This is my first post here and I’d like to hear some of your opinions on how to invest in real estate when someone is on a situation like mine.My dad was a developer and investor.

If I was to go a few hours outside of Wichita, it seems it may be possible.Yeah it depends on what you want.  40-100 acres really has no scale to make any money off of it.Also land within an hour or so of Wichita will sell at rec or development land/small acreage prices - and not to it's true value IMO.Crap land around where Iive in Topeka in between Topeka/KC will sell for 8-10k plus an acre for a cedar infested wasteland that needs Multiple $ks worth of development or a lot of hard sweat equity to get it developable.

Are there any investors/developers local that are interested in networking? 

Lots of new and high-cost development. 

Like @Linda Hastings said, many counties wait until "development begins" before an official street address (I.e., what many investors call a "911 address") is issued. 

Finding out city zoning for new construction on this property, finding out about environmental impact, speaking with the development head in the county, also getting information on the water sewage and electric for the property and what it’s connected to.I offered one of the investors, let’s do the flip.

We have all of this information internally from our property management division.It took a lot of time to develop though

Evictions even when you can do them are not cheap; you might try working it out with the tenants first.There was a developer in our area who bought a 40 unit to renovate and reposition about 3 years ago; the tenants kicked up a fuss, politicians got involved and you can guess the rest.

East Village is undergoing a multi-million dollar development and it's a great time to get in early and buy in the surrounding areas. 

Leander Springs, a 78-acre, mixed-use project with retail, restaurants, entertainment, hospitality, office and residential components, is coming to town, Leander Mayor Troy Hill announced Oct. 15.Located at the southwest corner of FM 2243 and 183A, expectations are that a fully developed Leander Springs could be valued at $1 billion, according to the city.In addition to commercial development, up to 1,600 units of multifamily residential development are proposed for the project, according to the city.
