looking to buy land

**bigredball90** · 04-26-2009, 01:54 PM

I am looking to buy about a 1 acre to rent out sections of it to people that need to place equipment such as trailers and boats. I am very new to this and have no idea to what kind of land that I would be looking to purchase, what kind of legal issues I would be dealing with besides contracts for the renters, and whether or not this is a good idea. I am a first time buyer in Florida and any help would be appreciated. Also is there a link to where I can read about tax lein sales, and forecloser sales, and other realestate terms.

What you want to do will only be allowed in certain zoning districts. Talk to someone in your local zoning office to find what zoning districts this is allowed in and where those districts are located.

Before you make the purchase double check to make sure then land is in the right district.

You don't want to end up with a piece of land you can't use.

@bigredball90

Are you interested in purchasing land on international market? If you are, send me a PM.

Cheers

Consider the land itself. Think about drainage such as does the land hold water when it rains or does it drain off properly. Also i am in agreement about the zoning issues. You may want to consider leveraging what else could you do with the land to generate income.

I would also be interested in buying duplexes and such but my because concern would be if something breaks and not being able to pay for it. Currently I am very young and have a steady but limited income. Ive seen alot of trailers for sale cheap that could be rented out but I would still have to rent the land. What would yall suggest in the ways of a rental property?

If you are first time buyer then you must take a advise from real estate agent or a lawyer.They give perfect advise and your work be simple as you think hard.

I think you should choose a land with better surroundings maybe near the market or school or populated because if you want to make a business like computer shop of course it is demand in populated places.
