I look forward to working with Bigger Pockets and developing new business relationships and friends. 

Caution on speculative developing raw land - - you can get burnt real bad.Suggest a marketing plan and presentation that you use to find that Anchor tenant and get them under contract before breaking ground.I'm sure you know the Anchor is the key here and w/o one, it will all wither and languish. 

Then develop your own plan of attack.

Go to my profile page, to the right are my blogs, read "How to develop a good BS Meter" if you are the smartest guy in town, you'll figure it out. 

Develop a process you can trust and follow.

They provide the service pretty much as what you described: find list of properties to be foreclosed, drive the properties and take photos, run preliminary title search to identify other liens, crunch numbers and go over the properties with investors prior to auction.They don't charge anything upfront until you win the bid on the auction.

I hope to develop a tract of land and call it quits from Real Estate and sail off into the sunset with my Family.

Really the easiest method of finding properties for flips is identifying what locations sell on the MLS with a large price spread between a rehabbed home and a non rehabbed home...and Ive give you a few good locations on that.

I began by lending to people who were developing or rehabbing.

You have to develop relationships so you can create and add to your buyers list.
