Wholesalers often have properties at below-market prices, and realtors can help you identify potential deals in your target areas.

My son will be helping us with marketing, advertising (if needed), press coverage (if needed) and finding investors / lenders (if needed).

Thanks Hi Erik,There are several private lending products available that can help with thepurchase of vacant land, depending on your situation.

There can be many reasons for failure, and there can be many situations where investors perceive that a failure has occurred when there has not been a failure.I wrote an article for the BiggerPockets blog last week that talked about failures in the context of syndication sponsors that have turned non-responsive...perhaps that's a help. 

I work in Real estate and have broad experience helping expats and investors to find the best properties that suit their needs. 10 years ago, anything you could buy was a great investment, in terms of return, valuation, and resale opportunity. 

We specialize in working with real estate investors, and I’m confident we could help guide you through this transition if you're considering it.Feel free to shoot me a text or email, and we can discuss how to support your goals and get you started on this new path.Best,Matt
