Using listsource for finding land

Jimmy Nguyen

Hello,

Does anyone use listsource to find good land deals for new construction?  Compared to my county's antiquated land record office, list source looks like it's really easy to use and will save lots of time.  Although, I did have some questions about the filters.

Is the best way to find buildable lots on listsource to select Property > Property Type > Agricultural and/or Vacant Land?  

Could I also use Property > County Land Use?  

In suburban areas, I'm thinking land zoned for agricultural use or land use will be limited.  That really leaves me with the "vacant land" option?  There is also a category called "Residential:other," which sounds intriguing.  

Also, I have a good feeling, people who inherited land will be good people to reach out to.  Is that best filtered by using the Options > Trustee-Owned Properties > Only
or to use the Property > Equity(%) > 91%-100% filter.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.  

Sincerely,

Jimmy
