basically if anyone has any tips when it comes to researching plots of land in order to make the right purchase i would greatly appreciate it get with a realtor. we underwrite land at no more than 10% of after built value. in our market we build under the average new build value which is about 515k. we like to be around 420-450k and smaller footprint about 1500 sq ft with attached garages. we build close to urban core where everyone wants to live and net migrations match up. but suburban is fine. if you give more context I can help but in most markets land is a buyers market. most people aren't looking at it or buying it. 

What can i do to get started on this?  

I’m in my 20s, 3 yrs into my Finance B.S. and I live at home so my current expenses are very little.

Anyone done anything like this with Propwire with success?
