I'll try propertyradar. Propwire is about the same as Propstream, however, the data is more up to date. Im not liking propstream much anymore. Dont feel like the data is updated regularly.

Ive been using the county GIS. Its slow and super time consuming, but I have had more success talking to actual leads and locking up contracts.

For land, most people use DataTree which requires a subscription. You can also use Prycd or PropertyRadar. I use PropertyRadar for my business.

@Scott Morris thanks for that insight brother. Appreciate it. Right now Im using Propstream and also looking at Propwire which is free data for now. How are the ones you use comparable to Propstream? Excuse my ignorance, just getting back into all this..

@Andy Edgemon thats solid! I didn't think of that one. Kinda new to the land gig. Im sure Ill find some methods that are right up my alley.

With that tax route, whats the benefits there? Excuse my ignorance on it. Ive never really looked into that side of investing before...

Hi @Daniel Gonzalez

Getting a solid CRM in place is invaluable; however, you described "finding and automating the process of finding scrubbed data for land leads". I think this is more of a process that you need to solve before the leads come into your CRM.

For pulling data land data, check out Propwire (free w/o skiptrace), BatchLeads, Privy to name a few. Once you have the list, you can decide how to skiptrace (LeadsSherpa, BatchSkiptrace, etc.). After all that, you need a marketing strategy to bring in qualified leads.

Are you looking for more of a service that will bring you only the qualified or "authentic" leads? In this case, you could look into lead gen companies (be careful as this is fairly saturated space).

As for CRMs: Podio, Airtable, etc. Of course there are more high-end platforms that are higher cost (Salesforce, hubspot) but I would not start there.

@Thomas Shepard thanks for the response!!! I greatly appreciate it and all the detail you included.

I'll check out the references you provided for leads. I'm not sure if the data is going to be the same as propstream, but Im sure I can find that info...unless you know that already and can share.

As for a CRM, I use GHL and have built out my own prospecting AI for land and other niches in real estate which works really well. I will probably build on top of that to make it more compatible with what I am trying to accomplish as I move forward. I was just trying to see if there was anything on the market thats simple to plug and play especially with offer templates designed and already integrated to send out as blind offers.

For lead gen I do run an agency so generating buyer leads wont be an issue. That space is certainly saturated and way to many promises in the space. Ive got a small little team in place.

I was looking for something I can dive right into without having to build something out...

Hey everyone. Looking to see what CRM’s or softwares are out there outside of PropStream or Coles for finding and automating the process of finding scrubbed data for land leads.

I’m currently using PropStream for land leads while checking Zillow for best sold areas.

Anyone have a solid solution they are using or recommend?

Hello BP Crew!

I have been searching high and low for the best place to start in terms of finding vacant land. I am very interested in the topic of land flipping but I am unsure where everyone is going for an easier approach to locating this land.

As with most investors I am looking for vacant land that is currently owned by distressed owners that have pending tax obligations. I have used Zillow to search for recently sold land in an attempt to find areas that are more sought after and from there have accessed the county tax assessment site. I did receive a tip from another BP user who said to check out Seth Williams, where I am finding good info, but wanted to accompany that with suggestions here.

I believe there has to be a better way to search for these properties. The approach I have been using is very time consuming and inefficient.

If anyone can shed some light on what are the preferred sites or services I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

We do millions of dollars a year flipping rural vacant land. I know several investors who do the same. It's a great strategy.

As with most strategies, there are several ways to skin this cat. As @Robert Ellis indicated above you can entitle and/or develop the land but that's not a strategy I would recommend for most investors. Especially someone new to land. Keeping the transaction simple by buying Low and Selling at or near market value is much more approachable.

Seth Williams over at RETipster is indeed the real deal and I would heartily endorse checking out his stuff. There are also several other good educators in the space.

Without getting too far into the nitty gritty what you're looking for is current market trends to see how fast things are selling. You can do this by diving in data from places like Redfin or you can approach it a bit more simply by pulling up the map on Zillow and looking to find markets where there is a healthy balance of Sold Properties to For Sale Properties. More Sold than For Sale over the last year? Good sign! The opposite? Maybe not.

Every market is different but you can always look to sales trends to abstract away the details and tell you how "Hot" a market is.

This is great info. I’m coming back into wholesaling and have been looking at land flips. I think there’s a lot out great opportunity here!

@John Stepp are you using a land flipping contract specifically for your state or is it pretty generic? Im looking for a nationwide land flipping contract with a built in assignment....got any recommendations?

The BPO will determine your short sale offer and approval. Make sure to "influence" it well and ethically.

If they require it to be listed, doesn't mean it has to be placed on MLS unless they require which therefore provides you with "non-mls" listed property and more attractive if you plan on flipping it. :)
