Empty Building Lot
Some empty building lots become eyesores over
time if the property owner has very little interest in maintaining the
property.
This seems to be a big problem with so many people owning real estate
that live either out of state or even out of this country.
If you live near a property like this you can always contact your local
government or planning department and find out who is responsible for
maintaining the property.
If you can't get any answers, contact your local fire department and
sometimes these people can get the property cleaned to prevent a fire
hazard.
Keep in mind some empty building lots will be built on eventually and if
you are thinking about purchasing a home near one, it would be a good
idea to find out what the property is zoned for.
The property could be zoned for a large shopping mall or even a school,
which could create a problem for you later.
I lived across the street from an empty property for over 15 years, that
was eventually built on, the new property owners now look at a large
retaining wall over 20 feet high, where before the property was
developed there was a nice view of the surrounding hills and area.
Empty lots when built on, eventually mean more people in the area to
create more traffic also.
I have mentioned this before and mention it in my book also, it seems
like most people don't give enough thought before purchasing a home, but
will have plenty of time after the home purchase to become more
irritated because they didn't realize some of the problems in the area.
