want to buy vacant land but very ignorant...?

Can anyone offer me advise as to the process of finding and buying land to build a home on? What should I expect? What's the best way to go about locating personally idealistic property?

My goal is to acquire suitable land within the next 6 months.

Is there a special kind of Realtor who knows the most about this kind of ordeal?

Is all the land already owned by someone or is there still unclaimed property available to purchase from Uncle Sam?

    You need to consult with an experienced Real Estate agent in your community. Finding appropriate properties for buyers like you is what they do! There is NO charge to you, they make a commission only if they help you buy a property and that commission is usually paid by the seller.

    Best wishes and good luck.

    p.s. I have bought, sold and built on numerous properties over the last 5 years, and I would NEVER do so without the help and advice of a good Real Estate Agent. I don't know how many times my agents have pointed out significant adverse issues about a potential property that I was not aware of or that I had not adequately considered in my analysis. Additionally, agents often know of lots/properties about to come on the market before they get advertised. I purchased a lot last year that was a screaming deal - before someone else could get it first - because my agent new the property was about to be listed for sale.
