Types of Entitlement

In the real estate business, it’s important to know the two main types of entitlements: physical and legal. Physical entitlements refer to the physical characteristics and features of a property, such as its size, location, and zoning. Legal entitlements refer to the legal rights associated with owning and using a property, such as the right to build on the property or the right to sell it.

 

Deal or No Deal

When it comes to a land deal, consider factors such as location, zoning, and potential for appreciation. Location is critical, as a property in a desirable area will likely appreciate in value over time. Zoning is also important, as it can dictate what you can and can’t do with the property. Research the potential as well for appreciation by looking at the history of the area’s property values and any planned developments or infrastructure improvements.
