How to plan a Family Compound?

“I’m interested in purchasing vacant land or a single-family home with enough space to build 2 or 3 additional small homes nearby in the US. How should I approach this? I’ve heard that some areas can be strict about additional structures, even for things like sheds or home expansions.”

Zoning regulations are crucial. Before diving in, research the zoning codes in your desired area. Contact the local zoning department or hire a real estate attorney to understand the rules for building additional structures. Look for terms like “accessory dwelling units” or “multi-family dwellings” which might allow you to build extra homes.

Remember, even sheds can have size or placement limitations. Building additional homes likely requires permits and approvals, so factor those into your plans. With proper research and understanding of zoning restrictions, you can find the perfect spot to turn your multi-home vision into reality

Everyone has the desire to purchase land and erect houses on it. It’s not really that easy. Every plot of property has a designated use that is governed by local government regulations. You must abide by their regulations; if you break them, everything might be destroyed and you could lose everything. Subsequently, you need to think about energy, water, sewage, etc. Since every piece of land you’re looking at will have a different set of circumstances, there are too many details in each one for anyone on the internet to provide you with a useful response.
