Biggest question is whether or not you are looking for land to build on or something already built. It is important to understand that if you are looking to finance this property, it will likely require more of a down payment that what you may be accustomed to (if buying vacant land, you are more than likely going to need to buy the land all cash \\[unless it is producing some type of income\\]) and then need to get a construction loan for the structures you want to build. If it is a mixed use property, the loan will depends on the residential/commercial  mix more than likely.
