I found a listing in Northern California on Zillow that is vacant land with approved plans for building a home. How do I make this happen ? Never done a new build. 

Be sure to tag your post with the location so local folks can reach out to you. 

But as of right now I want to wholesale and maybe buy some preforeclosures for myself to rehab and rent.

For quick math I have a range of each between: 700/yr to 3% of gross income

@Katie Lyon Because our weather is more temperate over the winter months, we have much more consistency in demand across all times of the year, so typically the market stays fairly consistent through all seasons.

I just closed on a new construction home through Rent To Retirement, and wanted to share my experience.

Otherwise, you could network with a local Realtor to your area and see how many duplexes sell per year within your acceptable driving radius.

@Grant KausWelcome to BP!

Happy to connect and knowledge share if you are interested.

We have an existing mortgage (backed by these 2 lots and 2 others) and given the increase in appraised value there is no need to pay anything back to the lender when selling the lot.
