How Do I Buy Land Without Getting Ripped Off?
I want to buy about 40 acres of land in a low cost, low populated area. Thinking about Sierra Vista, AZ general area, but wouldn't rule out a more forested or mountainous area such as Montana or Wyoming.
I want to put a (nice) trailer on the land to live in while I have my house built.
But I am concerned about how to educate myself on the process. I don't want to buy land, and then find out there is no water hook-up, or the price of getting water out there is astronomical. Same with electricity. How does the area react to heavy rains? Is there flooding? Is it zoned for a trailer and house? What is a reasonable price for the property?
Is there a person or agency that I can ask these questions of?
What questions have I not thought to ask?
What resources are out there that I can use to educate myself? Book recommendations? Web sites?

I would recommend getting the advice of a real estate agent. The agent can help you find a property and would know the zoning and the area and should be able to help answer your questions about the property.
Here is a article and book about buying land that might help.

. The COunty Assessor could have the vendors call. Ask for a drivers license once you call to inquire approximately seeing the land. in the event that they say no, you in simple terms dodged a bullet. they did no longer own it. in case you purchase it and use a call coverage plans, there'll be no liens. each and every escrow company will furnish this for $six hundred.
