Buying raw land can be the best homestead decision you ever make, or an expensive lesson. This episode goes through the checks that matter most before you close: legal access, easements, the perc test, water, mineral and timber rights, boundaries and zoning.
Rules and costs vary by state and county, and land contracts are legal documents. Ask a local real estate attorney or a title company to review anything you sign. This is general information, not legal or financial advice.
