How common is it to see this? I mean if the project gets financed, what does the builder care?

Very much, thank you. I'm looking at several things right now but being in Southern California, most everything dealt with property out of the area or guaranteed that someone, even if it would be indidrectly, would be dealing with tenants or "lessees". One person on another page suggested I look at the stock market! But I feel like I know more about real estate than many people, and I'd rather take things in that direction. Land sounded interesting because being in Riverside County, I'm still relatively close to opportunities where I can use my knowledge of the area I live in or have lived in to help me evaluate. When the city of Corona moved in around my house, the value shot up immensely. Of course, I know a lot of people out there are thinking the same thing.. But thank you!

Actually in one day I've already heard of and read about quite a few possibilities. Investment trusts and new construction sound interesting but involved expanding my knowledge a bit. I can already do rehabs or "flips" but the market where I live makes this a little tough right now, as prices have been either frozen or dropping over the last year :crying: But thanks!

I'm looking to do some real estate investments that do not involve tenants, and was wondering if it's worthwhile at all to look at buying and holding land? I've heard stories about people buying and holding for a year, and then selling as towns close in on it for a profit. Is this worth considering, or are the odds too slim or unpredictable to both with?

Hi all!

I'm new to investing but know a bit because lots of friends own apartments. I personally do not want to be a landlord, but would like to take some of the equity I've made over the past few years and put it in something, so here I am, looking for ideas :) Sounds like a few of us are here for the same thing.

I'd also be curious to learn about telling the good deals from the bad. Many of my friends own property, but I really have no desire to become a landlord and based on what I've heard, this type of investing sounds like a good alternative. Besides, near where I live (southern cali), there's nothing worth investing in anyway it would seem..
