I've also identified the PERFECT piece of land, but have been very unsuccessful at contacting the current owner. 

I generally identify 5-10 properties a week that could be good flips and send them out, along with comps to support my ARV estimate, to my Baltimore area investor clients.  

Hi BP Community,I'm in the learning mode and seeking thoughts, questions, or feedback on a potential wholesale deal that I've identified.

@Nirbhik Modi I like to answer this question using data, and I have built a system to do automatically identify areas that have the highest rental returns at the lowest risk.My team built a system to model rents using machine learning based on comps, location, and local economic strength.

Instead they analyze the situation and identify each of the roadblocks standing between them and success, and then formulate a plan to get past each and every one of the obstacles in their path.The easiest way to break into real estate is to start saving now while you still live at home and have no bills (or extremely few). 

We could buy into NNN (a couple good single tenant or one MT strip) with stable cash flow about 50% more than our current situation: This option gets us from our current $8k/m up to $12.5k/m or so right away, with the possibility for modest equity appreciation.We've also identified an off-market lease-up storage facility with big medium-term upside (break even cash flow for YR 1, $5k/m YR 2, $13k/m YR 3, $15k/m YR 4; we could cash flow better the first couple of years with interest only terms, which we could probably get). 

It's come up multiple times in discussions around demographic patterns and migratory shifts.

Identify your market, create content specifically for your audience, and you'll become a recognized name pretty quickly.As a real estate agent, your personal brand is your biggest asset.

There are many hurdles to consider and its better to identify and understand them now than after you purchase the site.The process would be to have an Architect put together a feasibility study to determine what can be built based upon the properties zoning and your desired use.
