@ Nathan Sharp, your retrospective assessment serves you well.Kudos to you and your agent/life partner- well done!

If you have done your homework on a property and its a good deal you should be able to assign it, even listing it here in the market place. 

I'll recommend you to indeed post your analysis on the forum so you can share your own assessment and get feedback from BP members.

Because the tax assessment for two lots will be higher than one large lot, both will be marketable at a much higher value than one lot with excess land.Generally too, the owner must make the application or an interested party or representative of either (attorney) but you should be able to do this yourself.After the minor subdivision has been drawn, you can contract for that parcel as will be described, subject to approval.

I think the legit wholesaler provides a very valuable service in an inefficient market place.

Depending on your market area, this could be a great target.If you are in a super-competitive marketplace, these guys might already be getting dozens of offers.

@Xavier Wilson, you can list on Zillow or FB Marketplace. 

You HAVE to research the seller, the broker selling you the deal, the property manager taking over after purchase, vendors, and everybody else in the deal, there's too many fly-by-night folks in today's marketplace.

Don't get me wrong I advertise all over Craiglist, Rentals.com, GoSection8.com, Facebook Market Place and Apartments.com.

Assess your sophistication level in all things financial and then talk with a good CPA or financial advisor do not take advice on the internet LOL  that would be one thing for someone with a million in cash to consider.Real estate is simply one of many options to invest in..
