There are a lot of REI folks here and the competition for extraordinary deals can be challenging.I invest in raw resource land in the county with Transferable Development Rights with an even higher value than the asking prices for the land.

A couple of our local school districts are pretty hot right now as far as rentals and raw land deals.

The hedge funds like Blackstone won't buy non-performing notes because it would be bad for their image to mass foreclose on people.In hot markets like mine where (1) MLS deals are one in a thousand (2) the auctions and REOs are overbid and (3) it's borderline illegal to solicit to pre-foreclosure sellers, wholesaling is the only way to go.Most realtors work with retail properties and generally don't know how to price "for profit" ugly homes, tear downs and raw land.

I have some raw land in Brookhaven mississippi and at a great price and I cannot find a buyer.

I mostly dabbled into stock investing but I find it somewhat boring.For me there is just too much to learn in REI and I really like challenges plus I like to kind of get active out there and get my hands dirty.My gameplan isGet into buy and hold Single Family Residential and mobile homes Investing whether locally or in emerging markets out of State.Build cash and then invest into Small Multi-Family residentsHopefully after building even more cash then invest into apartments, commercial property, raw lands, and mobile home parks.I'm open to connecting with like minded people to share knowledge and maybe potentially collaborate with.

I am just getting started in investing in land and I am looking for connections in both buying and selling raw land.  

During the worst depression in history, people were buying garments the raw materials for which cost between 6 months and year's worth of average wages.  

Of course, we can use private lenders or creative financing for flip and short term, but for the long term, we need raw money.

Another thing to consider is that you do not necessarily have to build to add value with raw land.

Will like to start by saying thank you to Bp members  for all the advices I have gotten thus far.My dad is offering to give me a  raw land of size 50 by 50sqm.
