On market for YEARS. Chinese RE Agent.
WTF is wrong with it?

Toxic waste dump?

Looks like someone wanted to make an indoor dope grow.

>Nothing around for ages aside from a little 1 square mile town
Making a living off farming when you only have 20 acres to work with is not really doable, and due to the very low population of the area there's probably no other work to be found. So the only real reason to buy this property is if you could also buy additional large farm plots in the area to work, which there may not be any available.
>>
The land is nice, but the house is small and in the middle of nowhere. Previous title issues that have been "resolved," as-is condition, and whatever the hell a holding tank for sewage implies. Does that mean it needs emptied regularly, unlike a septic system?
>>
>>2998824
the houses are just old mobile homes with new roofs
might be a decent place to start homesteading if you have a work from home job to support it but the homes should be treated as temporary while you build something new
>>
>>2998833
I'm thinking hobby farm (I'm retired construction worker).

Its an hour from large town which seems about right.

RE Agent said reason it fell out of Pending last year was "Title company screwed up and made mistake on similar name, but all cleared up now".

Sounds fishy. Sure we talking Okies but that sounds like something that just don't happen and if someone makes a typo or WTF that is killing a deal then Adult Supervision happens, even for Okies, and if someone wanted to Buy The Farm I doubt that would kill a deal, since its a mildly unique property.
If the Title company fucked up a real Buyer would ride it out until fixed, if that was really the reason.

said the old finished house has working septic, nothing hooked up to new unfinished house.
>>

>it needs emptied regularly, unlike a septic system?
Correct. I have this on my property since the ground would not pass perc testing, so a drainage field type septic system wouldn't work. I just have a septic company scheduled to pump the tank out once a month.
>>
>>2998843
>said the old finished house has working septic
A holding tank is technically "working septic", but it's awful because regular pumping costs a lot of money in the long run.

>>2998844
do you gotta be real careful how much water you use?

A typical U.S. family of four uses about 9,000 to 12,000 gallons of water per month.
https://www.equipmentsfinder.com/products/rent/sewage-tanker-1000-10000-gallon/17261

thats a 22 wheeler Dubai Special!

But I hear OK got lotta bad perc, so to be legit you need Aerobic.

But I'm getting lots of hedging and playing dumb from RE agents as to "Is the Septic PERMITTED?"

I'm sensing that unpermitted septic is SOP out in rural areas, and I've also heard that "Grandfathered in" don't play with Septic on house sale, and WTF knows if that is enforced.

Even in Santa Cruz, CA rural RE flyers 1/2 the ads would say "Built with PERMITS! :)" or "newer guest house built with Permits", the implication being.....
>>
>>2998844
That blows. How big is the tank? I'd think with showers and running laundry and stuff it would fill up quickly. Is there a gauge to tell how full it is? Or is it just for black water, with gray water being discharged elsewhere?
>>
>>2998846
must be why its been for sale for 2yrs, even though its "nice land".

I think I'm starting to de-code this.

There is an unfinished 2nd house. He figured he'd just build it like someone did years prior for the first one and put in 1/2 assed septic, but County saw it and said "whoa!, WTF you planning on? We know you can't perk and we don't allow holding tanks on new builds because Okies will just overflow them".

Having the 2nd house was only way this property would work for him.

Oh, and that was why it fell out of Pending last year.
>>
>>2998847
Holding tanks are typically well oversized.

As far as unpermitted drainage type septic systems, that will get you in a shitload of trouble with the EPA if it's discovered, and that shit's federal which you don't want in your life.
>>
>>2998848
>Is there a gauge to tell how full it is?
A guage isn't typical, but they usually have a sensor and alarm that goes off it it gets near full.
>>
Prop lines are in middle of 2 out of 4 chicken houses, which means it looks like a couple sets of Okies got Easements on the driveway.
>>
But I think it might actually been legit issue with Title, since seems owners are Chinese and there is some issue of duplicate names in translation or they got less diff names so there are so many duplicates.

Thats why Hawaii used to issue "Obama Birth Certs" to anyone for $10 and now questions asked. Hawaii would be the first civilization people would land on coming from the Orient, and a Birth Cert in Chinese or Japanese wouldn't work at your local School District.

But I still think the real issue is the septic situation.
>>
Real Estate agent AND local Septic inspection really screwed this new OK home buyer.

https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/14jrj1g/just_bought_home_discovered_that_septic_system/

I think the issue is that "Septic Inspection" will ALWAYS pass if no one has been living in the house for a week, or even 3 days, or even "taking it easy" on the water use because they know they need to cover up a problem.

Basically like letting a sucker "test drive" but only for a few miles, knowing it will overheat in about 5 miles.

This sounds like its the inspector's professional indemnity insurer's problem.

1. No one goes on zillow to buy farmland, do they?
2. Year built: 1960, I foresee lots of problems
3. Keota, Oklahoma, population: 438. Like another anon said, there's no sustainable market there for farm goods
3. The bedrooms and bathrooms look like ass. It's like sleeping in a toolshed
4. They repeatedly state 'sold as-is', which means there's definitely renovations to be made beyond the obvious unfinished builds. See point #2.
5. Holding tank sewage on the MAIN house. Eff that
6. Says electricity for heating. Seems weird to only reference the electrical situation in this way but it might just be their way of saying there's no gas
7. Unfinished second house. Depending on how long it's been in that state it might need renovations before continuing the build, which means finishing it will cost more than you think. Even if it's fine now, you still have to push to either finish it or prevent damage from happening. So that's an additional upfront cost.
8. "Ideal green pastureland that would be perfect for cattle, farming or haybales" - I.e. the land hasn't been prepared for anything in particular which means there's an upfront cost to turn it into something usable that's farm related.
9. Two chicken houses... but one was converted to something else and that something else wasn't ever completed. That means paying to finish yet another half-assed build
10. Cumulative days on market: 604 days and the price has been lowered twice just this year alone.

I would check websites that specialize in that type of land. LandSearch, LandWatch, LandandFarm, LandFlip. They have specialized search functions for everything related to farms, even down to filtering to only show properties with septic systems

I live on a lot like that due to severe autism.
It's like cartmanland, but with a dirtbike track and a shooting range.
No you can't come over.
Someone will probably find me mummified after I wreck the bike and there is nobody there to check on me for 30 years.
You can keep the bike.
I code and sell mobile apps for a living.
>>
>>2999030
Also there is a 70's house on the lot, but I for bored after about 8 months of reno and I had a single wide delivered by it.
I haven't been in the house probably in a year and a half.
>>
>>2998824
that land looks pretty bad for farming but maybe you can set up some animals there or something.
It would be nice to dig a pond on and have a little miniature lake that you could fish in and water can collect in there from all over your property with gentle grading to a depression in the ground

Or greenhouses for cash crops
