Due Diligence buying a lot...

[Jason Smith]

I'm looking to buy a lot to build a single family home, in the Charleston, SC area.  I've never done this before, as this will be my first real estate investment property and I want to make sure I cover all my bases.

What kind of due diligence should I do to insure that this lot is suitable for a home?  (zoning, water/sewer, power, HOAs, etc)

Any spec home investor have a checklist out there?

Thanks for the help!  Happy investing
