Two Track Properties

We just closed on 40 acres in Beggs, Oklahoma that we walked away from last year.

Back in March 2024, this looked like the perfect property - 120 acres total with great road frontage and rural water already at the road. We got it under contract fast.

Then the title work came back and everything fell apart.

Oklahoma is an Abstract of Title state, which means they research ownership all the way back to the 1800s or earlier, when the government first recognized title to the land. It's expensive and it takes forever, but there's no shortcut.

Turns out our seller only owned pieces of the property - 1/5 of the front 40 acres, all of the middle 40 acres, and 5/18 of the back 40 acres. The other owners? Nobody knew where they were. Nobody had paid taxes in decades. Nobody was taking care of the land.

We cancelled the contract. It seemed impossible to fix.

But that middle 40 acres kept nagging at me. Clean title, great access, solid property. So we started asking around about how to handle the messy parts.
Here's what we learned: when co-owners disappear for decades and stop paying taxes, there are legal ways to resolve it. We could buy the middle 40 with an easement for access, sell it, then use those funds to file partition suits on the other two parcels.

We're listing the middle 40 soon after we clear a driveway to it.

If your family owns land with other relatives you can't locate, or if you inherited a fraction of a property and don't know what to do with it, we can help. These situations have solutions - you just need someone willing to work through the complexity.

"This is the first good thing I've heard about my biological father since he passed away 10 years ago."

An heir said this to me about a 12.9 acre property in North Texas.

He didn't even know the land existed.

$20,226 in back taxes.
Weeks away from auction.
Three biological children.
No will.
No probate filed.

The family was about to lose everything.

Most investors see this and run.

We closed it in under 3 weeks.

This is what we do.

We just listed this Cedar Valley Acres lot on Facebook (Lot 7, 1.27 acres), and many buyers ask us: "How do I know this is legit? How does buying land through Facebook actually work?"

Totally fair questions. Fortunately, we have done this hundreds of times! Our first suggestion is check us out online, see who we are and verify our ownership at the county.

Once you gain confidence on the property itself, sales can be done via self-closing or through a title company. For us, we use a title company exclusively just to make both of our lives easier. We make sure to then get a contract signed before moving forward with any land deal.

We'll have that contract signed and then engage a local title company - they're the neutral third party that verifies ownership, holds funds safely in escrow, and ensures you get a clean deed. We're doing exactly that with our Cedar Valley Acres lots. Everything runs through a reputable Cedar City title company to protect both buyer and seller.
