Minimum size of the lot:

1 acre is about the size of a football field.   Most city lots are about 0.2 acres

Are you OK with Jet Noise? Our Island hosts a very large U.S. Navy base (12,500 sailors) – there are two runways in Oak Harbor and one "touch & go" runway in Coupeville. The jets are noisy when they are in their patterns (I flew Navy jets for 20 years). Would you consider a property under an air-traffic pattern?

Price: what sales price does it have to stay under?

For example, if you tell me $100,000... I will show you all vacant lots up to about $115,000 – thinking that certain $115K sellers “might” take $100K or below.

How are you going to pay for this vacant lot?

1. Loan – are you pre-approved with a lender, or may I recommend a good one? "Vacant Lot" loans typically require 20-30% down depending on the lender.

2. Cash – be prepared to show “evidence of funds” to the seller of the home you want to buy. A current bank statement with your name and the amount is suitable, with the acct number redacted.

3. You need to sell your house first - this is called a "contingent" offer

   1. Is it listed yet?

   2. If not, may I recommend a top Realtor in your hometown (I belong to a national network of top producers who will pay me 25% of their commission if they can help you sell your home – this means they are HIGHLY motivated to please you and me)

Tell me any other information on your plans for payment:

Offers require “earnest money,” which is typically 1% of the sales price rounded to the nearest 1,000. For example, a $225,000 lot would expect to see a check for $2,000. This gets deposited after your offer is accepted, then comes back to your escrow account near closing, as part of your closing costs.
