What are my responsibilities as a buyer?
We encourage all of our buyers to complete their own due diligence. IX Properties does its best to obtain information on each property, but it is always best that you educate yourself as much as possible before purchasing. This can include a site visit, verification of our ownership through the county records, verification of taxes being paid current, etc.

No.
Who can I call to verify that the taxes are paid current?
You can contact the County Treasurer’s Office in most cases.
Is there real estate tax on purchased property?
Real estate tax varies from state to state. We do pay all fees necessary to transfer ownership including the transfer tax if applicable.
What about title insurance and a title search?
You can purchase title insurance or a title search through a title company in that County. If you would like a reference for a title company, then let us know and we will refer you to the title company that we use.
What do POA and HOA mean?
POA and HOA stands for Property Owner’s Association or Home Owner’s Association. This is an association usually formed by the property owners of a particular subdivision. Some of these associations have annual assessments which are always noted in the listing. These dues are used to improve or maintain roads, upkeep of the community area, etc.
What does APN mean?
Assessor’s Parcel Number. This is a number assigned to properties by the counties. Each parcel of land has its own unique number.
What type of deed do you use to transfer ownership?
In most cases we use a special warranty deed to transfer ownership. This deed warrants to our buyer (the Grantee) that we will defend the right and title to the property against claims against the buyer that arise from, under or through us (the Grantor).
What is a quit claim deed?
A deed that does not imply that the grantor holds title, but that surrenders and gives to the grantee any possible interest or rights that the grantor may have in the property. We seldom use this deed and would disclose the use of this deed in the property listing if it was to be used.
Other questions about deed types?
Contact us with your questions.
Do I need to register to view or buy property from IX Properties?
Yes, you have to register to purchase land through our site.
What is a dedicated easement?
It is the legally recorded access to a property. It is usually seen on subdivision maps as the designated roads. It is usually granted to the property when the property is originally subdivided and it is recorded at the county. A dedicated easement guarantees you the right to access your property so that it is not landlocked. You have the right to blade this access and make a road if it doesn’t already exist. There was a lot of land subdivided in the 60’s and 70’s in the western states and many of these areas had bulldozers blade the roads along easements and section lines.
Are mineral rights included with the property and can I build on a piece of property that does not have mineral rights?
Mineral rights require research through the county as well as the BLM (Bureau of Land Management). If you want to know if mineral rights are included you would need to search this yourself. In many cases mineral rights have been reserved by a previous owner and I have also been told that even if someone granted or reserved the mineral rights through a deed that doesn’t necessarily mean that they owned them to begin with. However mineral rights do not determine whether the property is buildable. If there were no mineral rights granted from the US Government or if someone has previously reserved the mineral rights the land is still buildable and can be used for the purposes determined by the County zoning.
I called the County Assessor’s Office and they said the property was under a different name than IX Properties, Who are these other people?
We buy land from many different sources and the turnaround time on properties we buy and sell can be a matter of days. Once a deed is recorded at the County Recorder’s Office they give this information to the County Assessor’s Office. The County Assessor is responsible for keeping track of who owns what property and assessing the value of what that property is. Each county does this process differently. Some counties are very technologically up to date and the time it takes to actually show this transfer is a day. Other counties only update this information every few months at best. Most likely the name is under who we purchased it from, but ask us for the date, book and page and you can verify the transfer through the County or we will fax you a copy of the recorded deed.
Do you have more land then what is listed?
Yes, we do have more land then listed on our site. Please contact us for any inquries that you may have.
Are there any discounts for purchasing more then one property?
We occasionally offer discounts to investors wishing to purchase multiple parcels. Please contact us directly for more information.
Can foreigners own property in the United States?
There are no problems with foreigners owning property that we are aware of. Just be aware that because you own property in the USA does not give you the right to live here. Most computer systems in the states can accommodate the different addresses but it is always a good idea when dealing with a foreign address that you follow up to make sure you receive your annual tax notice from the Treasurer’s office since those need to be paid on an annual bases or risk being foreclosed on.
