Not home owners or land lord policies.

Im located in Phx,Az and its common here to still see empty dirt land in prime areas of city, as an example, my father who knows next to nothing about real estate purchased a 7k sqft gated dirt land  in the city 3yrs ago for $35k cash, was planning to invest in it but it was too much hassle for him so recently he sold it for $140k .What's a good way to find good deals on empty dirt land  in the city or close by, does mls offer this search option.

Inflation- still have plenty of hard assets and development land sites, to ride any high inflation moves.Let me know if you recommend any changes/adds to the above action items. 

Would it be safe to assume that vacant land would follow the same trendlines/sediment as single family in Cape Coral?

The Columbus market is known for it's strong appreciation factor, low taxes, and also because it is a land-lord friendly state.

Would like the subsequent to be 20 some units. way to step it up great work, I'd encourage you to look at single plots of land and one large tract of land and one multifamily or mixed use that has 20 housing units. without plats and engineering if you are really feeling it go for midrise over 5 stories wait till you see how much you can make! 

I don't want to experience the same with learning about land.  

My firm is looking to branch into land development.

The drive is a horseshoe shape around the back of the building (only one building on the property).

Beside the “subject to” that’s recently become the subject of much debate we utilized  ”no interest short term owner financing”, the “2nd mortgage crank”, substitution of collateral, mortgage subordination, wrap loans, real estate “exchange” (not for tax reasons), sale - lease back, guaranteed rent payments, sale - buy back, land offered in lieu of down payment, zero coupon bonds as substitution of collateral, and a few others that escape my memory.
