Depending on the city, I do like the urban redevelopment push (heck I even live in one out side of Portland), as well as @Anthony Gayden point of looking on the outskirts of the cities and suburbs were the raw land is to build and cheeper taxes, fees etc.

Erin Royster so wholesaling raw land to a developer is going to be extremely tough.

Have you ever used raw land as an investment vehicle?

They are actually loaning on *raw land* to be developed into a property through construction.

Also the end developers in most cases are large corps .. it cuts down on their risks and keeps raw un-entitled land off of their books 

My county lists out auctions for months going forward on the web, but I'm kind of looking for something that's a little more user friendly than a raw action list.I have about a billion more questions, but I just previewed this and it's already too long.

As far as the court house is concerned do I just go there ask for the most recent defaults or foreclosures I've heard they read off the foreclosures and you have the option to buy them but, if you have you haven't seen the property how do you set up a contingency to ensure your not getting a raw deal.

No upsells, no hard closes to buy some guru's program, just raw honest info from seasoned investors about what they are doing, where they were doing it and how (in some detail, they can't give away the farm).

If a Wal-mart wants to develop on a few raw acres of commercially zoned land, does it make that land a lot more valuable?

Also looks like that trust owns some raw land in town also.
