In an auction of bank-owned foreclosed real estate, I won a plot of land. The land is 2.9 acres of industrial zoned land in Winthrop Harbor, IL. There are no structures built on that land. The bank agreed to the price.
The amount was $30,000 dollars.
I do not anticipate that anyone will try to scam me on this purchase, or take advantage of me in any way. The other party is a bank.
To that end, I wonder if I can just show up for closing by myself without a lawyer, sign everything and get done. I would not consider doing that if not for
1) Low purchase price 2) Lack of buildings 3) No loan involved 4) Bank as the seller.Realistically speaking, is there a good practical reason to get a lawyer in this situation?
