A man once paid the full token amount for a "prime location" plot — only to find out later it was still years away from getting an actual road built to it.

Mistake #1: Trusting the Brochure More Than the Site Visit
Glossy brochures show wide roads, green parks, and a skyline that doesn't exist yet. Sometimes it never will.
