The Biggest Warning Signs When Buying Vacant Land

109: Several years ago, I wrote a blog post that blew up and became one of the most popular articles on REtipster. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/109 ) It was called The Truth About Land Investing: 21 Warning Signs to Look for When Buying Vacant Land and the reason I wrote this was because after years of buying and selling land, I recognized there were a lot of tricky due diligence issues with every property I dealt with, and I wanted to create a solid list of the most common problems and stumbling blocks I had encountered. This due diligence checklist can apply to anyone buying land for any purpose, but depending on whether you're a land flipper or the end-user, there will be some differences in your perspective on these issues. Not all of these issues need to be scrutinized for every deal, depending on where the property is located and what you’re planning to use it for, but regardless of your situation, this is a good list of items to be aware of, so you don't get stuck with a property without recognizing some of the problems ahead of time. Even with properties that do have some of these problems, there is still hope in many cases, you’ll just be limited in what you can use it for. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!
