Maybe land isn't the way to go? 

Sounds like you are juggling a lot of balls in the air!

I develop land in Nashville from finding the deals, getting all the entitlement and permits, financing it, to building it in house with my GC license.

Picture this: 3 pools and hot tubs, a dynamic game room, a versatile venue, pickle-ball courts, outdoor theater, mini-golf, and more.

If the structure on the property is determined to have no value, be careful when you consider paying the “value of the land”.The value of raw land is different than the value of land with an existing structure, even if the structure has no value.  

Here are some reasons to get the ball rolling:Thriving Market: Florida's population continues to boom, fueled by warm weather, a strong job market, and a business-friendly climate.

Would greatly appreciate advise on how to start sourcing the land and/or connect me to land brokers who can help.Thank you in advance!

Question is, without the land deal, would you have "bitten the bullet"?

Quote from @Breland Clark: I would like to know more about developing land and subdivisions for new builds and apartment buildings. talk to the land development arms in your city or state.

The pro development and affordable housing advocates use the term NIMBY, but I suspect it is the rare person that buys in a single family zoned area that would be thrilled to have 17 units (qp16 additional units added) in the lot next to them.My initial protege was the land source on this effort.
