Purchase price: $28,000 Cash invested: $28,000 Raw land, and 2 adjacent lots to be developed into duplex rental What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Horse stable in the middle of LA, 20 acres 1/2 swamp next to major airport in Florida, church with 6 acres in the middle of town, contact bank Trust departments and let them know you want to buy.

Just to mention a few:- Wynn Casino (First Casino in the GCC states) in Ras al Khaimah- Al Maktoum International Airport (set to become the worlds busiest airport)- Palm Jebel Ali (the second palm bigger and more luxurious)- Expo City (Regions largest exhibition center)Its a lot of information but I believe it gives a simple explanation to the complex market here.Let me know if you would like to know more about the market and if you would need guidance into exploring the possibilities here!

Site Civil and land use planning....I've been in the conversations for major clients that have both pursued an eminent domain against adjacent owners and have had takings due to eminent domain.

Adjacent to this bustling hub, affordable residential lots have remained available, particularly after decades of urban renewal and the city's efforts to address blight.

All the adjacent counties?

The international airport already hit over a million passengers this year, and the projection is 4 million passengers by 2030.

If you've lived in your town or city for 5 or 10 or 20 years, you will know things about it I can never know and thus you have a distinct advantage over me when it comes to investing - you know what a good price is, what a bad neighborhood is, what house looks good on paper but is underneath the airport flight path, and so on. 

@Matt Wan From overseas I would suggest buying in a market that is readily and easily accessible from one of the airports you can conveniently get to.

i do not disagree with your statement and when i pay my house off next, I will use that approach and keep the HELOC as a safety net in case I need to write a big check.What I love about getting to the airport is that there are multiple ways to get there.
