A long term goal of mine is to buy land and build a family home probably out in Puyallup. Further out like Graham, Eatonville, deep in Spanaway or Roy might have more options but that's too far out for us. I would mov...

Go for that Chipolte look, raw materials made to look nice, cheap, easy to fix.I would elect a month-to-month lease with a 60 day notice in the terms, that way you have room to manage turnover rates, and you also have the law on your side when evicting for non-payment as you can just show the lease has already expired, so they need to vacate per the law, as you can cancel for non-payment within the pay or quit.

Raw land, I've had 10 years.

It is raw agricultural land.

I'm interested in wholesaling and rental properties to start (quick and easy, when using a management company), and in the future flipping and raw land builds as well.

That means that the epoch of constantly appreciating land will probably come to an unceremonious end, when fewer people demand residential real estate.Many factors drive the market price of raw real estate, but overall, a growing population is necessary to sustain high housing prices.

I've just got my first signed contract back on a piece of raw land/vacant land that I am planning to flip and I am super excited!

With my limited knowledge of investing in US.1) select a market, choose emerging market with the best job growth.2) know your product, whether SFH, Multi, raw land, storage, land development, commercial or industry...3) define your strategy- buy & hold, flip, wholesale ...4) assemble your ground team- realtor, property manager...etc & ask them for referral for contractors, home inspectors.5) make connections with local investors , BP is the best place( I wish I found BP earlier).6) get help with legal entity structure & cross border accountant, set it up properly.7) visit the area you are going to investment.

I am looking for buy  raw land that has no house on it. not all the banks are lending for a raw lands 

If you feel like you're getting a raw deal, shop around and compare.
