Hi all,I am new to RE investing and recently bought a few SFHs from the same builder.

We've worked with some Realtors, and spoken to some builders.

Trying to wholesale while it can work its like I said very tough to do and your going to have a ton of deals fall out because of the inherent marketing times for dirt.And when your talking about commercial property its even worse.. you will not sell it unless your basically giving it away UNTIL you find a user.. and buyers of commercial are far more sophisticated than buyers of a rural parcel looking to build a cabin or a builder looking to build on infill in a city.In northern CA we bought 72 acres of which consisted of 14 parcels of record. 4 of them 5 acres each were zoned industrial this was a small rural county.. we sold the 9 that were for resi purposes in the first few years.

Thanks @Jennie Berger. there is no way that it costs builders $200/sqft to build framed houses.

If I was working for a builder and talking to people about selling only those homes, you would not need to have a sales/real estate license. 

Last fall our girls soccer team had a game canceled because one of her friends found a dead body just off the pitch near the parkway.  

@V.G Jason 40% of the agents in the whole industry is active, only 20% of the agents closed deals in the last 3 months. 0.005% is an accurate figure for builder agents

We've certainly experienced a fair share of new build/builder quality control issues.I do believe the long term has significant upsides but you know that already with your understanding of the mountain communities.

 - why has RE been a great wealth builder.  

The pro forma the builder put on our page shows 11.5% CoC ROI (if you look at the bottom of the page where the ROI is broken out).
