Have an "Exit Strategy" when buying Rural Land
When meeting with potential buyers of rural property, I always encourage them to buy with an "exit strategy". What I mean, is for them to purchase a property that other people would find desirable in the event they ever decide to or are forced into selling. In my opinion being able to get out from under a property if necessary is an extremely important consideration before buying.  
Formulating Your Strategy- Here are a few key elements to consider when evaluating your purchase.
1. Road Frontage/Access- Does the tract have easy access. The first question I get on many rural properties is, "Does the land have deeded access?" It is not always a deal-breaker to not have it, but it is helpful when you do.
2. Utilities available- Many utility companies will "give" a new landowner the first two power poles at no cost, and then the owner pays $500 apiece for the next two, $1000 each for the next five, and so forth. This can get expensive in a hurry.
3. Water- Almost without exception everyone searching for rural property desires some form of water on their land, whether it be a creek, pond, river front, slough, small lake, stream, or duck hole. ... more
