How do I buy land

[Jerri Stephenson]

Hi everyone! I'm not an investor yet but I've been thinking about it for a while. I can get a VA loan and qualify for veteran's land board land loans. My credit isn't great but I'm working on it. I'm thinking about buying some land southeast of Houston, maybe Kemah/Seabrook area, and then putting a modular/pre-fab home on it. Living there a while then selling. Maybe I could even get a duplex pre-fab. My question is- how do I find good deals on land? I need at least an acre for the veterans land board but large plots seem to be hard to find on MLS. I'm thinking I'll have to find some land offline. How do I do that?

Thanks!

If you are not that experienced I would first suggest finding a qualified broker to represent you.

Buying raw ground is not for novices. There are so many factors to consider that you really need to know what you are doing.

What's the zoning, future land use plan, utilities, septic percolation test, water availability, access rights, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on.

I don't want to discourage you buy make sure you go in with your eyes wide open.
