Thanks joe, it was an honor to serve. I'm looking forward to building my business with the help of everyone at BP!

I understand what you're saying Seth, just in case there was a general answer I figured I would ask the question. I'm currently trying to start a business specializing in commercial and residential excavation. Since I will be focusing on excavation anyway, I think owning such equipment might be beneficial to offer these services to specific land-buyers. My purpose is to make it so my business accommodates my real estate ventures, much like a professional mechanic may be more proficient at buying and selling cars than your average investor. I'll continue to weigh my options and keep everybody posted. Thank you for your time Seth.

thanks Seth, that makes sense. I guess I was wondering in which case would cleared land be beneficial as opposed to raw land? also I could harvest the lumber. i'm trying to determine whether or not it would be worth it to me to invest in equipment to accomplish this. Generally speaking, is cleared land more attractive to potential buyers than raw land? If not, in which cases would it be? Why would somebody prefer that? if cleared land is a commodity to a certain group of people, I could potentially look for clearable land as criteria for buying.

Thanks,

John

Hello everyone, my name is John. My brother told me about this website after buying his first house. I'm 30 years old and I just got out of the Army with a service-connected disability (not sure if that's pertinent to real estate) anyway I love BP so far, and it's sense of community. The podcast as well, particularly show 39 which covered land flipping. I'm very new to the subject entirely. I've run heavy equipment most of my adult life, so I was wondering how much clearing/modifying raw land would add to it's value if at all. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge available here. I look forward to being a part of it -John
