Hi all,I recently posted about this topic and unfortunately did not receive any responses.I have recently established my land acquisition business with the goal to purchase parcels of land, either within data center opportunity zones or areas with the potential to allow for data center development, rezone the property with submitted plans, then sell to developers ‘shovel-ready’ within the various jurisdictions of the Commonwealth of Virginia.I understand there are multiple mechanisms that come into play including obtaining financing (partnering with an experienced investor), utilizing land-use attorneys, land surveying and engineering firms, appraisers, as well as approval from local planning commissions, board of supervisors, etc.Would there be any investors who are currently active in this niche?

I'm wondering if it would make sense to source modular homes in China and have them shipped to and assembled in markets like Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, and other where you can buy vacant lots with utilities for as little as a few thousand dollars.

In this section, I want to emphasize the benefits of seller carry financing, share success stories where it enhanced the deal, and highlight the tax advantages of utilizing a 1031 exchange.Seller carry financing is a powerful tool that allows investors to purchase properties with flexible terms and minimal upfront capital.

It goes without saying that you should get the lease agreements as soon as possible so that you can have some transparency into the number of occupants, the rent, any agreements, utilities paid/not paid by the tenant, parking, storage, responsibilities like lawn/snow, expiration dates, special clauses, etc. 

Utilizing Seth's local market expertise, we quickly assessed the property's potential.

To comply, refer to your loan agreement and provide evidence of occupancy, such as utility bills or driver's license updates.Good luck!

If everything is fine on the legal / rental side of things I would stipulate in the lease that the large living room closet would not be allowed to be used as a bedroom and would need to be utilized in some other capacity i.e walk in closet.I understand no one can give legal advice on this site but guidance or websites to look over would be a huge help! 

I’m the meantime I was able to find a new tenant who has paid the security deposit, first month rent, and has scheduled utilities to be transferred to their name but no lease has been signed yet.

In its best year, 2023 it cash flowed $3,000 a month before increase in property tax and utilities have squandered it down to maybe $1,500. 

I'd start by checking with your local REI groups if possible and visit a few meetings and ask who the local investors are utilizing.
