Buyers should never solely rely upon the seller disclosure and advertising materials regarding the property that the buyers are considering buying.

Buyers should hire qualified expert inspectors for all issues that matter to the buyers.

Often there is great uncertainty about how offsite properties and offsite conditions might change in the future.

Buyers must understand the uncertainty about how offsite owners and the government can change offsite uses and conditions in the future.

Buyers can somewhat manage the uncertainty with offsite conditions by hiring experts to investigate offsite conditions (e.g. private investigators, journalists, lawyers, government experts, futurists, golf course experts, forest experts, pond experts, lake experts, dam experts, strategic planners) and conducting buyer investigations about future offsite conditions.
