Best Markets for land flipping? @seth williams can you help?
Hey guys, like many of you, I've listened to Ep 39 of the BG podcast, and am now obsessed with the idea of buying super cheap land and flipping it. Some of you might remember from my other post that my credit isn't so hot so being able to get started in REI with the money I already have is extremely appealing to me, and some of you I bet are in the same boat.
I live in LA but I have family in the Poconos (PA) and in Orlando. I'm wondering if anywhere near these markets might be especially ripe for flipping raw parcels of land?
Secondly, does it even matter if I or someone I know can see the property? Is land typically flipped in absentia completely? Should I pay a photographer off of craigslist to go out and take pictures? Any help you guys can lend me would be so appreciated! Thanks!
