We just purchased 20 acres in the UP. You covered everything very thoroughly!

The really fun part about buying property is when you build on it, put in a septic system that you maintain and keep in perfect working order, then a few years later the township "votes" to put city sewer connections in and force you to hook up to it AT YOUR COST OF $20,000

One thing that would be really cool to provide is a map of townships by county that are green for "easy to work with" to get things approved or red for "difficult to work with" to get things approved - could do this by different endpoints like the barndominiums, homesteads, etc.

You should mention checking the state required master plan for the township , you don’t want to buy land next to a future sewage plant or industrial area.

I never see good lots in northern Oakland county! I see a lot of rural property, but nothing for sale. It seems the developers just buy it all up and build unaffordable homes. I’m not looking to live in a sub anyways. I’ve looked on and off for years.

Every county in mIchigan has a office to go to to look inot these matter. In Kalamazoo County it is called Kalamazoo Enviromental. Be careful. There are a lot of dumps that were covered up. Ask the county and township. If you are very interested, ask neighbors. Good luck.

Great Video!! I'm looking to buy land to build a pole barn just as a garage as I have a house and dont need another one. Zoning and permitting always requires a residential dwelling of at least 720sqft. How can someone find non deed restricted lots. Seems to be very difficult.

It’s called zoning requirements, visit your township office
