Then, you can subtract the cost to build from the average price in the area to get a rough idea on what the land value is.

$750-$800 will land you a solid apartment in Greensboro, you will have to shop around though as the areas in Greensboro are quite mixed!

Otherwise keep looking keep making offers (that make sense even if they seem low-ball) and eventually they will find the right deal or stack up enough money to make the deal work.  

From a viewpoint of maintaining W2 income to qualify for traditional financing I can understand it however when the ball is officially rolling and you have a fair amount of capital in your possession what has prevented you from taking the leap into a more full time and active approach to your investment dealings?

An interest in local government and real estate would help.The developments of empty land into subdivisions that I've worked on have involved those area the most.  

This made most land lords adjust rents in line with this.

Like base ball 3 strikes and they are out.

@Aimee Knier Here in Portland you’d probably land yourself straight into a lawsuit that would claim you threatened the tenant using intimidation and fear mongering.

Should I make a low ball offer?

Any suggestions for a land development loan in Austin TX?
