I was looking at the Los Angeles county accessor web site of some land that recently sold for $5,000 to $7,000.. how do i find land to buy so I can build house on it.. is there a MLS for buying land from the city? 

(If you google realtors or call one from signage/etc you're more likely to get one who is in higher production and already has listings and money for web advertising and they may be too busy to go door knocking, that's why going to the local office will be best if you want someone else to do that part.)     

Most really experienced agents of +10 years are degenerate gambling drunks and shouldn’t be trusted.

I've found Edina Realty's web site pretty decent as well.

Our general model for investing at this moment is primarily urban core because there's limited supply for the folks who want to live there, whereas there are tons and tons of new construction all over the Jax suburbs...making it a bit more of a gamble imo. 

Personally I like to mail directly to homeowners so I do ListSource. zBuyer is much different, their lists are online web form submission from craigslist and other place.

-Now surely this cycle will ride itself out over the longer term but for those looking to acquire property in the now and plan on a value add component,  its almost gambling on the future refinance...not the position most are comfortable being in with millions of dollars involved.I have been running properties through the syndicated deal analyzer and other DSCR spreadsheets only to find inadequate COC, cash flow, AAR, you name it! 

Tmax it will pop up the info for the person called so you know who you are talking to and have all their info on the T-Max CRM then I have it linked to my sales CRM and it will pull the account up on most web-based CRMs.

We do a lot of direct web sales.

REMAX Surfside has an excellent web site for research.
