Pounding the pavement.

The area keeps adding new restaurants, breweries, and infrastructure projects (huge repair/pavement on Cicero in last week).

Thanks for the info @Zac Ballin, I'll definitely be pounding the pavement before I decide where to buy.

18 = 11k lot raw... not sure cost there but say for round numbers civil and survey record plat 4k ... that 15k   we pay 30 to 50k per lot to do all W P S U Storm Pavement... so 45 to 65k all in ... then back into home prices I have no clue as to what you sell for or build for but that's easy math.. and maybe you can do the whole underground portion for 15k a lot..

For example we were selling properties for our clients in an area where the people who had laid the asphalt had filed a lis pendence advising that their was a suit with the original builder of the community that we had to "bond" around.

Another GC quoted me for 17,500 to include all design/permits/labor/tearout/materials for design/build a gable roof w/ 4x12 pitch w/ 24 square of asphalt shingles.The last quote I got was from developer/builders who work these all the time... they expressed extreme concern about the structure being able to hold the new roof. 

There is about 2.5 acres, mostly which is asphalt.

Talked to a realtor today that came across a dry land deal worth 750 an acre he's just put under contract for 25k so I know there here just have to keep "poundin the pavement".

I'm not really sure how to ask this questions, so I will do my best:Currently I am looking for land that has a lot of acreage that already has a road paved or needing pavement.

If you want to learn about your market pound the pavement.
