These real questions on buying undeveloped land are answered by a US Master Builder and myself after receiving them from readers of my e-book Cheap Air MAx Shoes , "Residential Development Made Easy."

Question 1.

What are some factors to bear in mind when purchasing undeveloped land for the purposes of rezoning?

Master Builder & Developer's Reply:

Study your Town Plan and see where your Council Planners want the physical growth direction to take place. Go and talk to the Planners - don't ask them for their opinion - you might sue them in a few years time, so they won't give you an opinion.

However they will talk about Councils plans for growth.

Question 2.
