Buying and selling land requires the most imagination and the most specialized knowledge. Undeveloped land is often barren and uneven, so you must be able to picture what it could be much more than what it currently is. 

When buying or selling parcels of land, It is imperative to work with an agent that is well-versed in the relevant Zoning and Land-Use Restrictions governing your piece of property. This will help determine its potential for development in different sectors, which greatly influences the value and potential market. 

For example, Latah County is very protective of its fertile farmland. If you unknowingly purchase a piece of protected land with the intention of developing it for residential or commercial use, then your project will never make it off the drafting table. Similarly, purchasing land without the correct zoning for your intended purposes will lead to a similarly dismal result. 

Beyond these restrictions, it is vitally important to understand the potential limitations and additional expenses with regard to infrastructure, utilities, and the state and composition of the land itself.
