An age-old philosophical question of “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” almost applies to finding a house and land for sale. Some folks purchase land before building a house, while others might buy a house first and then offer to purchase the surrounding land for expansion. According to the video above, buying land requires some steps, even if you can do it at your own pace and on your timing.
Purchasing land starts by writing down what you want on your land. Some landowners prioritize being near a water source like a lake, while others might need trees for shade and privacy. Depending on your purpose for your future land, you may also need to keep zoning laws in mind and consider whether the land would be good for your goals such as farming or homesteading. Even if you find land that is affordable and looks good, it won’t be worth buying if it’s not ideal for making your vision a reality.
How you purchase land and a home depends on your resources. If you can afford to pay for it in cash, it will be different from financing it. You’ll also need to get your credit score elevated before attempting to buy a house and land if it’s not in good shape.
