As Remington mentioned above, I would be cautious while wholesaling since so many wholesalers try to go around without disclosures and simple contracts.

(Noticed I didn't include architects in that list - from my experience most architects are great at building design but shouldn't try to do land planning.)If you have never done any development like this before than it would make sense to partner with someone who has (or flip it entirely) once you have a site plan of the property's potential.

Look for properties on main corridors or sites with existing structures (e.g., small houses or retail buildings) that can be torn down and redeveloped.Challenges in South Florida: Be mindful of market conditions and local regulations.

I realize there is probably no simple answers but I am all ears from all sources. 

Honestly what I started doing more is use chatgpt to get a better idea of where to search or specific sites.

Ditto @Michael Baum - a simple 3 ring binder and I update/replace it if it looks even a bit worn down.

You can find a lot of wholesalers on this site in your area too. 

And some of us been replying back yes there is, just where they are, how to get them, has changed a bit and it's no longer as simple as closing your eyes and randomly throwing darts at a MLS map and buying whatever. yes, those days are long gone but if your willing to roll-up the sleeves and get professional at it, there is "deals" all over the place, you just gotta get skilled on how to find them, tap them, monetize them. 

Too many people involved to do a relatively simple transaction.

If not then look for asset based lendng such as ABLadvisor or similar sites.
