How to Acquire and Develop Raw Land

[Lloyd Segal]

LAC-REIA websiteRaw Land. It all starts with raw land. Real estate starts with raw land that is developed, utilities installed, and buildings constructed. But the land always comes first. And clever investors have learned that big profits can be derived by finding and developing raw land. The expert in this field is master land developer Steve Matley, and he is ours at our November meeting. The title of Steve’s presentation is “How to Acquire and Develop Raw Land.”
