@Michael Guydish I'll bet you there would be very high demand in SC for an airstream situation if done right, although zoning/permits might be difficult. Depending on zoning you could look at subdividing, although it didn't sound like that's the direction you want to go? Then you run into the issue of finding buyers for undeveloped lots. We are trying to figure that out right now- we are trying to work a deal that would result in a lot in an area where finished houses sell for 1.2-3 million, but it's at the top of our budget and then we worry about having to hold an empty lot for a while if it takes a long time to sell...

@Jay Hinrichs agreed regarding that it's near impossible to get logging permits in an area like that in California these days. My family has been in the logging business for 3 generations in California and I'm sure that it's gotten even more difficult since you tried 20 years ago. We have looked at a few properties in Northern California to make the timber play, but it didn't quite pencil out for us at this stage. It's great to hear from somebody who has done it successfully! Love to see the timber industry represented!

@Greg Gibson This is a great story! Thanks for sharing!

@Zachary Freeman I know this is an old thread, but did you end up moving forward with this? How did it turn out?

Has anyone out there used Flyhomes to buy or sell real estate? It looks like they essentially buy a property using their cash and then you buy it from them for the same price. Does anybody out there have any experience using them?

That's a good place to start. It would probably help your case to get official statements from your neighbors. Probably a good idea to get some legal advice from an attorney to guide you through the steps. 

I would look into right of ways or easements. I don't know much about this, but if you have a history that you can prove in which you have had access to the property, you likely have a case for legally keeping your driveway. 

@Jacquelyn West isn't it so frustrating to have a deal and not know where to go next? We are looking outside our local area which makes things even more difficult. 

I have a deal that would result in a lot split if all goes well. I would like to get a buyer for the lot lined up before we pull the trigger, but not sure how to get in touch with builders/developers who might be interested. What's the best way to find potential interested parties and reach out?

I know this is an old thread, but I have been wondering the same thing. Looking at splitting a double lot and selling the empty half, but not sure how to price it. Homes in the area on similar sized lots are selling for 1-2.5 million.
