Buying Land Sight Unseen? Photos Are Marketing. County Records Are Evidence.

You found a lot two states away, and now you're scared to buy it blind. Here's the thing: the photos are marketing. The county records are the evidence, and they're all online. On a nineteen ninety-five parcel, a trip can double the price. So verify instead of visit. Confirm the owner matches the assessor. Match the parcel number, not the address. Check taxes are current. And confirm legal road access. Read the refund terms before you pay, not after. Address on screen.
