Camp property search

I think if I was going to have a year-round off-grid setup, I'd want to stick a generator house a ways from the house and run a big cable. I just can't stand motor noises at night.

Well you shouldn't ever have to run your generator overnight. All you need is a very basic amount of battery charge to keep a fridge and freezer going overnight. (assuming a woodstove for heat).

I should add we are 50k apart.

That ain't hay.

Shucks. If you can come up 10 or 15k...., I would put a new offer in their face fairly soon.

We don't want to get into a bidding war. Our realtor says someone has scheduled to see it on Monday, who is the second one since it went on the market. We'll make a counter off after they've seen it. What is a chance they'll make an offer?

It seems like a nice property, but there will always be another one that is even better. I'm guessing that the owners are fighting with each other to get the most money they can without any motivation to actually sell the place.

Typical real estate agent bs. Sit tight, let them think you have moved on. Don't discuss anything with your agent that you don't want to get back to the listing agent, they all talk too much....

This is a great point. You think your agent is looking out only for your interests, but in reality what they want is their 3% commission with a sale closed ASAP so they can move on. So they scheme with the other agent.

We are sitting on our hands for now, easy to do since we are now 2 states away. We are looking at other listing's, via the web and might tell our realtor we might want to see X one. If our realtor is worth anything, he'd tell the sellers guy, they are looking at others.

Agreed. Even if you don't make another offer just now, your realtor should be finessing things behind the scenes.

I wouldnt expect many other buyers to compete to buy a property with no access to the electric grid. The sellers may have it in their head that the property is worth more than it really is.
