I think I stated my Dad was in the land business in the 60s I started in the mid 70s and we have bought and sold thousands of parcels over the years every one of them though we owned wholesaling this stuff was never a thought and will never work unless your in a major metro area snag smokin deals that you can flip to a builder because there is an acute shortage of buildable lots.
