First time buying land. Looking at St Johns Arizona

[Katrice Shields]

First time looking into purchasing land. Looking in the St John's area in Arizona. I have been trying to research all the requirements but i also want to look into any disadvantages of acquiring land so that i'm well versed in all areas of topics. If anybody has any experiences and tips/tricks they'd like to share about the area. 

Also, has anybody heard of a situation where they offer a shared well for the community where you're allowed to get a certain amount per said timeframe. I don't know if that's just too good to be true or if there's something hidden maintenance that will come with this deal. 

Any insight and advice is greatly appreciated.

Depends. A lot of that land is tribal land that can't actually be bought. It can be leased but not bought. If it's on county land, you check with the county. If it's on tribal land you check with the county and with the tribe.

 Hi Ken

Great point. Never thought of that. The agent did not mention anything about it being a part of a tribal land but I will now check on that. Thanks so much.
