Buying Land & Building

Anyone have experience or advice for buying land ? Especially land where you’re most likely to be on a septic system (on purpose because you love nature and that’s just how it is). 

Any tips, resources, links, on buying land ? Then building a house on that land?

 If you are buying land for septic, you will want to do proper due diligence to make sure you have water available and also the property can support a septic system and a size that matches the size of the home. Even if it can, depending on soil conditions it could be a traditional system or an alternative system which can cost 5x more. Always ask the seller if they have done any perc test on the property.
