The Biggest Mistakes People Make Buying Homes on Land (You Won’t Notice… Until It Rains)
Wednesday, 25 February, 2026
What’s the biggest mistake people make when buying homes on land? They treat them like normal neighborhood houses. We are breaking down the massive, consequential mistakes buyers make when purchasing acreage, small land properties, or big backyard homes, mistakes that don’t show up… until six months later. Or until the next monsoon hits. This conversation was sparked by a massive Texas downpour. Watching water pour across roads, topsoil wash away, and properties flood made one thing clear: If you don’t understand how water moves on a property, you could be buying a very expensive problem. When you buy 1, 2, 5, or 10 acres, you’re not just buying a house. You’re buying responsibility for how that land performs. And the city isn’t always managing it for you. Water is just one example. The same goes for:• Wind exposure • Soil quality • Utilities • Livestock rules • Solar • Drainage ditches • Gutters & runoff management These aren’t reasons to avoid homes on land, WE LOVE THEM. They’re incredible. But they require a different level of expertise and awareness. If you’re thinking about buying or selling a big backyard or acreage property in DFW, this is exactly the kind of stuff you need to know before it becomes a surprise.
