Hey BP!

Anyone have any good suggestions to finding vacant land/lots for developing? Any off-market ideas?

Thank you!

Hello @Jim Roche!

I have done thousands of deals since 1999 buying and selling vacant land, so I definitely understand where you're coming from.

I find a target area and criteria, and then source my data from CoreLogic (a division of First American Title). Then I use mailers to hit these areas.

I wish you all the best finding vacant lots!
