just as @Barclay Hallowell  explained far more complicated than it looks.you may want to start with a simple lot split or a minor partition.. those are less onerous. once you do 4 lots or more in most jurisdictions this is deemed a subdivision and has a much more rigorous set of hurdles to jump over.As well as this is HIGHLY regionalized.. in our market here in PDX once you go into contract on a piece of dirt you will be 2 years or so before you can break ground and go verticle.. this is resi construction.in CA. it can be that and up to decades..

@Abdul Azeez COC is just a piece of the analysis you should use when looking at property.

I think putting a picture of the property on the direct mail piece is a great idea if you are just doing a small scale direct marketing campaign... it would get very time consuming if you were marketing to hundreds of properties.I understand that in driving for dollars/direct marketing situations it's typical for cash offers or contract for deed offers, but does anyone have different funding examples (specifically bank financing) when dealing directly with the seller?

They are on the market right now for 750k a piece!

I also just recently paid for the PRO membership here and have started catching up on old webinar episodes.Looking forward to posting more progress as it happens and also to networking with all the helpful  and knowledgable members here on the site.I will be looking to build our team shortly - looking for agent(s), CPA, contractors and all the other integral pieces of the puzzle.

My main piece of advice would be not to rush into anything just to get your first deal.
