I reached out to the seller’s agent and he agreed to represent both of us .

I highly recommend you reach out to @Raymond J.

Feel free to reach out if you are looking around up here, 20k lots do come up in well traveled tourist areas from time to time. 

If you want to run the terms by me, feel free to reach out directly.

Also, it may be helpful for you to attend county foreclosure auctions to network and learn.If I can be of any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out!

I spoke with this bank today and plan to reach out to other banks tomorrow, but wanted any insights from you all here if possible.
