Lesson 8 – Land Use Planning and Control

Lesson 8

Land Use Planning & Control

Real estate is more than land—it’s a bundle of legal rights. In this lesson, you’ll break down what “real property” really means, how it differs from personal property, and how property rights can be limited or controlled. This foundation will help you understand ownership, transfers, and disputes later in the course.
