I agree with your thoughts.

Unfortunately, if you don't have the resources, its not very possible.here is my sort of "truth vs. reality:"  I think we'd agree that its true if you were a professional athletes you make lots of money (male more so than females, but that's not the point). 

What are advantages/ disadvantages for both seller and buyerA Land Contract can be for the length of time the buyer and seller agree to. 30 years is fine.

We agreed on price, but something came up prior to closing, so we negotiated the price down by 12k.

We've contacted the neighbor and he's agreed to draw up an easement to resolve the issue.

I'm working on projects in florida and ohio. entitled or unentitled is a big difference. we typically look for land in larger tracts in columbus ohio for under 50k per acre. that's mostly rural land that is then entitled through engineering and zoning variances, a huge money maker if you don't do it. entitled land depends on density. lowest I've seen is typically 6 dwelling units per acre and highest I've seen in suburban markets might be 26. i think there is a lot of missing things to answer your questions like how big of projects, but I can give you a very recent lot we featured for investors who build a stacked triplex with us around Orlando and other markets in florida. it was a 43k piece of land on about .3 acres. through planned development you can get a duplex approved it was in poinciana in Osceola county. that's on the small side and it's hard to find land and it wouldn't really increase in value there but that's about 5k or less in fees to get that done. so all in 50k for a 2-3 unit. so 25k a door would be a good price to look at. normally as you buy at scale it gets much cheaper because you are doing all the value and creating something from rural land or wetlands, etc. entitled land typically sells for 11k-13k per door I would say on average in suburban markets on a national average. that is extremely difficult to track but we work with groups in land entitlement all over the country who co -develop with us and we create benchmarks that's more of an internal conservative and we push high density and multifamily to maximize profits on the exit once the project is entitled. 

I agree with @Calvin Baughman.

the very reason why there's fixed loan in USA becaue the gov. mandated private lenders to be baggage holder of people's debt LOL they can do that because there's fanny mae so basically all real estate in USA is guaranteed and owned by government LOLI love my US dollar privilege  LOL imagine if other countries can print US dollars, every country would have a 2% interest rate.
