About Elko

According to Travel Nevada, “Sitting at an elevation of more than 5,000 feet, Elko is known as “Nevada with Altitude,” a moniker to which it truly lives up. The thriving northeastern, Nevada city is bordered by the towering, snow-capped Ruby Mountains, often called the Alps of Nevada, and the lush, glacier-carved Lamoille Canyon. And that means there's no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy, everything from down ATVing to out-of-this-world heli-skiing. Within minutes of downtown Elko, visitors can enjoy rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, fishing or backpacking- and that's just the start. Elko's humble beginning came in 1869, when it was established as a railroad site town. It quickly became home to rail workers and their families., Nevada's first high school opened in Elko in 1885, and the University of, Nevada welcomed its first students there in 1874 before moving to Reno 11 years later.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I visit the property? Of course. There is no need to make an appointment - please feel free to visit the property at any time. Please also note that we won't be able to meet you at the lot.

Does the property have an address? No, since the property is a vacant parcel of land, it hasn't been assigned an address. However, you can plug the approximate GPS coordinates into Google Maps in order to locate the property.

Has a survey been done? No, we have not had a survey commissioned, but if you would like to pay for a survey we would be happy to work with your chosen surveyor.

Can you build on the property? Because we do not know the specifics of what you may want to build on the property, we recommend that you contact the building and/or zoning department(s) for more information on the relevant zoning and building regulations and how to obtain a building permit.

Can you park an RV on the property? We recommend that you contact the county to confirm, but, in most counties, RVs are only allowed on a temporary basis.

Are taxes up to date? We pay all tax bills as soon as we receive them, but you can always check with the County Treasurer to verify taxes have been paid.

Has a title search been done? Given the price point of our properties, we do not typically purchase a title search or title insurance when we buy a lot. However, we do our own research to check for title issues and liens and would never purchase a property that has a known title issue. We are also happy to work with the company of your choosing at buyer's expense.

How does the closing process work? We try to keep the closing simple and straightforward. Please just send us the full name of everyone you would like on the deed, a mailing address and phone number, and whether you would like to purchase with cash or utilize owner financing. We will then send you an invoice for either the down payment plus the document fee or the cash discount price plus the document fee. We accept payment via Zelle, wire transfer or ACH transfer as well as PayPal for properties priced under $5000.

If you purchase with owner financing, we will then send the loan documents to you for your signature via docusign.

If you purchase with cash, we will then draft and record the deed transferring title to you. Once the deed is recorded, we will send you a copy for your records.

Do you work with a title company? Yes, we are always happy to work with the company of your choosing at buyer's expense.

How does owner financing work? With owner financing, we will sign a land contract that gives you legal right to use the property; however, you won't be able to pull any building permits during the loan term. Once the down payment and document fee are paid, we will send you a link to our third party loan servicing software, where you will make monthly payments for the length of the loan term. After the loan is paid in full, we will then transfer title to you.

What kind of deed will I receive? You will receive a special warranty deed, which means the seller is guaranteeing that the property wasn't encumbered during the time of his/her ownership.

How many people can be included on the deed? You can have as many people listed on the deed as you would like.

Can the deed be made out to an Llc? Yes, the deed can be made out to an LLC or corporation.

Does the property come with mineral rights? We buy all of our properties assuming that we only have the surface rights. In order to determine whether a particular property has mineral rights, you will usually need to hire a title company to run a mineral rights search going all the way back to the original homestead.
