I would emphasize that making targeted improvements with the help of state incentive programs (like Mass Save here in MA) can cut efficiency improvement costs by thousands of dollars.

So, they may occasionally be able to bring a target purchase but more often be able to help find buyers – or even take the parcel themselves at at a reasonable discount to FMV and build a house on the land.It feels a bit like setting up an entity per deal might be the right way to go – albeit might be inefficient; maybe take too much time and has more costs involved.

A typical retail buyer wouldn't buy it anyway with the work that needs done, so that means an investor would be your target market.

If I send out 50 letters per week, what category of people do I target to get the biggest bang for my buck? 

If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.

I've built a nice buy and hold business by using targeted direct mail and or cold-contacting owners of off-market property.

Again it will vary by city and state.A new construction loan shouldn't be any different.If you are looking to be an investor the first thing you need to find is your target area.Next is location. 

If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.Seeya around! 

I'm guessing you're looking nationally, so I'd ask/look around here and by googling your target cities for turnkey providers.

I heard probate was a great target market but didn't want to jump right in without enough experience in case i had to explain that i'm not chasing hearses trying to make a quick buck
