Buying property tips?

Xs2. In addition to all the other suggestions here, look at the restrictions on the property to make sure that you can live with them. Also check the restrictions on the neighboring properties. You don't want to build an expensive home and then have people put up a bunch of shanties in the area.

Good advice. Our home design is a downsize from what we're in now, three kids moved out etc. but it's a nice design and shouldn't be an eyesore. I'll ask about restrictions the only one I know about is there is a set back from the lake that you can't build, have to be 50 or 100 feet back.
