Closing on Land in NC

[Tyler Herman]

Looking to do land deals in North Carolina and am having trouble finding information that is specific  to empty land and not buying a home. 

Do I have to have a closing attorney? I've read yes but NC doesn't show up on most lists of states that require one. 

If yes to attorney, how much time/money is that going to suck up? I get that sellers don't have to make any disclosures in the state but it's not exactly rocket science doing a title search. Rather not involve a lawyer in the process if I don't have to. 

Anything else I'd want to be aware of? Obviously early in the process but want to purchase something soon. Thanks.
