The FAQ’s:
Is Camping Allowed?
You can camp short term without a permit: 14 days every 3 months, or you may camp up to 180 days, with a permit, if you install a septic tank and have a water source.
Building Restrictions?
Check with county for specific requirements, but basic requirements for building a home are minimum 600 square feet.  Mobile/Manufactured Homes are allowed if manufactured after 1976.  Must have water source & septic to live on the property.
Utilities?
Most properties in this area do not have any external utilities.  Electricity is usually accomplished with Solar technology.  300+ days of sunshine a year make this a great option.  Water here would be by a well or a holding tank. Wells are typically 80-120 feet deep.  Sewer would be a standard septic system, or other alternative waste system approved by the state/county.
Are there liens on the property?
There are no liens on the property.  We purchased the property from the county directly (see picture of the actual deed).  The county foreclosed on the property due to unpaid taxes.  This foreclosure process wipes out any previous liens on the property.  Ownership will be transferred to the new owners via a Special Warranty Deed recorded with the county.
How to complete the closing after the auction?
After the close of the auction we will be in contact with you through EBAY messaging to arrange full payment.  We currently accept Venmo, Zelle, Facebook Payments, cashier’s check, ACH bank Transfer, and bank wire.  Venmo, Zelle, and Facebook usually have daily limits but we can figure out a solution.  We will ask you to send us the exact name you want on the deed as ownership for the property.  We also need a mailing address for future tax statements to be sent, and your email address.  We will use this info to draft the documents needed to transfer the property into your name.  We will take care of recording the deed with the county.  The county will then mail you the original recorded deed in a few weeks.
I am skeptical.  Is this a scam?
We get it.  Making a large purchase online is difficult.  We encourage you to check out our positive ebay feedback rating.  You will see we have been around for a while and plan on continuing to offer great deals here on ebay in the future.  In addition we are a licensed Real Estate Broker.  We are not licensed in the State of Colorado, so we are not acting as such in this transaction, but this shows a level of professionalism and commitment to ethical business practices.  Also feel free to call us at 952-223-5400.
Please ask us any questions and do your own due diligence on this property before you bid. This property is sold as is where is.  We encourage you to make a site visit to the property prior to purchase as we do not have the ability to personally visit each property we sell.  Pictures in this listing are not necessarily from the actual property listed, but were taken in the same subdivision within a mile of this property.
