Purchasing a property is just like purchasing a used car – it could be a lemon. Thankfully there are numerous “red flags”, or warnings, you can spot if you know to look for them. These can change whether you purchase the property, negotiate for a lower price, or walk away from a property.
Zoning are the rules around how land can be developed and used. While they can be changed, this is both expensive and time-intensive, and you may be denied! Ensure you understand your local zoning rules as it will impact what land you buy.
If I had to give only 1 piece of advice, it would be to choose a property with natural potential. For example, you can’t change the way the sun moves across the sky, but if you want food and solar power, you can choose a property with better solar aspect. Work with nature, and if you don’t know how, hire a consultant to help you start on the right foot.
As you can see from the other questions, there are a lot of mistakes that can be made. Likewise, there are a lot of “wins” possible. A single hour with an expert can help you choose the right property for your goals, the one with the most productive and financial potential, and the ideal property for your desired lifestyle.
