It is time to start thinking of buying hunting land

Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

Yes, I know that you can not see 5 feet in front of you in good hunting woods, but there is a lot of work to be done before you set foot in the forest.

Take these into consideration.

 

How are you going to pay for this purchase?

Loan, cash, C4Deed

How much can you afford?

What area are you planning to hunt.?

What type of game are you after?

 

Are you buying this alone?

If you have a partner, how do yo go into title.

What if one party wants to sell or needs to.

Is there a time period that the other owner(s) have to buy you out?

How do you determine value?

Can one party sell to a stranger without or with approval of the other party(S)

 

Who is hunting this land?

If owned by multiple owners how do you decide who hunts and where and if new hunters can be brought in to hunt also.

What kind of shelter(S) will be needed or allowed and where will they be located.

Will there be restrictions on the size and sex of game

How do you handle the property expenses...Money set aside for taxes up front?

 

These are just a few issues to think about when buying the property.  Many people think that buying with a good friend or relative is a great idea, but there can be a lot of issues when doing so.  Plan well! 

 

There are many more issues to think about...How ethical it that other party...could cause issue with the law for you.

 

Not everyone understands the real issues...call me and let me help...I will also give you a few ideas of current listing I would consider!

 

And Remember...North Branch, Minnesota has some great hunting to offer.

William Feela way back in the 70's when I did hunt I was amazed at what people paid for hunting land. I should have gotten a clue back then and purchased as much as I could.... maybe I did.... I didn't have any money so I guess I got all I could afford.

Bob...Sadly I see issues with multiple buyers of the same land when they don't have a written plan

It must be a testament to the fact that I'm a "Sidewalks - Curbs - Gutters" kinda gal.  I have never thought about the possibility of buying hunting land.  But can understand why in many places of this country it would be.

I usually coasts between the coasts in my travels I don't get to go to Minnesota very often, although Alaska was quite a trip and it has quite a hunting history!

Bill, you almost scare people off with this blog...but hopefully it opens many an eye to the challanges when buying Hunting land or any recreational land for that matter.

As I said to Vern, Bill certainly knows what he's talking about when it comes to hunting land.
