Investors should evaluate access to utilities, road frontage, soil and wetlands constraints, flood risk, and permitting timelines, while aligning strategy with their goals—buy-and-hold, development, recreation, or agricultural use. Careful due diligence on title, easements, property taxes, and local planning rules is essential to avoid costly surprises and identify parcels with realistic paths to value growth.
