I have a degree in civil engineering and 15 years construction, site development, and short term rental experience and am looking to shift my focus/career towards real estate development, mainly raw land although if there were a house on the property could include fix and flip.I plan to purchase 50+ acres of raw land with 1000+ feet of road frontage, have it surveyed and split into separate 5+ acre parcels for re-listing.

This is a marathon and not a sprint, so look at it like that so that you can have a long and fruitful career.  

We purchased the raw land fall 2024. 

We’ve been working towards this for a few years, and it is very exciting to finally see the fruit of our labor!

Are you focusing on raw land, infill lots, or something more niche like agricultural or recreational plots?

I have .33 acres there of raw land and would like to see if there are others. 

I'd never touch that price. we underwrite 10% of after built value so in one of our markets in columbus that is 600k new build 40-60k on raw land

Here's our raw stats and would love to see yours in your marketMarket Average (All New Builds in Columbus MLS, 2024):Avg.

So far, the FOA is covered by the fruit production. 

For the BRRR method, houses that just require lighter work and have working utilities can be low hanging fruit and competitive.
