Before buying land, figure out how much of it you can actually build on. The total acreage doesn't matter if physical limitations prevent your project. Understand the buildable envelope first, or everything else is pointless.

Before buying land, ask, where can I actually build? How large is the buildable envelope? What are the physical limitations? Because if the land doesn't physically support your plan, nothing else matters. Call this buildable reality. Not how big is the parcel, but what portion of this land actually works.
