It is often a difficult choice when it comes to selecting between buying a house and a land which can be used to construct a house later. People get confused; take suggestions from inexperienced people and information from unreliable sources, and end up regretting their decision later. There are certain factors that should affect your decisions in such matters and we will discuss them all in this piece of article. So if you plan on investing in real estate, don’t just go on and grab any vacant land for sale or a complex available at dirt-cheap price; research first.
Know Your Reason
There has to be a reason for you to buy a property, whether it’s an apartment, a complex, an open area, or a vast tract of land. You need to think first; ask and answer these questions for yourself and you would have an inclination pointing to your answer:
- Do you want to take it for your family?
- Will it be used for residential or commercial purposes?
- Do you just want to invest in a property to get the fruits of its maturity later on?
- If it is a building, is the architecture as per your requirements?
- If it’s furnished, do you really need those pieces of tables and sofas, or you are well-to-do without them?
- When do you plan to move in?
- Is the property location convenient for you and your family?
Similar questions may well help you decide whether to go for an already built house or a tract of land. If the architecture and furniture meet your requirements and you are supposed to move-in urgently, maybe even in a few months or a couple of years, a ready-to-move-in property would be the option to go. If you are in no urgency, look out for a vacant land for sale, crack a deal and get your house built the way you want it, the way your family wants it! After all, a poster saying “Vacant plot for sale” in Canada is not a rare sighting.
