Making sure the property will work for you

Searching for (and finding) a lot

Estimating what a property is worth

Understanding teardown properties

Purchasing the land

You can’t have a house unless you have somewhere to put it. Unlike the pioneers of old, however, people today can’t just walk up and squat on whatever piece of land that catches their eye. If you’re interested in some land, you have to research, explore, negotiate for, and ultimately purchase a parcel that you can call home.

In this chapter, we walk you through the entire process of searching for and finding the perfect site. We provide you with the very best evaluation tips and even discuss buying a house in poor condition that you can tear down and rebuild. Finally, we consider financing options. You have to pay for that dream property, after all!
