Im not trying to create a empire just a small but mighty portfolio.

Recently moved to NC from Michigan.I am interested in investing in land and subdividing the lots.

I'm currently in Southern California (Inland Empire and Eastern part of LA County) and have been trying to get a property to flip, but not quite finding the right one (or my investor goggles need adjusting so I can see the deals properly).  

Well, good to hear you got a GPS, a big printer and whatever out FROM him and not the other way around Natalie, I was taken aback a bit by the "2 or 3 houses a day" part, unless he has a bunch of staff under him or somehow lined up the miracle home run property manager(s) and/or best contractors to handle every last detail, that would be quite the ridiculously fast growing empire to manage, heck just to close all of those sales you'd be spending the majority of each day at closings!

Hi Noah,I can share a bit of my experience with you since I'm doing something kind of similar and I have a vaguely similar background, banking in emerging markets (in particular but not exclusively Latin America), which included emerging markets risk analysis.While I could invest in land because a) it is very speculative, b) it doesn't produce any cash flows, c) you cannot borrow against it and d) this is not were the money is.Instead, I buy condos well below market value to rent them short term in countries like Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Spain, Portugal or Greece.

I remember listening to @Jered Sturm BP podcast 124: Building a RE Empire at a young age. 

I understand that my networking will be the single most important factor in my success in this business.I am a very social person Empirically however, I have not, up to now been very involved in social media, I mean I am on Facebook I have a twitter handle G+, MySpace, even something called High5 Lol...

You really don't need any of that to get started buying property and builds a empire of debt.  

I would never invest in land contracts in municipalities that I am not familiar with. 

You want to have a clue or more because it’s about what you keep not what you make.You arent making a huge real empire that quick by buying as your PCS.
