As a local expert, I'd be delighted to assist you in exploring the exciting opportunities these areas have to offer.

It's honestly part of the reason why I developed our Local Real Estate Developer™ course. 

I have a management company that is local for day-day management.

Do you attend your local REIA's?

It's a great way to become more knowledgeable on your LOCAL investors and create your team while you're getting started.

Hi all,I have recently established my land acquisition business with the goal to purchase parcels of land, either within data center opportunity zones or areas with the potential to allow for data center development, rezone the property with submitted plans, then sell to developers ‘shovel-ready’ within the various jurisdictions of the Commonwealth of Virginia.I understand there are multiple mechanisms that come into play including obtaining financing (partnering with an experienced investor), utilizing land-use attorneys, land surveying and engineering firms, appraisers, as well as approval from local planning commissions, board of supervisors, etc.Would there be any investors who are currently active in this niche?

@Josh Silvester You need to check your local laws.

I am not yet, I was in the stage of educating myself and have been networking at my local REI, but obviously they mostly work in Raleigh.

She is an REI coach, but happy to hop on a call, and she lives out there so would have the local knowledge and skillset to help.
