Not sure what the demand drivers are. 

MD/VA licensees are common, having a WV license as well as the other 2 isnt that common in the area.

I really like the idea of leveraging local contacts for walkthroughs and feedback.

One more tip hit town homes and condo communities in the area.

Hey @Chris Pratt, I'm also in the LA/SFV area.

The city is also breaking ground on a new arena for the NBA leading OKC Thunder basketball team

basically if anyone has any tips when it comes to researching plots of land in order to make the right purchase i would greatly appreciate it get with a realtor. we underwrite land at no more than 10% of after built value. in our market we build under the average new build value which is about 515k. we like to be around 420-450k and smaller footprint about 1500 sq ft with attached garages. we build close to urban core where everyone wants to live and net migrations match up. but suburban is fine. if you give more context I can help but in most markets land is a buyers market. most people aren't looking at it or buying it. 

You may need the money the day of the sale or even up front in some locations , while you may not get the lien or deed for 30+60 days after the sale. 

@Joshua Karas You're on the right track. 

.: Someone asked me about a Due on Sale suit I was involved in and it reminded me of the many encounters I've had with trying to buy pre-foreclosures and do SubTo.Some of these brutes are big, ugly, scary, mean and volatile.
