We formed an LLC around 2004 to purchase vacant land for development.

My partner and I have come across a new development that has had to halt construction due to low sales numbers.

Heather,When you say pre-sell, do you mean like being a mini-developer?

My clients generally know me and what I will do for them and we develop some sort of bond.

My sister-in-law told me that there are lots of properties for sale and a few large developments that look like they've halted construction (she does not know why).

I will also help you identify what is good and what is reall good (I don't bother with the bad when it comes to this LOL)!

John gives good advice.When planning any building like this, check with the local planning and development commission to make sure this is doable before you spend any more time or resources on it.Here in seattle all single family lots allows a second accessory dwelling, sometimes called a mother-in-law.

Peter Conti has a good boook that goes into great detail about working with pre-foreclosures and other investing, using the "subject to" technique, and this is a popular technique in wholesaling properties, because you can buy without obtaining new financing, tie up the property until you can identify the buyer who has financing.

I plan on developing a strong business.

Usually the personal relationships take you further than anything else and conferences would be an excellent place to develop those relationships.
