Hi all,I have recently established my land acquisition business with the goal to purchase parcels of land, either within data center opportunity zones or areas with the potential to allow for data center development, rezone the property with submitted plans, then sell to developers ‘shovel-ready’ within the various jurisdictions of the Commonwealth of Virginia.I understand there are multiple mechanisms that come into play including obtaining financing (partnering with an experienced investor), utilizing land-use attorneys, land surveying and engineering firms, appraisers, as well as approval from local planning commissions, board of supervisors, etc.Would there be any investors who are currently active in this niche?

CAP Rate = Net Operating Income / Property Value (Purchase Price).

Hey Catherine,We classify it as a 'Delayed Purchase' and set it at 80% of purchase price. 

I responded to her FSBO ad and made my offer which she happily accepted: a 36 month lease option; I'll bring her mortgage current, (1 month, $800), and continue making the monthly payments; option to purchase price of $88K, (my estimate of value, $100K); and I had the right to buy, sell, sublet, or assign the property at any time during the 36 months.

It's a great town with plenty of opportunities for vacationers that are looking for something more quiet in comparison to east Tennessee, for example.

They talk your ear off about property given half an opportunity.

And I'm only half kidding because keeping your wife happy is priceless, while all tax savings have a price tag.Letting the tax tail wag your entire life is a slippery slope.

The monthly rent to purchase price is typically 0.8 percent.As a first step, I was only looking to be able to find better deals which have a nicer rent to price ratio [once the deal is done, a PM company can pick up from there].

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $35,000 A Bigger Pocket member I met at a local networking event had never invested, but really wanted to.

With current prices and interest rates, you're not cash flowing with LTRs.
