Many properties I have looked at are old, like around the century mark in age.

Although my License is renewed year after year, I sold my brokerage to Century 21 North east in April of 2013 and created/opened my own Real Estate Wholesaling Business. 

@Mike Alder  good luck I grew up in the business.. must watch movie for any land man is Glenn Garry Glen ross... you will see how all these lots you want to buy were created in the first place.land game dates back to just after the turn of the century  ( not 2000) when promoters went through the US creating mega subdivisions prior to any state or federal land development rules.. so you have all these old tracks and the parcels have been traded for 100 plus years.. lost at tax sale bought by someone like you or my dad.. resold on terms  those folks default or lose to tax's and the cycle repeats.Florida created massive subdivisions to attract residence's since no one wanted to live in swamps and such.. think Le High and Coral Gables..  

The story will develop as a rags to riches one, much like Andrew Carnegie in the late 19th century, as I am starting with nothing but ambition. 

     I agree with Kevin, I'm a Realtor with Century 21 and I didn't sell my  personal residence.

@Josh McCulloughThanks for the insights.I'm also looking into the 21st Century CASH Program as a way to bring on homes

Unlike say a Century 21 which is often individually owned franchise, my company Long & Foster is all corporately owned....so they spend a lot of money on marketing and building the brand for us.

Finance has been structured for centuries and hammered out for decades by all the political parties.

The house was little more than a tiny shack built at the turn of the 20th century, so we tore it down -- the deal was essentially just for the lot.
