I started getting these solicitations in the snail mail a few years ago. I've owned my place for 14 years. They get the info from the courthouse on your parcel. The words vacant land is always used. It has an offer for the property. Often if you look them up it's in a small strip mall. I have two identical 20 acre parcels end to end and it's always the eastern one. I guess that parcel looks more vacant but in reality the old cabin is almost cut in half by the parcels. I think my surveyor even mentioned that. Since it's always the same parcel they offer to buy I imagine someone did the leg work initially and then sold my information to other real estate companies that do the same thing. The offer is always half what I paid for it. Yes you guessed it, I got another one today. Now I just find them on google maps and leave them a one star review. The recent one said we are actually wanting the property as investment. Well dummy maybe that's partly why I bought it but it being a poor county it's not the best place to invest in real estate. In the past year though I have watched places on the market for a long time suddenly sell. I just felt like a small rant.
