Other states are probable less insane than Massachusetts, which isn't saying much..For valuation, think (ODI X 2.5) + land value + assets + inventory. 

All in it was a good time, but I just couldn't believe what these people were paying for the properties, let alone the issues that you all brought up here, city fees, previous owner notifications, and land locked locations. 

Look at the lay of the land any issues that need addressed to keep water away like the front yard etc..  

Set up a Land trust and take title in name.

Looking for thoughts/experiences on buy and hold (5-10 years) land banking starting 2024 in the path of solar development - Kern County, CA. 

@Stepan Fedetskiy section 8 can be good option if you have a good PM who maintains the property in good shape all the time as per the needed standards. best part is govt pays a portion of the rents so you dont have to chase tenants, downside the upkeep of the unit will eat up appx 20%. so its little tricky..sounds good on paper but when you go through one you will get an idea. i had 4-5 section 8's , 3 of them had no issues, but 1 of them had lot of issues and ate up all the profits.  

The value of the land is estimated to be about 35% of the total cost of the project, I have an excellent credit score, high income and very low DTI so qualifying for a loan would not be an issue, other than the fact that I am not a GC.

It is just my luck but been trying to land a deal for months and as soon as I do 6 others including one that would be a great flip comes around.

Acquiring land in Virginia and South Carolina where Data Centers are most populous seems like a winning strategy.

I'm hoping to read, learn, and be able to hone my offer skills, expand my network of sources, and be able to land these flips.
