Im located in Phx,Az and its common here to still see empty dirt land in prime areas of city, as an example, my father who knows next to nothing about real estate purchased a 7k sqft gated dirt land  in the city 3yrs ago for $35k cash, was planning to invest in it but it was too much hassle for him so recently he sold it for $140k .What's a good way to find good deals on empty dirt land  in the city or close by, does mls offer this search option.

Anyone who's been around a bit has completely fumbled more deals and calls than you've made...which is why the fumble less now.

I would do a conventional/FHA househack strategy for your first deal, and then start to get into non-owneroccupied deals afterwards. 

Please feel free to DM me if you need further assistance or if you would just like to discuss!

I get sent fractured condo deals all the time that are located in Lauderdale Lakes.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I primarily wholesale land virtually and have successfully closed nine deals since August 2023. 

Excellent deal for the minority partners (zero cash contribution) but a low ROI even accounting for tax savings of $24k/yr on a $500k cash investment.

After I refinanced the house I walked away with 5k in my pocket and $0 left in the deal.

We got $50 per month as well on our deal
