@CJ Berina sorry for the delay I was on vacation. I wasn't suggesting buying specifically buildable land. We buy and sell wholesale land. There are very good opportunities in California. You have to know how to work the data and reach the owners. Hope this helps!

@Jake K. 

step 1 - area, size, purchase price in your range (all that research). Spend a full day on this.

The rest of this can be done on a Sunday afternoon:

step 2 - pull a list of exact sellers you want to mail to. For example, 3/2, zip code xxxxx, subdivision, lot size x, assessed value between x-y, no mortgage or less than x %, etc. You download a report in an easy spreadsheet with owner name, address, and all property detail. 

step 3 - scrub your list to remove duplicate owners, government agencies, anything out of ordinary

step 4 - "mail merge" list into your ready to go offer letter to purchase. (make a sincere, realistic offer and included your closing agenda)

step 5 - use a cheap, industry specific printer (we spend less than the price of a stamp to get the whole thing printed and mailed)

step 6 - wait for signed offers to come back and pick the best ones to purchase! Or put them under contract and pass the deal to your ready to go flipper and charge them $10k per deal like we do.

You should be buying at way less than "market value" so everybody wins!  Hope this helps.

@Jake K.  You are welcome!  Well, we buy and sell wholesale, cash.  We look for owners who want to sell their land below mkt and we get there first and make a profit buy selling it well priced and quickly.

@Kayla Collura You can definitely start small and build a property portfolio and not take on any debt. With little $ you can get a website going (to sell what you buy), find motivated sellers, and start flipping property. Vacant land is a great place because no big issues and you can buy and sell all over the country fairly easily.  And since no debt, it is okay if a property takes a few weeks to sell. The key is really learning how to buy it right. Look at property as a business. Not emotional - just as an investment. If you cannot buy it so inexpensively that you can easily double your money tomorrow, don't buy it. Just move on to the next deal. Easy to get your phone ringing with motivated sellers once you learn how to reach them!  Holler if I can help.

@Kayla Collura  Congrats and glad you are here in BP! Great place to learn! An excellent way to learn about real estate is buying and selling undeveloped land. Incredible returns, no rehab needed, and you can buy/sell all over the country. Great way to learn how to create and close deals - and any budget can work!  Holler if I can help.  Much success to you!
