I really don't need anything, whatever you get will be fine.'

Now we at BuyWisconsinLand.com think that recreational property makes a great Christmas gift. Imagine the look on your loved one's face to see that you have given them the deed to a waterfront vacation lot or wooded hunting acreage! It's a gift that they can enjoy for years and years to come.

Ok - so your Christmas budget doesn't included several thousand dollars for a gift of real estate.

How about a square inch of land? You can 'own' property in one or all 50 states from Own a Piece of America www.ownapieceofamerica.com for as little as $3.95!

Now we haven't bought anything here, nor are we associated with the owners of this property or website in any way. But we did check some on-line reviews of the site and they all seem to good, and the company doesn't claim to be selling anything but a novelty gift item. Just read through the FAQ section and find out how you can 'own' land across the country before you buy.

How's that for a gift for someone who 'thought' they had everything?

If a square inch isn't enought for you, visit us at BuyWisconsinLand.com for recreational and hunting property in over 40 Counties in Wisconsin.
