While these are only conversation starters, they can lead to deeper conversations about someones interest in buying, selling or referring someone to you.- Do not get caught in the analysis paralysis trap!

Make sure to do an in depth analysis  for past 5 years of the neighborhood as to how many appreciated and do a comp with the one you are trying to buyHave a strategy to do Value add example kitchen remodeling , have  good references for contractorsAttend a  REI meetup in that area and also scour Facebook groupsHave an exit strategy in place in case things go slightly south

@Lloyd PreeceRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

They could be good source for leads, they should be able to do the site work or refer to someone 'recommended' who can.For bare land- Your short 2month timeframe for permitting (city or county) and utilities is not going to be realistic or even close, most of the time.Your best bet is to find land that has a mobile (demo and scrap it) then replace.

Hey Jeff - Happy to connect and chat through this market / refer some contacts over to you as your're right it is hot!

I'll refer you to that on that portion of your comment.

@AdaPia DErrico, appreciate those references.

I will get in touch with the references and also dedicate a day to chatting with local agents.

Potential clients do not know of NARPM; and their site is geared towards building membership, not necessarily referring potential clients to it's members. 

For a general reference to the concept, read "The House Hacking Strategy" by Craig Curelop.
