Something else to consider when buying raw land out there is that 90% of the time you will have to drill a well, which will run you 25k IF they hit water the first time.  

Generally with raw land you want water, access, and utilities as well as the right to do what you want to do with the property (zoning compliance).I have no idea about wind turbines.

It may not be the case in your area but it seems to be a consensus on BP that there very little low hanging fruits on there.

Otherwise, you're looking at buying raw land and developing it into storage units.I've seen some numbers suggesting the supply of storage may be short of the need / demand by about 34% depending on the area.

The owner was a guest on BP and he specializes in raw land.

I advocate that all investors should understand this process, and should be able to identify at least the "low hanging fruit" - mortgages and municipal liens.

our state is a little different, too, and the local assessor is actually not privy to sales data, non disclosure state, and for some reason has no access to multiple listing, so they rely on surveys and some programs, so they tend to be under the market a bit...they also work off a January date,,so they don't reflect changes in the year like an appraisal, which may be part of the gap...and some areas may just not have many sales, be it commercial, raw land in an area, etc... 

While clients that begin the process with us and go A-Z, no matter the type of project, streamline/limited or full/standard have a smoother and fruitful experience and are able to enjoy the house they have worked with us to convert into a home.  

I took it end of 2007 , before it was in course form, via weekly raw internet discussions and I found my own niche, that was not taught.

Plus the benefit of less raw material laying around for people to steal is always a plus!
