if you own a house, and the local govt wants to build on the?

Yes, but the "fair"ness depends on the situation.  If they're taking your land to give to private developers, the private developers obviously couldn't afford to pay the ACTUAL price that land owners would have charge them for it.  So, unethical governments will use imminent domain to steal the land, then they will have the private developers put stores on it that will cause the price of the land to skyrocket.

They give you the basics, like the materials stacked at the site are the basics for a house.  It is up to you to make them a house you would like to live in.

no.  the government is in the business of encouraging home ownership, not funding it.  the whole point of home ownership is to put some equity into something so you have a sense of connection to this massive pile of debt you've just bought.  if the government gave you the downpayment, what sense of connection is that?  you bought a house with the government's money and there's nothing keeping you from walking away.

You can.\nYou would most likely have to hire someone to care for the properties for you.\nThere are companies that do only that for people that either live outside the state or country.

It's hard to say hypothetically, but often when a local government needs to build something, they use cash-on-hand as much as they can and borrow what they need to to make up the difference.  The cash usually comes from a budget surplus. So in your example, they might use $25 million from that year's budget surplus and borrow the other $75 million in the bind market.

Anything they want unless the park is rent controlled or subsidized by the goverment. This is a common bait and switch tactic. The hope is that you will abandon the home and they can take posession and sell it off to the next sucker in line.

You could call a local realtor. They would probably know, if not they could direct you within your community.

This answer would be specific to England/Wales only\n\nCommunity tax is case-specific, however, knowing local authorities' need for money, especially in areas where there are a high concentration of second homes, I believe that you would have to prove that there is no way that you can occupy the house before you would be exempt from paying Council tax. As a second home, the charge would be half of the tax for a home of the same banding in the district

You mean your retired and living on a government check?\n\nIf your living in private housing... They can raise the rent all they want.  Unless your local has rent control laws. \n\nIts called business.

Yes, it very well could.  You need to come to some agreement, like them paying you that that section of property.

nope, as an owner you can build anything you want to with a permit of course, as long as it is built to code.

Land leases from the government are for specific purposes like grazing cattle.  If you build a home on land that is leased you would not own the home.

I think it bites if the government can take your privately owned property so that some privately owned commercial business can have it.  If it's for roads etc., it might be necessary.

One catch is, if the property is improved (has a structure on it) you will generally not be able to inspect the property before buying it.  So you would be taking it "as is."  I think people and companies who make money at this probably have enough money to buy several such properties at a time, and they can average out the risks and make a good profit in the long run.  But they will need to have plumbers, electricians, carpenters and painters available to do repairs as necessary in order to make the structures habitable -- or they must have the skills and time to do the work themselves, obtaining permits and following codes as required.\n\nIf the properties are just vacant lots, the risks are different: they just need to know how much land is worth in a given area, and be able to afford to pay taxes on the properties until they can be sold.
