Buying land can be one of the best investments you make, but it's crucial to avoid common mistakes that could cost you in the long run! 🌱 Here are some key pitfalls to steer clear of: 1. Skipping Due Diligence – Always research zoning laws, land boundaries, and restrictions before making an offer. 🧐 2. Ignoring Utility Access – Does the land have access to water, electricity, and sewage? This could make or break your purchase. 🚱⚡ 3. Not Understanding the Terrain – Consider the land's topography and its impact on your plans, especially for construction. 🏞️ 4. Overlooking Environmental Risks – Make sure there are no flood zones, soil issues, or environmental hazards. 🏝️ 5. Underestimating Costs – Beyond the purchase price, factor in expenses for permits, land clearing, and utilities. 💰 Need more expert advice?
