Buying Land in Florida

[Andrea W.]

I am interested in buying (probably rural) land in (central) Florida but don't want to pay retail and don't see a lot of land going up for auction. What are some strategies and resources for finding this land? What about farmland? What about large pieces of land with old mobile homes on them?

You could write to sellers. My family owns a small lot in poinciana and we get maybe 5 letter a year. More this past year.
