Update: First the good news. I have the deed for the Osteen property as recorded with the county. Now the bad news. It looks like the Orange City land was indeed a scam. I was not taken for too much money, $650. I can accept the loss and move on enjoying the Osteen lots. :-)
Update: I looks like I have been taken by a scam. I sent payment, the check cleared but I have not heard from the "seller". Looks like I got took. :-(
Update: A month later I heard from the seller. He tells me that he has sent me the deed transfer papers. I now have hope that I have purchased this land

I bought some land north of Orange City. It's a little less than an hour's drive to my daughter's place in Orlando. The price was unbelievably cheep - $650 including closing costs. I am holding my breath while waiting for the deed.
The lot is located 500 feet to the east of 2862 Hamilton Ave., Orange City, FL 32763
