Many people search only pre-built homes and buildings, not realizing the potential of buying a vacant lot. The most common use for vacant plots depends on their location and how they have been zoned. For residentially zoned lots, single-family homes are one of the most common constructions, followed by multi-family lodgings. These can be used by the builder or rented out for a profit.

Often designers and contractors can be hired separately, but some do both jobs. Many specialize in builds designed to maintain the charm or look of a specific area or neighborhood. Many Boston suburbs and New England towns wish to retain their historical heritage and quaint charm. For this reason, they have created bylaws to ensure the future look and feel of the area. These additional bylaws may take some research when building, but Boston City Properties can point out which resources to use during the planning stages.

Just because you buy a vacant plot, doesn’t mean you have to use it, or sell it on, right away. Many investors allow their vacant parcels to appreciate over time before selling them for a profit. As the expression goes, there is no time like the present, and that is especially true with land.
