Tips On Investing In Okeechobee Land For Sale

By Daphne Bowen


When you build a house to your specifications, you get just what you want. First you have to invest in Okeechobee land for sale in your preferred neighborhood and price range. The prospects are open ended when you buy raw land instead of a pre-existing property. Ideally, you want to build something that speaks to your personal needs and falls within a prescribed budget. Next you must consider zoning and any local ordinances before you build.

A dream house means an upgrade in lifestyle and a new lease on life for the whole family. It is an exciting process to be sure. Think about your new needs: how many bedrooms and bathrooms? What size and style of kitchen? There are numerous considerations before you get too far.

Choosing your location is critical, but you will pay for a good one. If you want an upper middle class neighborhood, for example, zoned for single family homes, it will have a stated market value. If you want to live higher, it will be that much more. Proximity to public transportation adds to the price as do schools, parks, community pools, shops, and restaurants. If you want to be able to walk in the woods or on the beach, so be it. Just set your sights accordingly.

The location is an important factor, but so is the actual nature of the lot. If it has at least a 2 grade, you will have easy water runoff to avoid flooding. It also should have ample space for a yard and/or pool. If you want a garden or guest house, add some footage to the bare essentials.

If you look more deeply, you will have to consider the grade of the land. You will need at least 2% for water runoff. Then you will need a certain amount of space for a yard and/or pool. If you want a guest house, you will add that to the equation. It all comes down to price to get what you want.

The sale of raw land can be tricky depending upon the owner and if there are any liens. There should be no issue as to title before a transfer can take place. Then there is the possibility that the property is bank owned, requiring many months of paperwork.

Most of the time, however, things go smoothly and you can start thinking about floor plan, style, and decor. High on the list are paint colors, trim, kitchen and bathroom finishes, landscaping, and location of the garage. Your builder will be the initial guide but you may want to hire the services of a professional landscape architect and/or decorator. If you think it through, you won't have to make costly upgrades later.

When all is said and done, you will have the home of your dreams designed and executed to your explicit specifications. You are ready to move in and begin again. Fresh surroundings always add vigor to one's existence, and a new lease on life.
