If they're not, it's a long and involved (and expensive) process.Most often, the larger parcels will be developed into graded lots by one of the regional development companies, then sold to regional builders to construct and sell the finished homes (and potential commercial components).Smaller developers (like myself) can take on the smaller parcels (say, 10's of acres) that are too small for the regional companies to touch - there's an opportunity for your client to partner there and capture more of the profit stack if s/he's interested.Regardless, there's plenty of brokers who work in the space and broker between land owners and developers for owners who aren't familiar with the business. 

Hi BP,Excited to finally be signed up for BP Pro, finishing up 'The Book on Flipping Houses' and have been on the hunt for a couple months now for a great first opportunity!

I self raised my initial seed capital, but did have the opportunity to approach many VCs for the funding early on.

Why wouldn't they believe this is their opportunity to make even more out of you?

I also own a business that nets $500k+ annually, and the nature of the business has little to no opportunity for deprecation and amortization so I'm stroking a $250k+ check to the IRS every year.

@Rick Delgado,There  are a lot of opportunities there!

If he lacks experience and wants a passive opportunity, he should consider hard money lending or investing with a syndication team that buys value-add commercial multi-family.

I do not have the full 80,000 to front right now but I don't want the opportunity to slip out of my hands!

I'm only here temporarily, less than 1 year, but I think it would be a good opportunity to get my feet wet on a property <$100k.

This screams opportunity to me.
