Thanks Winchester, I appreciate your honesty with these issues. I am taking everything in and learning and investigating from everyone's input. I have a perk test and soil test scheduled for later in the week! We have also checked with the tax assessors office in reference to the current zoning and restrictions. I have learned a lot in the last day, thanks to all who have provided input, as it has started to lead me in the right direction!

This land previously had a home of some sort, possibly a trailer on a slab, and there is a drilled well, septic tank, and electricity, so I am assuming that these are all good signs that it will be buildable? Or at the very least pass a perc test?

Thank you and no, it is not on Dabbs Bridge!

Nothing has been signed yet, so there is time for me to complete the above. I appreciate your input, because as I said, I know NOTHING about real estate, just that I want some land.

Yeah, I googled him and saw that he was appointed to some state real estate commission in January. His firm looks pretty solid though.

Thanks again! I will look into using him!

Thanks! That was basically what I wanted to know! Who did you use for your closing? Was it someone local?

I am looking to purchase land in a person to person transaction, using a mutally acceptable closing attorney, without a realtor. Anyone have suggestions as to what I need to do/know prior to doing this? I am a complete amateur with no real estate knowledge, however the seller does not want agents involved (for what I believe is a financial issue-I do not sense any ulterior motive-the land used to be listed with an agent). Thanks is advance for any advice!
