Investment Land Features
The physical features of vacant land, such as topography and soil composition, are as important as location in terms of future profitability.
A parcel of land's physical features may be economically advantageous to one owner and disadvantageous to another. For instance, sloping foothill land is inefficient for farming but desirable for high-priced homes with attractive views. Likewise, unimproved acreage near a large city may be less useful for cattle grazing than for development as a suburban bedroom community.
Purchasers of single lots within a city must also be aware of the physical characteristics of their land. A lot's location, contours, drainage, soil quality and rezoning potential affect its value.
Interior subdivision positions are essential to the buyer of a house lot, while railroad tracks and highways are significant features of an industrial parcel. Retail and office developments require access to major traffic arteries with high traffic counts, while apartment and mobile-home dwellers seek public transportation facilities and neighbourhood serenity.
