28:05 "The day before closing."
This baffles the hell out of me. I don't care how long you give the closing people and title insurance people and mortgage people, whether it's 1 month, 3 months or 6 months, they will never get things done in time. Almost every time, they will wait until the day before closing to tell you there is some kind of problem you need to clear up.

We were considering buying 30 acres. However it was covered in high grass and brush so hard to visualize everything. So we hired with the owner’s permission a brush hogging. It cost hundreds but totally worth it. We found all the heavy debris that was hidden. We also met a psycho neighbor who was upset because it disturbed his deer hunting. Not his land, potentially ours. I said if we buy it there won’t be anymore deer hunting because I would have horses there and I had children. He actually almost physically attacked me. I went home, called realtor and said we don’t want the property. I’m looking for a peaceful life not an endless conflict

Talk to the assessor's office..
See if you need to buy an easement just to get onto the property.
Look at county records to see if you can even build on it.
Find out how many times has been bought and sold in the last 20 years.

Good video I have 170 acres on Lake Wateree South Carolina and only one spot on the whole property would approve for a septic system. Needless to say that was not fun not to mention the septic system was over $50, 000. Power was extremely hard to get ran through the neighboring properties as well. One thing with the Internet is the new 5G air Internet works. We ended up with AT&T business Air and get about 300 MBS pretty good and it’s cheaper than Starlink. Due diligence is something I’ve had to learn the hard way.

septic systems are a non issue anymore. waste water treatment plants are just as cheap septic or cheaper and require no land use per say. the water is treated in a tank and what comes out the other hand is actually potable water which gets collected in a storage tank. fyi - just for those that are ignorant. septic systems use the land to treat the water. whereas treatment plants treat and discharge clean water into a storage tank. the water never has to touch the ground before its clean and potable.

Thanks for the info! This has helped alot. Just wanted to throw in a bit of constructive criticism: that automatic camera swivel/follow thing is maddening, or at least I find it to be. It's extremely disorienting, and you can actually hear it moving. The flood zone advice already helped me!

[judithbrown]

Thank you. You are speaking directly to me!!

[topgun]

What an awesome video such good info thanks buddy!

All of this matters of you are installing a "Leach field" for sewer. A septic installation generally involves a precast tank being installed. Good info though. Really have to pay attention to what you are buying and what the use will be.
