Post: County site vs MLS for Pleasant Grove

Looking for someone who has completed a deal in Pleasant Grove in 2016.
The DCAD and online prices (trulia, redfin, Zillow) for properties in Pleasant Grove are so different, about a $30-40k difference in many cases. I know DCAD is "value" as opposed to list price but What should I make of this disparity?
Has anyone completed a deal on single family homes in PG recently? Either fix and flip or buy and hold.... As you know, real disparities can be great In PG from street to street, even house to house, and I am unsure on my next move.
My problem: I see a few lots under $10k in my target area but not sure of the surrounding retail prices. My plan is to buy the lot with cash, finance construction and sell. My uncle, the builder, is very successful and experienced in this method of investing and I look to him for guidance.
Any tips?

I am 25 with no kids and wife. Building my savings and increasing my FICO. Plan to complete a wholesale by January 2017 and buy a cheap property for myself to househack by July 2017.
My full time job in the IT field pays well, permits the autonomy to study and browse the market. Most of my time goes towards watching youtube videos, following my mentors who range from agents to brokers, and cold call.
I want to eventually fully commit myself (leave my 9-5pm) by 2018. Dallas is booming and I want to be a part of the area's growth.
