I posted this in another thread too, but I wanted to get some help from the community on this one.

Hello Laura,I have actively purchased land that I identified for the last 10+ years.The easiest way to find out if the land is for sale is to talk to the owner directly.You can use tools such as Whitepages.com surprisingly they have over 90% of people's cell numbers.If you can't get the owner on the phone, I would send them a letter asking them if they want to sell, I have seen other people use actual contract offers that they send out to the owner trying to purchase the property.I would not share my concept unless its some sort of Charity that you are either seeking a partner or donation for.I haven't used PropStream, However one really good tool is called Land Glide, its and app on your phone, and you can look at the parcel makes in real time, and also see the owner info and for each parcel.Hope this helps,Dustin 

If you have or can build equity in your houses do the 2 out of 5 years as primary and sale tax free up to $250,000 per spouse.

Sure, @Carla Kordab should be able to help!

When I first started, I remember how valuable it was to get involved in projects, learn from experienced investors, and build a network within the local community.In the College Station area, there are plenty of opportunities to get your hands dirty and really learn the business from the ground up.

Wholesalers often have properties at below-market prices, and realtors can help you identify potential deals in your target areas.

I appreciate your help.
