Buying land versus unit dwelling properties

[Joy Chambers]

Hello I live in Ohio just starting out and was wondering is there any advantages of buying land over buying units already on the land either single-family or multi family units?

You can live in the units if you buy them. If you buy land, then you need to build a house before you can live there. Buying a house can be easier because you do not need to pull permits for construction. A lot of people will rehab a property without pulling any permits because inspectors cannot see inside (not recommending or suggesting that I have done this ;), rather stating what happens). Also, construction costs are pretty high right now (at least in Columbus).

It is a lot cheaper to buy a used car then buying a new one. Also, I have no clue how to build a car or build a house but I can Google how to hook up a vanity.
