After a few sub bar but fruitful tactics (cold calling) I thought I would ask the bigger pockets network.

at that point they are basically "junk properties" not worth trying to buy or renovate, and should be bulldozed, and the raw land resold at a penny opener auction on EBay. 

If this post doesn't give any fruit i'd suggest you find the top 10 most REI friendly agents you can find in your area and reach out to them directly.

Jerry -- most all of the low-hanging fruit has been harvested.

If you can't force appreciation because the area sucks the going-out cap rate may very well be WORSE than 10%....so Mitch is right to focus on the location in addition to the raw numbers that are easy to post online.

When making such a large move from a booming Memphis market to anywhere be sure you see the fruit that someone bears before you count them as a mentor.

Here’s a list, which provides a good start:-Developed vs Raw land (meaning infrastructure, lot/pad delineation, utilities in place, etc)-# of filled lots?

Hi all, I've got raw, commercially zoned land at an intersection near me that is perfect for 6,000 to 9,000 sq ft, 3-4 unit Retail Strip center. 

Office is dead, retail can be risky,  Multifamily and Residential are over priced, STR's are saturated and starting to get taxed and banned, Storage is just okay, and land takes forever to see the fruits of your labor.  

Enjoying the fruits of their labor.. while I sit here and work and get this deal done so when he gets home on Monday he will then own yet another home.. !!!
