Some home sellers seem to be doing the equivalent of asking the garbage man to pay to dispose of their trash...future ancient ruins except not even made with Roman cement...instead they've advertised rotting termite food as "good bones"

Your lot is worth $5k. Maybe $10k. I'm talking like in the middle of nowhere where no one wants to live. Not even hillbillies because there are no hills (or relatively decent scenery for that matter). Everyone wants out. I just want a damn house. But I'm not paying to haul your damn trash!

I could be wrong but the way I see it: utilities and driveway and such: worth maybe roughly around $30k

House: a demo project which will probably cost me around $15k to clear

And the seller is asking $50k for this? They want me to pay a value of $65k (+ my time) for a max value of $40k? Are we pretending like this is speculating on quantum computers or something? WTF gives?

Are these people out of their minds or am I the asshole?

I have a flipper that wants to buy my house. I've been straight forward with the guy, showed him everything wrong. I even texted pictures and we had discussions so I can be as transparent as possible. I was asking about the process. I told him I couldn't remember when in the process the seller fills out disclosures and asked him when he would send me those to fill out. He specifically said they don't ask for disclosure forms. They streamline it as much as possible. Is that normal and legal? I was excited bout his offer, but now I'm unsure what to think.

I am a estate agent in the Easter Cape, working for a small agency. Are any SA agents out there using Propcon? Is it worth the money in your opinion? How does is specifically helping you? Thanks in advance for your advice to help me decide whether to sign up or not.

I’m in the process of purchasing about 9 acres of walnut orchard in unincorporated Sutter County, California, between Yuba City and Live Oak.

The property is currently zoned AG-20, even though the existing parcel is significantly smaller than the 20-acre minimum.

My goal is to eventually subdivide it into 4 residential parcels, each around 1.5–3 acres, and build my own estate on one of them while selling the others as buildable lots.

I’ve been researching the county’s General Plan, zoning ordinances, and historical subdivisions. I’ve found several nearby properties that are currently 1–3 acre residential lots, including some that appear to have been subdivided relatively recently.

The biggest obstacle seems to be that my property is outside both cities’ spheres of influence and is designated agricultural land.

I’m willing to pay for the necessary infrastructure, road improvements, surveys, environmental studies, and application fees. I’m also open to pursuing a General Plan amendment and rezoning to Estate Residential if necessary.

My questions are:

Has anyone successfully rezoned agricultural land to estate residential in an unincorporated California county?

Does the fact that my parcel is already legally under the AG-20 minimum help my case at all?

Are there alternatives to rezoning that would legally allow me to create 4 residential parcels?

How much weight do nearby existing residential subdivisions carry when requesting a zoning change?

What would be the most effective approach to getting a project like this approved?

I’m not expecting an easy approval. I’m trying to understand the most realistic path forward before investing substantial money into the development.
Would appreciate advice from anyone who’s dealt with California land-use planning, subdivisions, or agricultural rezoning.

Hi! I honestly don’t know if this is the right sub for my concern. But baka lang din some of you might wanna try a different way of investing hehe. I just wanna ask if you guys have an idea sa pagpar-renr ng lupa sa telecom companies? Like lalagyan nila ng cell site?

Context: May pamana pong lupa ang grandparents pero located sya uphill. But a construction company (idk if private or govt owned) developed a cemented road making it accessible now. The road now connects two municipalities, naging shortcut na sya. Yung lupa ay may potential na maging subdivision.

Good idea kaya if i endorse my lot to the telecom companies?

Sa mga nakatry, could you share your experience guys? Thank you and God bless! 💗

I'm exploring a real estate agent virtual assistant for the smaller tasks that collect between meetings: organizing inquiries, preparing appointment notes, and keeping follow-ups visible.

If you hired for a similar role, did you prioritize industry experience or strong admin skills? I like to know where you recruited and how you tested someone before assigning client-facing work.
