What do I need to know before buying a lot to build on?

Land can affect the price of the home and also dictate in most occasions the type of basement. Meaning if you’re on a rural lot you have sewer systems, water systems, gas, electric, and roads to think about. On city lots, they may be designed for slab on grade, view out, or walkout. Some lots will also require more site conditions which consist of removing trees or extra dirt and some of the lake communities require beaches, sea walls, and rip rap.
