Land Ownership: How to Know If It’s Right for You
One amazing thing about owning a bunch of land is the ability to enjoy nature on your own piece of property. You could use the land to grow crops, to ride your ATV through some dirt paths, or even keep some horses. The options really are endless!
There are some important things to consider when you purchase vacant land. Be sure to get a plat and have the seller pay for a stake survey so you KNOW what you are buying. Perk the land if you want to build on it so you know what type of sewer system you will get. Take a core sample if you plan to build so you know if you will hit a rock, which can substantially increase your building costs. Research power, gas, water connections.
Have a title company research if there are any covenants and restrictions and go to the County to see if what you are planning is permitted. Subdividing of land may be prohibited. It is VERY important to have an experienced land Realtor help you with the contract so you don't end up having to buy a piece of land that does not suit your needs or is VERY expensive to do what you want to do.
