10 Steps and 10 Tips

Step 5: Know the Boundaries

Most remote recreational properties do not have marked or surveyed property boundaries. It is a good idea to have a qualified third-party surveyor determine the exact property boundaries.

• Tip 5: There is no substitute for walking the land you're interested in purchasing. Have the seller take you on a guided tour of the property. Take along a GPS unit to mark the property boundaries. You can even request an aerial image of the property. This will not only show you the property as a whole, but what surrounds the property you are interested in.
