Once you find possible candidates you will want to research a bit to identify if the seller is motivated to sell.A home listed for rent several months by an out-of-state landlord quite likely will be a motivated seller.Networking can help in finding motivated sellers as well.

My company works specifically in those General Development Communities throughout the state.

Even though I'm only a bookkeeper for a realty office, I've been able to develop an appreciation for the work that goes into the sales side of the office just by reading the conversations.

Are you suggesting I engage or develop a relationship with a buyer's agent on deals or to bring me deals s/he discovers or are you suggesting developing relationships with seller's agents to let you know when they have something for sale that might be of interest?

Another option is, if you have cash some developers need it to back their developments, and contract you a return based on what you put in.

The only builder that I know that is building modern homes in the DFW area is Kessler Woods development in Oak Cliff.

i had a local developer look at the lot and write up a report on it.

I have direct contact with the administrations of Newark, Irvington, East Orange, Orange and Trenton, New Jersey where major developments are underway and being proposed.

I worked out a deal where I would put the seller and buyer together for a small fee directly with the owner prioor to this development.
