About 2 weeks ago I received my first list of tax delinquent home owners from the county in my target market, but I don't really know what I'm looking at since this is a raw data.

However, there are strategies that work here in Washington if you know how to do due diligence on raw land.My favorite strategy is to buy raw land and seller finance it to builders.

I already flip raw land am very interested in surveying.

(Note that the 9.6% to the right of the thumbnail is based on the "raw" numbers which excludes vacancy and repairs; those costs are included in the detailed cash-flow analysis when clicking the orange button.)        

For raw land a map and aerial with property outline always helps too (like what you have).

Have you done any investing in raw land, or are you strictly into properties with improvements?

If that property passes a rigorous due diligence process and you choose to pursue it, I think, as a new investor, your best strategy is to figure out if it would be possible to buy the 2 acres with the duplexes and sell the other 8 acres.You can get up to speed on handling those or hire a PM a whole lot faster than you can figure out how to develop raw land. 

Jon don't think 100 dollars worth of letters will do much.you have raw newbies who know  no better going into debt thousands to send these letters and never make a deal.. same people rip gurus for over charging or mentors for charging.

Plus it should be able to sell for more as raw land if all else fails.

Newbie here.I own about 50 acres of raw land spread over several counties in Georgia.About half are in neighborhoods and the other is in a rural setting.
