Selling vacant land is rarely as simple as finding a buyer, agreeing on a price, and signing papers. Unlike residential homes, vacant parcels come with unique blind spots that aren’t visible from the road, such as boundary discrepancies, hidden tax liens, access disputes, and complex heirship issues.

In this episode, JP Kilduff and Nick Marinos break down the five most frequent pitfalls landowners encounter when trying to sell their property, how these mistakes cause deals to fall through, and what you can do to protect your equity.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Delinquent Property Taxes & County Disconnects: How outdated mailing records between the county assessor and tax collector can lead to unexpected tax deed auctions, certificate liens, and title clouds.
• Physical vs. Legal Access: Why driving down a dirt path for decades or relying on a handshake agreement doesn’t equal legal access, and what title underwriters require before closing.
• Untangled Ownership & Probate Records: The critical documentation you need beforehand, from parcel IDs and deeds to death certificates and heirship affidavits, especially for inherited acreage.
• The Pitfalls of Guesswork Pricing: Why overpricing leaves land sitting on the market to go stale, and how extreme underpricing raises red flags about hidden defects like flood zones or topography issues.
• Choosing the Right Sales Path: Compare traditional real estate listings, For Sale By Owner (FSBO), and direct cash buyers, plus key red flags to watch for when vetting direct investment companies.
