Land Lot

Land Lot

Vacant land lots are not just for big developers. They can be a sound investment for the person willing to research the area’s present and future development, desirable areas and the type of land suitable for the development of popular construction.

Vacant land is often available a much lower price than comparable developed land. The average home investor stands as much chance at making a good profit from a carefully purchased land lot as they would investing their money in a developed property. Perhaps more, if the lot is in a desirable area or an area that becomes desirable as a result of other development in the locale.

A newly desirable piece of land can reap much reward for the careful buyer. You don’t have to spend a lot of money in upkeep or repair, the property can be used or sold flexibly and the increase in value can bring thousands of dollars in profit to you, for much less time, money and effort than it takes to maintain and stage a home. And, if you buy in an area that has boomed, you could be holding the deed to a particularly valuable piece of property.

Knowing when and where to buy is a key point with undeveloped land. This is where having a good relationship with a real estate professional who knows the area, keeps track of developments and pre-construction can really pay off. A property can become valuable because of its proximity to a new development such as a shopping mall or activity center. As communities expand, land once considered “rural” may eventually fall within the city limits, making it more valuable as urban property.

In addition to resale value, vacant land is also a great buy for the options it gives the buyer for developing it themselves. Whether it’s a primary residence, second home or vacation property, developing the land yourself can mean you save thousands of dollars that would otherwise go to buy an established structure. It also gives you the freedom to design and build your home to suit you and your family.

A vacant lot is only vacant in terms of there not being a building on it. It is actually full of opportunity for buyers who want to try a different kind of real estate investment, people who want to build their own homes and those who want a flexible piece of real estate for multiple uses. Careful consideration and research will reward the serious buyer.

What are the different loan options available to purchase a land lot?

We are looking at buying a parcel of land that in the state of PA. It is zoned residential and currently has a “pole barn” on the land. There is well water, septic, electric, cable, and telephone already connected at the property. So this should be considered an “improved lot” rather then “raw land”. We want to build a home here but need to sell our two homes first. What are the different lending options we have and the terms of the types of loans?

It’s still going to be a ‘raw land’ loan and you’ll need 15-20%+ down.

If you sell your other properties quickly enough, just get a construction loan on the land that covers your home construction + land purchase.
