Eli,If I were you I would look into Subject Two, Land Contracts on Properties that are free and clear and Raising Private Money!

Cody,If you want to work with a bank or lender to build on a piece of vacant land you will need to be on title of the land for at least 6 months.

And my final dream is to buy land in my home country to build affordable housing for people there.

It's only worth whatnit will appraise for for the value of the houses and land.

One of our favorite discoveries is that IT'S TRUE, dream opportunities DO land in your lap, the longer you're in business! 

Of course, your "L" and his "L" probably stand for different names, but they are easy to remember nonetheless. 

Does anyone know, or have a good idea, about the difference in returns on entitling & developing the land for each scenario, with final objective to sell to a builder to build and sell the structures him/herself.  

And we land at SubTo, the underbelly of the sewers where all the slim and sludge lies. 

Apart from it being an awesome town, we are also land locked by the Navajo reservation and national parks.

The goal is to keep these for rentals.I currently own the land personally and am funding the builds with a combination of HELOC and cash - no bank debt tied to these properties specifically.
