Is All The Good Land Gone?

Absolutely not!  There are still tons of great properties available.

The trick is determining what you are looking for first.  In other words; just flying down with the intention of window shopping for property will drive you crazy. 

I recommend making a list of what you want in a property, and understanding what is an absolute “MUST HAVE” and what are “WOULD BE NICES”

To help make your list, consider, for example;

  • Do I want an ocean or mountain view?
  • How big of property do I want?  ¼ acre? ½ acre? 1 acre?
  • What is my budget?
  • What is my intention for this investment?  Vacation home?  Permanent residence?  Rental property?
  • Accessibility? Are there roads to the property?  Are they private or public?  Don’t assume.
  • Is there infrastructure in the area?  Water? Electricity?  Phone?  Internet?
