The problem with sites like Zillow and Realtor is that even if you take it off the market for 30 days and it shows as a new listing, buyers can see the price history from when you bought it to when you listed it and dropped the prices . . . that "trick" worked before the history was public so not sure that is the solution. 

we buy city lots with public sewer and water and only would buy sites like that.

Too early to say whether the licensing and legislation/reform that's slowly being introduced across the country will clean up the perception but currently this is how many in the industry (particularly the ones you want to build relationships with) view the RE wholesale industry.

Some builders have policies of giving up zero in negotiations to members of the general public, while only negotiating with agents.

We’re transparent that closing deals requires dedicated effort and commitment on your part.Your recent public statements inaccurately depict our interactions.

(e) Unaccepted, recorded, irrevocable offers of dedication of the property to the public or a public entity for a public purpose, and recorded options of any taxing agency to purchase the property or any interest therein for a public purpose.

I think that can improve your perception of how much water/pressure you're getting, since it can be adjusted for different preferences.
