Location 

The most important factor when purchasing land is its location. Within the real estate market, location matters over everything else because this can determine the future value of your property, your ability to build on said land, and other aspects that affect the surrounding community. Speaking of community, you want to make sure this land’s location is in an area that best suits your needs, as you may need access to amenities like public transit, highways, schools, parks, entertainment, and work!

Zoning Requirements

No matter the location of your future land, zoning requirements may directly affect your ability to build specific types of properties. A local jurisdiction may have land that is zoned for residential or commercial developments, and you’ll need to know whether or not you are allowed to create your specific structure. Besides the legalities of zoning requirements, you likely do not want to build a home next to a bunch of future commercial buildings.

Natural Hazards

Land in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Florida all have different natural hazards that can affect your property. Ideally, your land will be protected from natural disasters such as the risk of fires, tornados, high winds, and any other detrimental weather. In addition, you want to make sure that the land’s soil is adequate to be built on because the last thing you want is to purchase land that ends up being useless or unsafe.

Utilities 

How will you power the buildings you create on your land? Where will you get the water you need for your buildings? These are all important questions to ask when purchasing land. You will want to figure out how your properties will get the water, electricity, gas, waste management, and amenities they need to function properly.
