I am even working on a transaction where we may build a public park on the land and hold it waiting for the neighborhood to improve.

Vacant land that is for sale in Orange County for residential housing is a rarity.

., a wrap or land contract?

And real estate has more than it's share of prophets, all of whom for a fee will lead you to the Promised Land.

This building sits on 1 acre and a 2 acre lot 2 parcels over just closed for $995,000.00 just for the land.

They will need to know about zoning, air rights and recent comps for land that sold, development and price per square foot for development and so on.

So I picked the "retirement" fund and basically let someone else manage it.I want to know everything there is to know about subject to, land contracts, land trusts, etc.

I wouldnt recommend the DIY kits as I'd want the warranty offered by the specialty guys.Ive run into numerous scenerios where the tile surround was done fairly recently and in excellent shape, and the fixture had been replaced at that time as well, so there was no ready excuse to rip out tub and replace.

Looks like you're trying to get into land lording.

If you are looking for the easiest way to acquire the property, I would just tell your brother to sell it to you on a land contract. that sure beats going to a bank.
