⚡ THE "CHEAP LAND" TRAP
Years ago, I found a deal that looked too good to be true. 5 Acres for $15,000. I bought it. I was excited to build my cabin. Then I called the Power Company. They told me: "Sure, Mr. Wasan. We can bring power to you. That will be 6 Poles at $7,000 each." The cost to plug in my house was $42,000—three times the cost of the land itself.

In Day 9 of Land Investing 101, we cover The Big 3 Utilities: Power, Water, and Septic. You cannot live on dirt alone. You need to know where the wires are, how deep the water is, and if the soil can handle a septic tank.

IN THIS EPISODE:

The Pole Math: How to calculate the cost of power before you buy (hint: count the poles on Google Street View).

The "Perc Test": Why sandy soil (Interlachen) saves you $20,000 vs. clay soil (Mound Systems).

Well vs. City Water: The hidden costs of drilling deep.

The "Soil Web" Hack: How to use the USDA Web Soil Survey to peek underground from your computer.

💧 THE BIG 3 CHECKLIST
(Follow along with the video)

1. POWER (The Expensive One)

On The Road: Ideal. Connection cost is usually less than $1,500.

Off The Road: You pay per linear foot/pole. Approx $5k-$10k per pole.

2. WATER (The Deep One)

City Water: Rare in rural land.

Well: You drill down. Average cost $5,000 - $15,000 depending on depth.

3. SEWER (The Dirty One)

City Sewer: Almost never exists on rural land.

Septic System: You need a "Perc Test."

Pass: Standard System (~$6,000).

Fail: Mound System (~$25,000+).
