What the report covers
| Section | What you see |
|---|---|
| Parcel | Parcel ID, lot size in acres, dimensions, current land use |
| Zoning | Zoning code, minimum lot size, whether it is buildable |
| Flood & wetlands | FEMA flood zone, mapped wetlands, slope |
| Access & utilities | Road type and access, power, water and sewer or well and septic |
| Owner & taxes | Owner type, annual taxes, back taxes owed |
| Market | Assessed value, nearby land sales per acre, estimated market value |
Why each item matters
- Zoning and minimum lot size decide what can be built and whether a lot can be split.
- Flood zone affects insurance, building cost and buyer interest. A lot in a high-risk zone is a different deal.
- Wetlands can make part or all of a parcel unbuildable.
- Road access: a landlocked parcel without legal access is one of the most common land deal-killers.
- Utilities: power at the road versus a long line extension can change a buyer's math by thousands.
- Back taxes come out of the deal at closing and can signal a motivated seller.
- Land values per acre anchor your offer and your buyer's price.
From report to offer to buyer
The report sits next to the rest of your deal: run the numbers in the land MAO calculator, send an e-signed purchase agreement, then match the parcel to land buyers in the 4,000+ buyer network. See Carbon REI for land wholesaling.
A note on verifying
Public records can lag or contain errors. Use the report to spot issues fast, and confirm critical items such as legal access, survey and title with your title company or local authorities before closing.
"If you're looking for a system built around the actual wholesaling process instead of a generic CRM, Carbon REI is definitely worth checking out."
Individual result. Results vary and are not guaranteed.
