You’ve probably seen them tucked among the clutter in your mailbox: Picturesque mailings on nice card stock touting beautiful lots of land at unbelievably low prices. The advertisements typically include a sale date so as to put haste into your decision-making.
The mass mailings, designed to play on our desires to own a second home, can be quite tempting. I mean, who doesn’t want multiple acres of undeveloped land in a picturesque setter? What’s not to like about having a second home on the lake? Who wouldn’t want a mountain stream running through their backyard?
Money expert Clark Howard says while such mass real estate advertisements aren’t necessarily a scam, extreme caution should be exercised when considering them.
