Set the use and range
List the intended use, preferred area, acreage, budget, timing and must-have improvements.
Buy land with a clear plan for it.
Decide what the land must support before you start touring it. Acreage, location and price matter, but so do legal access, water, utilities, fencing, improvements and restrictions. Stephen Reich Group helps buyers organize the search and the real-estate side of due diligence.

Quick answers
Land-buying basics.
What goes in a land search brief?+
Include the intended use, area, acreage, budget, timing, access needs, utilities and required improvements.
Do mineral rights and exemptions matter?+
They can. Review current records with qualified legal and tax advisers because the effect varies by property.
When should due diligence start?+
Start listing questions before the offer. The contract period needs enough time for the records, inspections and specialist reviews the land requires.
