In this video, I break down how to read a land survey and what really matters before buying a lot. Using a real Atlanta property as an example, I show how setbacks, zoning rules, stream buffers, and utilities affect the actual buildable area—not just the lot size on paper. This lot looks great at first glance, but once you factor in city and state buffers, the usable space shrinks fast. It’s a good reminder that a “good deal” on land can come with a lot of hidden challenges. If you’re considering buying a lot or planning a build, this walkthrough can help you avoid expensive surprises. Drop questions in the comments if you want me to review another survey.
