Hope u guys realizing u starting to scare the hell out of him

Better to know what bases one has to cover, than to start the process, and realize you missed something.

I really appreciate all of the responses. It helps when you hear about other people's experiences with it and and helps with things to keep in mind as I continue to explore the options out there.
I am definitely in no rush as you have to consider it as an investment - got to find the right property for the right price in the right area.

Some areas are easier to put a deal together with than others. If I may ask,which area are you interested in?

Also, I'm not sure if they 'legally' have to disclose it, but make sure that if your looking at a parcel that no 'Conservation' group has it's hooks into the property. My buddy came across a few when he was looking that had land development restrictions due to wetlands on the property.

Sometimes this can drop the price though too. I know of areas where the original homestead or a certain part of high ground is open for building but the rest is protected, often the price an be lower but you are restricted in what you want to do.

I live in Peterborough so I am looking for something within an hour to hour and half away at the most.
I am fairly new to hunting but I would like to target grouse, turkey and deer. Possibly ducks and geese if possible but they aren't priority.

[/QUOTE] There is a company out of Barrie called the H.M.Dignam Corp. I bought many of my parcels off them at first. They also will hold the financing on the land.

Good luck.[/QUOTE]


I subscribe to Digman as well. the properties are generally small 1 - 10 acres. they offer a cash price as well as a finance option. mostly less than 50k with lots between 15 and 30k

Good luck!!.

Most organized Townships have a minimum construction size of 700 SqFt. Unorganized townships further North are more lenient with their requirements.

When I bought this farm, the bank would only mortgage the house and buildings and 5 acres....the remaining 95 acres was not part of the mortgage and I had to get a loan to buy it.

Nice to find out the day your signing the papers, at least they were happy to 'lend' me what I needed.

I would never have guessed that banks would not mortgage vacant land....does anybody know the logic behind this ?
