I'm looking to become an expert in finding infill lots to build on

I'm a builder in Charlotte NC area and have been building 1300-1400 sq ft homes for the past 3 years. I've gotten the current infill lots by word of mouth, wholesalers, and people coming up to the build site asking if we'd like to buy their lots. These are great ways to find deals but its not enough. I need a more reliable way to find infill land to build our homes. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.  The goal is to be an expert in the space. Please let me know... Thanks!

Tommy,

Check out PropWire - https://propwire.com/search

It's a free data source and you can pull a list of vacant lots by zip code, county, city, etc. Export your list and skip trace in the platform or elsewhere. Have a VA call your list and try to find folks willing to sell.

I'm not doing this for land, but it's generally what I'm doing with other properties I'm interested in.

    Use the lookup function.  Look for someone pulling GIS data

    Tell them the town or zip code your interested in.   Then give them your specs.

    Then use this as your hit list and start making 3 offers a week subject to.

     Sorry for the delayed response. Do you work with infill lots or small infill developments? I'm looking for 3-5 acres + to build single family developments. Let me know. Thx

     I'm also a realtor and I've set up an auto search for land. I've not found any land this way but I appreciate the offer.

     Do you have a buyers box for any areas? I'm experienced in acquisitions. I'd love to find you deeply discounted properties
