Looking to see how I can tell if a vacant lot/land is allowed for a single family home (SFH) or duplex to be built on it.The area is West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Ft.

Quote from @Don Konipol: We have a saying in Texas that seems to apply to the subject of this thread“Big hat, No cattle”..Classic response @Don Konipol What a great missed opportunity to promote his project, but sadly unrealized.And for those of you out there in T.V. land, there are many ways to verify Everything in the good ole' U.S.A.

Gotta say, the discussions here have been pretty informative, especially with folks like @Taylor L. and Andrew sharing their insights.Looking at your list, I’ve actually known invetors who recently ventured into Memphis and Greensboro.

Have you run the numbers on refinancing vs. selling the land parcels?

Ram, this is an established model in Texas and land oriented states that I have direct experience with.

Is it the same as land trusts ?

Giving them a laundry list of items will typically just overwhelm them and create more confusion instead of giving them a smaller step process to get more confidence to get the ball rolling and then they can get into the weeds on their state when they get the contractors out there, have local bids come in, and dial in their plan. 

The coastal land is already near built out including Miami.  

On the flip side the clients I fund in my land deals are doing very very well in the foothill subdivision 50 miles or so west of the springs.. but thats the land game buy low sell high.. cant wholesale that stuff it needs to go on MLS to marketed and turn around time is generally 90 to 180 days but nice margins for my clients ..

I found a seller who is motivated to sell his property at a pretty steep discount.My plan is to put the property in escrow on an executory contract/land contract with the condition that the title will transfer once the seller receives his funds.
