🚫 THE "HIDDEN TAX" ON YOUR LAND SIZE
You paid for 1.00 Acre. You pay taxes on 1.00 Acre. But can you actually build on 1.00 Acre? Absolutely not.

In Day 7 of our Land Investing 101 Course, we expose the "Hidden Shrinkage" that destroys land value: Setbacks, Easements, and Rights-of-Way.

Most rookie investors look at a listing that says "0.23 Acres" and think they have 10,000 square feet of space. In reality, after the County takes their "Front Setback" (25 feet) and the Power Company takes their "Utility Easement" (10 feet), you might be left with a tiny "Building Envelope" that can't even fit a garage.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:

Gross vs. Net Acres: The legal difference between the "Footprint" of the land (what you own) and the "Usable Area" (what you can touch).

The "Setback Tax": Why Putnam County and Washington County automatically confiscate the first 25 feet of your property for "Zoning Buffers."

The "Easement Trap": How to spot high-voltage power lines or drainage ditches that render 30% of your lot useless.

The Math of Shrinkage: We do a live calculation on a standard Interlachen Lakes Estates lot (75' x 135') to show how it shrinks by 45% before you break ground.

R1 vs. R2 Zoning: Why "Mobile Home Friendly" lots often have stricter setback rules than "Site Built" lots.

🧮 THE MATH: HOW A LOT SHRINKS
(Follow along with the video) Let’s take a standard 0.25-acre lot (approx. 10,890 sq ft).

The Lot Dimensions: 80' Width x 135' Depth.

Front Setback (25 ft): You lose 2,000 sq ft instantly.

Rear Setback (10 ft): You lose 800 sq ft.

Side Setbacks (10 ft each): You lose 1,350 sq ft.

TOTAL LOSS: 4,150 sq ft.

REMAINING BUILDABLE: 6,740 sq ft.

RESULT: You paid for 100%, but you can only use 61%.
