It would be good to talk to a lender to make a game plan and review your financials. 

I’m all done playing those games.    

Hi Mark, I am a founder of a startup helping RV park developers source land.

OK being a life long CA and selling and developing land here for 50 years..

The Private Equity and Institutional investor is playing the ADU game - I’m working with them.

This is my first personal mortgage so I'm trying to learn the game.

I personally like to buy in towns/neighborhoods in which no new builds are possible within 10 miles because all the land is developed.

Many of the surrounding communitie are up and coming with a lot of developments happening. 

Real estate prospecting is a numbers game, so the key is to keep reaching out, tracking your progress, and refining your process along the way.Let me know if you’d like to brainstorm more ideas or chat about prospecting strategies!

Generally larger commercial properties and shopping centers are easier to classify with hard and fast rules, but to the points above the residential areas really move very quickly and have way more nuance than most people care to admit.zip codes are generally way too large for my liking at least in my market to provide any kind of insights other than macro level economics but even then highways or rivers that cut through a zip code can end up with totally different trade areas.we can get pretty granular with cellphone data and with grocery center data to understand the trade areas and their true boundaries, but that kind of data pull is generally only cost effective for investors doing larger scale projects or developments, and honestly we still just end up getting on the ground and feeling it out, so I generally tell people that the money is better spent on a plane ticket and weekend trip in the area you are looking rather than any kind of "trade area" level data studies.and generally B class in 1 area means something different than another.
