Drive around and find anyone building in the area, stop and ask if they need more building lots and how much they would give for one describe your lot dont give address if it still seems like a good deal and builders will pay more then you can buy buy it for then go for it!

There is much to discover in just driving the streets when you pick a an area to explor. 

Meals are allowed as a travel expense, but you can't deduct lunches when you are driving between properties.

Finally, if this is viable I could see us driving around looking for abandoned properties in a driving-for-dollars scenario too, particularly if I can find the right partner.  

Anyways, have to hang up now and continue to drive to our vacation destination.

Be careful with things you do that are more than a 2 hour drive.

Buy a $3,000 beater and drive that around and focus on buying a house or two to get started.

If you have the drive and determination to succeed - you will!

I think the question comes down to if you can sustain the property or not.

I would highly highly recommend that you start within an "easy" drive of your home.
