Raw land is often going to be someone who had excess capital to acquire the land and then at some point determined the taxes were worth more than the resale potential.

I found a company selling small notes on raw land ($10-$50k range) that they buy out of bankruptcy/tax sales. 

There are no low hanging fruit deals these days, you have to make things happen.

They are application fees, plan review fees, maybe/maybe not impact fees (tens of thousands of dollars paid to the local government so you can develop a raw land), permitting fees, rezoning fees if rezoning is required. 3.)

Remember with every rental purchased you are planting seeds for a tree that will mature to provide fruit forever.

Having permit before owning the land if it's raw dirt is a weird request.

Try picking on the low hanging fruit first, "Pre-foreclosures" you already know they are in trouble.)Would also “drive for dollars” by biking and running but only in my local neighborhood here in Northeast LA.

Additionally, attending local real estate investor associations can be fruitful, as wholesalers often attend these events to connect with potential buyers.Another method is to keep an eye out for bandit signs in your local area that advertise messages like "we buy houses" or "cash for homes."

Regardless of where you are located and invest, do reach out, I am sure a fruitful relationship and conversations will come out of this.Federico

Hello all,I have previous experience with real estate, but first timer with both raw land and tax auctions in Texas and I'm realizing now just how little I know when it comes to land.
