Wholesaling Texas Lots

[Kyle Geoghagan]

Hello! After some marketing I came across a good amount of vacant lots that owners are willing to sell. Is it a viable option to wholesale vacant lots? If so where could I find buyers for such a thing? Should I check Facebook, Craigslist, etc? Or is there a better place?

I'm a land broker from California, and I'm a wholesaler in Texas, so I have a different perspective on this. Wholesaling land is definitely more time-consuming and difficult since it is harder to find the buyers, without putting it on the MLS. It all depends on the submarket you are working. If it's an area that looks like a checkerboard and people/builders consistently buy lots, then it may be a good area to work. If it's an area where you see builders doing homes all over, then you can try to check with those builders on how much they'll pay for dirt. I'd rather wholesale SFR's than land.
