Sometimes, the best way to property is by approaching things the old-fashioned way: talking to the neighbors. These face-to -face interactions often will provide information that doesn’t exist in public documentation, like the original plans for the development, how often properties are bought and sold, unknown renovations with the land or construction.

All of it will still have to be paid, just as if you lived there, while the property sits on the market. Obviously, it’s money that ought to be invested or saved but instead is being plowed back into a vacant space. There are new challenges, however, that inevitably follow any attempt to sell a property that’s empty. Here’s how to navigate it all.
