I had an informal meeting with a local developer, mason and excavation company that works closely with the city on many projects. I now have a list of questions I need to get answered and will be meeting with the city tomorrow to find the answers. Turns out I have already spoken with the city person at an unrelated business meet up. I feel good about this!

Accidentally posted this question on my personal Facebook page and now have a phone call scheduled with a developer that does work in Breckinridge. He is willing to either partner up with me or give me advice on how to move forward. Wish me luck!

Quick update, I immediately hopped on spokeo and found the relatives of the property owner. After numerous wrong numbers and email addresses I received a call from the property owner. He would have been happy to sell it but unfortunately I was too late and someone else tracked him down and went under contract.

Any recommendations on who I could speak with to make this happen?

The owner is a committee who will vote on any offer made. So far no offers but a lot of interest. Purchase price is about half a million and the lot has no setbacks, the building footprint can cover the entire lot up to the side walk. I have been watching this piece of land for almost a year and it surprisingly has come up for sale.

Hello BP, I have stumbled across a prime piece of commercial land that would be profitable to develop as multifamily apartments or retail space. It is the last commercial land available in the middle of a booming small town. I have the dream, the local and inside knowledge, and the county of Boulder backing the plan. I am cash poor but time rich. Where do I start and who would I speak with to make this happen?

Hello BP, I was doorknocking today and several neighbors pointed me in the direction of an abandoned house. They said an old lady lived there but the house has been vacant for over a year. One neighbor told me the house was being foreclosed on and another neighbor told me it was the only drug house left in the neighborhood. After telling them that I am wanting to purchase property in the neighborhood I had three different people tell me that I should "do something about it" and "somebody should flip that house." The house is not listed and I get the impression that the owners have passed away. How would I go about acquiring such property? What should be my first step?

@Terrance Doyle Excellent! I sent you a message.

Don't pay attention to anything you've learned or heard. Go find the agent or investor that makes bank and is willing to take you on as a mentor. Work for free at first until you start doing your own deals.

Hello BP, Any of you handyman or contractor's work in the Nederland/West Boulder area? I would love to discuss some multifamily/ rental opportunities.
