If you don't have access to MLS, go to redfin, filter on recently sold, type in your zip code, search and then adjust sold within last "month, 3 months, year" etc.

If you don't have MLS access, I'd recommend accessing the County CAD.

Hoping this helps open your options, but if you do insist on putting the 20% down you can go get a HELOC to access some of the tied up cash. 

You may not cash flow very much, if at all but you are living for close to nothing while at the same time having tenants pay down your mortgage, increasing your net worth, accessing additional tax benefits and hopefully gain some appreciation.Starting at such a young age would be amazing for your long-term financial future and will set you up very well. 

Have you contacted the city/county to make sure you can subdivide and that improvements can be tapped and roads accessed?

Still, you are usually dealing with someone that is smoking weed in the parking lot on their break so, they may not have the same sense of urgency that you have.If you have access to counsel, have your counsel contact their counsel.

Scaling up to me leads to success.I am in your same position,and I joined one of the big education REI groups.Starting out FB adds,Craigslist adds and bandit signs can help you scale up.Eventually building a team that includes an acquisition manager to bring in qualify and accept leads for your business.I have a CRM and access to send post cards or yellow letters to different situations.I have targeted pre foreclosures,out of town owners,etc.Always have a sign in your current projects too,people are curious some of my best referrals have been through my own projects neighbors.You have to do some research to see what works in your local market.Keep up with what is working and what is not.KPI.Scale up at your pace,you are successful!

@Jacques Edouard Dessejour LapierreThe appraiser is going to have access to MLS sales and other data.  

If you have a US-based phone number you should be able to get your VA access with google voice? 

MY QUESTION to the forum is, my goal is to start another hearing practice outside my county (since I now have a non-compete with the practice I sold) but want to utilize my new real estate license in order to have better access to find investment properties.
