I managed the property profile by optimizing for enhanced visibility. 

A good way to crush the 1% rule in a market that doesn't offer too much of that, but you are basically writing the property off after however long you plan to implement the strategy for. 

The way many buyers get to larger apartment buildings is by being GP in a syndication.  

Your $1,200 ask may be fair for your market and property, especially if supported by comps, but they might not approve it if the tenant cannot afford it.

Hello Laura,I have actively purchased land that I identified for the last 10+ years.The easiest way to find out if the land is for sale is to talk to the owner directly.You can use tools such as Whitepages.com surprisingly they have over 90% of people's cell numbers.If you can't get the owner on the phone, I would send them a letter asking them if they want to sell, I have seen other people use actual contract offers that they send out to the owner trying to purchase the property.I would not share my concept unless its some sort of Charity that you are either seeking a partner or donation for.I haven't used PropStream, However one really good tool is called Land Glide, its and app on your phone, and you can look at the parcel makes in real time, and also see the owner info and for each parcel.Hope this helps,Dustin
