What this video covers

A practical answer before you spend on the wrong path

SB9 is valuable only when the resulting parcels and project economics make sense. This video explains why difficult access, expensive utility work, poor lot geometry, title or lender complications, site hazards, and weak market value can point toward a different strategy.

Key takeaways

  • Legal eligibility does not guarantee a practical or profitable project.
  • Access, utilities, geometry, site work, and marketability can change the decision.
  • A clear no can be valuable when it prevents spending on the wrong project path.
