I am an investor in northern Nj considering buying some raw land to build a multi family on.

I have my websites that rank well over the years.If you are just starting a website most are going to word press platforms with blogs in them.The SEO platform and the way search engines see data has been changing.Blogging is like anything CONSISTENCY.Anyone can hit a home run once but to do over and over again they make millions of dollars a year.If you are a writer you will naturally enjoy writing a blog and get into it.If you are not a writer it will be a push for you to do it.In those instances maybe recording videos is more your thing and it will automatically have the text and tags attached.You could hire a ghost writer or proof reader to clean up your blog before posting to make it look professional.Some readers like though the raw and genuine nature of a blog untouched telling it like it is.The more articles,videos,blogs etc. you put out there the more of an expert you look to be which attracts more of an audience.Of course you need to back that up with referrals and recommendations from real world transactions.

@Jerry K.Thanks for sharing. invest in raw land has so much opportunities if you know what to look for the different components, like soil, vegetation , mineral rights, water source...etc.In your case is the billboard.

Offer at better than 25% and the goal is to close at or above 20% COC.Medium to large apartment buildings are running 6-8% cap rate...Today in Atlanta with sky high prices for SFR raw materials it's hard to do more than 12% and new purchases much less than 12% cap rate.  

My father is an appraisor and successful raw land investor in the San Angelo area.

Does anyone have experience they can share selling natural gas drilling rights in the last five-ten years, e.g. during the somewhat similar Louisiana rush last decade?

Especially interested in:

Not saying you are, just saying it is fruit for thought.There is also more then 1 way to skin a cat, say if they wont lend for the purchase and that is what you are seeking, how about using HM for bridge financing, rehab and rent or C4D, then seek lending on the owned property?

You can market to people who own raw land and wholesale that land to builders?

I want to be able to analyze the raw data into something meaningful to give me some insight into where the real estate market trends are headed for my area.

I would never buy more than 20 minutes away but I enjoy when others do because its low hanging fruit when they want out.Just today, a call came about a fridge that wasn't cooling.
