Lots/properties that sell for $1, are they a legit thing or do they sell for more??
Hello I’m 21yrs old and am interested in real estate investing still know next to nothing but I’m here to learn. I just happened to look at commercial properties for sale for the heck of it but I’m seeing properties/land that are listed for only $1 to $100. I was wondering do they actually sell for that price and what kind of fees go into buying something that large. 

Thank you for you knowledge and experience!

As others said, take a look at the property's historical sale prices and see if there are any abnormalities in the transaction history. There could be encumbrances, such as liens attached to the property, that are conveyed with the deed. And if the listing or seller tries to sneak in the terms \"as-is,\" it's a no-go. It means that the property comes with no covenants or warranties from the seller (for all you know, seller might not even have the right to convey ownership).\n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nBut if you're considering a certain property, DM me and I can pull some information from my sources for you. Would be happy to help", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
