re: OT: Building on raw land

First off dont buy the land until you’ve checked the zoning restrictions on it. You dont want to buy it and then find out that the government can tell you what, how, or where you can or cannot build on your own damn property. Find out if there are any easements on it. Will your neighbors have right to drive across your property to access parts of their land? Screw that. Definitely definitely definitely find out who owns the property around the one you are thinking about buying too. What are their plans for that property surrounding yours? How about access to utilities, sewage? If it doesnt have it, what are the costs to get it? Has the land been surveyed recently? Ever? Are you about to build in a flood plain? How is the soil? Are you about to purchase land that was once an indian burial ground? Is ithe land cursed? You got to research all of this kind of stuff first before even thinking about building. My suggestion is to buy a liveaboard sailboat instead. Thats my plan one day.
