I am currently acquiring, typically from foreclosing banks, finished residential lots in "busted " subdivisions in CA, NV and AZ. The foreclosing banks are pricing these deals at about 10-15% of the price of new houses that can be sold TODAY; when typically finished lots are worth 25-35% of the house price. So that a builder can now build a new house on the lot and do very, very well. I'm looking for iinvestors for these deals, as well as deals themselves. Typical deal size is $1mm to $5MM. Many finished lots also come with house inventory as well. Any ideas how I can network on this site?
