My best advice to you, partner with someone who knows their market and has a solid game plan.

Plot 1: 2024 market value of $6,900. 45x120Plot 2: 2024 market value of $3,800. 100x94I'm still pretty new to the game, so I have no experience with land deals, ground up construction, zoning, things of that nature, and am wondering what the best play is.Sell one to help with acquisition costs and build an ADU on the other?

If your new servicer wants to play games, file a complaint with the CFPB and dispute with the credit bureaus.

Compare that to Phoenix where I had been to a game just one month earlier.

@Jake Baker Love the approach of measuring the total offers that you send, if you know your strategy most of the time it is a numbers game no matter the condition of the market. 

When you are new to the game, agents, wholesalers, other investors, and even you can push you around.

It's all a part of the game. 

I played that game and I don't want to make money just to make money anymore.

It’s s about knowing how to position yourself in markets where demand remains resilient, even when global STR margins are tightening.So yes, I completely agree that the game has changed, but for those willing to tackle the hard stuff in overlooked international markets with large American populations, the opportunity to combine cash flow with long-term appreciation is very much alive.

I already have land holdings near Everett that will certify out at 304 salable density bonus credits.To play this game, I get certified and then "clip off" the transferable development rights for sale to urban developers in the county, who can cash them in for an increase in dwelling unit density from an original 22 units/acre to 58 units, and building heights from 45' to 75'.
