I just got the recorded deed back on my first raw land deal, so I'm getting excited to ramp this up. 

I don't know if this post would be considered spam or not (if so, please feel free to delete it) but if anyone is interested, I run a private free Facebook group called "Land Motivation" for raw land investors which is currently made up of many former and current members of Mark Podolsky's Land Geek program.

Or, when the piece of raw meat (the email blasts) gets tossed to the masses, are the masses chewing each other's arms off in order to get the deal?

You can purchase residential real estate, commercial real estate, and even raw or improved land in your IRA, and that's just naming a few.

If a national builder doesn't have a project anywhere near there or a local office then I wouldn't mess with it, they'll need a big project to move into a new area.I wouldn't bother with the MLS either.If you want to be more pro-active, make sure you include the current zoning information and check the master plan and list the future use designation.In addition to the civil engineering firms, you may try local landscape architects, they are the two disciplines that will be most involved in developing buildable lots from raw land.  

To do this, investors should be looking to sell or exchange out of these types of properties: High-Risk/Growth Properties 1. condominium units 2. debt-financed acquisitions with thin capitalization (low downpayment) 3. property purchased under development contract 4. development units recently built 5. vacation properties 6. raw land in developing areas 7. high-income or luxury single family residences.

They have a first mortgage (FHA) with very little equity and own the second piece of raw land without lein.

Really a hidden gem of a raw investment opportunity.

Have you tried mass editing the raw CSV before importing?

Raw land is worth what someone is willing to pay, on any given day.
