also you may want to look into hiring a lawyer, there are many many many, things that if you do not have checked out you could be setting yourself up for lots of legal problems. For example has the land been surveyed, are there any encroachments or easements on the land. Are there any encumbrances such as an existing lien on the house, or is there a deed restriction. You also must state what form of ownership you plan on having. This can differ from state to state, for example is the property going to be severality(you hold title individually), or will it be a form of co-ownership such as tenancy in common, or tenants by the entirety, or joint tenancy. You can get yourself into lots of trouble if you go into finding a property without knowing any of this information. Good luck
