If you plan on financing your future rental empire, getting cheap money will be very helpful.  

I actually began remodeling/rehabbing and making friends with the probate and assessors office when I was 16 years old, spent 7 years in banking, and  I am currently laying the foundation for the empire I am on my way to creating in the real estate world. 

Brandon Turner will share with you exactly how he built his own real estate empire using this technique.

How do I go about finding investors who buy vacant lots to invest in land?

Greetings from the Inland Northwest!

If neighbors, or people in town, see you as someone that is not from the area trying to build an STR empire, you will likely get brushback.As I also do STRs in Orange County, CA -- comparitively, I view JT as relatively low-risk to ever losing the option to rent out my properties short-term.

I'm in land development as a design engineer and generally the contractor is required by contract to produce a certain quality and there are remedies just in case the quality is not as agreed on

Zach, these lots are north of Galena in Empire City. 

Virtual all RE in So Cal is in San Diego, OC, and Los Angeles but even if I include Riverside and Inland Empire Southern Cal has had great RE profit. 

If you look at a lot of data that comes out of markets that are within the top ten and twenty of most heavily increased in population due to work, and or affordability the Inland Empire along with Riverside County/Riverside is always one one of those lists.
