I myself sold a piece of property in New Jersey (raw land) and purchased a property with a house on it in Nashville, TN for my 1031 exchange.

try to buy some raw land and flip it. 

I would assume that you'd just simply sell each individual lot to the developer at a set lot price such that your cost to purchase the raw land and improve it to buildable lots was worth the proposed profit per lot.  

Purchase price: $50,000 Cash invested: $2,000 Sale price: $100,000 44 acres of raw land with frontage on deer lake.

Here are some ideas to make raw land pay for itself:RV or Tiny Home Rentals: Set up RV hookups or tiny homes for short-term rentals.

Specifically, I’m interested in understanding the costs, potential returns, risks, and strategies involved in transforming raw land into a residential neighborhood.  

I never looked at the raw land offerings.  

Does anyone have any good lenders that will lend on raw land?

You want to delegate all the mundane tasks to others and focus on doing tasks that only you can do.While you are calculating the costs of all the raw materials, you also have to calculate your salary into the total cost of writing your own handwritten letters.

Purchase price: $8,000 Cash invested: $2,000 I purchased 2.5 acres of Raw Land in Joshua Tree, less than ten minute drive from the park and downtown area in 2018.Purchased via seller financing.2k down with monthly installments to pay out rest.Current similar lots are selling for around $65kI plan to hold long term Would eventually love to develop something on the land-either an art park or residence.
