When I first started out in this business, my wife and I used to joke about how many bodies were probably buried in the 1000's of acres of vacant land found in upstate New York.

Buying vacant land is a big deal. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Buying the right piece of land takes effort. A lot of factors go into making the right decision: Does it have proper road access? Is there electric nearby? Can it sustain a well & septic system? What can I build on it?
