Land
Check zoning and permitted use, flood zone and elevation, utilities, access, setbacks, survey and title, and the time and cost of permits before you plan a building.
Condo-hotels
A condo-hotel unit is owned like a condo but often operated as a hotel, with limits on personal use and a rental program. Read the rental agreement, fees and the owner's share of income.
Financing and resale
Lenders may restrict loans for land and condo-hotels, with larger down payments. Resale can be slower, so check the exit before you buy.
