I myself have been a little inactive from the real estate community and have been gradually taking steps to put a serious foot in the door.I JUST wrote a post about a possible business venture that you may be interested in, should you not mind taking a few minutes to readGo to forums, it's titled "Purchase, Development and Preservation of Raw Land"

$ 4000 in taxes for raw land and its only 1 acre ?    

That is $63,636/lot but its raw land so it will cost another $606k to develop the land and get it ready to build which brings it up to $82k/lot. 

A very high chance I'll get traction and make an income right away.I've considered several career paths to give me an immediate stable income without a four year degree including:Escrow assistant, agent or officerTitle officerReal estate note investingBuying and selling raw landWholesalingCertified Apartment Manger (CAM)That's my initial plan.

There was someone on here a couple days ago looking for raw land in Florida.

Hello All,I am looking to purchase/finance raw land, between the range of 75-300 acres, preferably somewhere in Massachusetts (Central or Western MA would be most ideal) in which I would personally trailerstead on and develop other trailersteads to sell on market.

The prospects have me salivating and I cannot get enough of the podcasts.I have a brief newbie question if anyone out there wants to help (or make fun of) someone very raw.

In some light it can almost look white.Here are some raw photos.

Montana being a classic example of huge run up in raw buildable land prices.. 

Also- its best to use a different metric on residential properties such as CoC, raw cash flow, etc.
