5. Step 3: Decide where you want to buy
• If you don't already know where you want to
be, and you're cost-sensitive, visit
yourlandlinks.com.

land. A browse through these pages will give
you an overview of the kinds of properties
that are out there and what they cost.

6. Step 4. Pick a few properties to follow
up on.
• Mark them on a map. It's a good idea to try
and mark them in "lots" so when on a drive
and in the vicinity of the property, you can just
drive through and visit the place.
• Alternatively, you can visit the land through
yourlandlinks.com’s picture gallery of your
desired piece of property.

• Have a list of questions prepared to ask over
the phone. You can, of course, email your
questions, but it's much better to actually talk
to us and get direct answers.

property.

of the daily rhythm of the area, and neighbors,
and traffic - if after 24 hours your enthusiasm
for the place has waned, imagine being there
for 24 years. You've got to be absolutely in
love with it, and then some, before you're
ready to buy.

sold for.

10. Step 8. Verify the area of the
property.

acreage is overstated by 20 percent you're
paying 20 percent more than needed.
