Jun 9 (edited) • Buying Land
The Cheapest Land Isn't Always the Most Affordable
Common mistakes I see people make is sorting listings from lowest price to highest price and assuming the cheapest property is the best deal.
The problem?
The purchase price is only one piece of the puzzle.
A $25,000 property may also need:
• A well ($5,000-$20,000+)
• Septic ($5,000-$15,000+)
• Electric service ($2,000-$30,000+)
• Driveway installation ($2,000-$20,000+)
• Land clearing ($1,000-$20,000+)
Meanwhile, a $75,000 property with a well, septic, driveway, and power already in place could actually cost less to get started on.
Before falling in love with a property, ask:
✅ Is there water?
✅ Is there septic?
✅ Is there legal access?
✅ Is there power nearby?
✅ Can I actually live on it?
✅ What will it cost to make this land functional?
The goal is not to buy the cheapest land.
The goal is to buy the land that helps you reach your goals without creating financial stress.
👇 What's the biggest thing you look for when evaluating a piece of land? Price, location, acreage, water, freedom, or something else?
