Post: Anyone here concentrates in buying/selling empty land

- Posts 101

Im located in Phx,Az and its common here to still see empty dirt land in prime areas of city, as an example, my father who knows next to nothing about real estate purchased a 7k sqft gated dirt land in the city 3yrs ago for $35k cash, was planning to invest in it but it was too much hassle for him so recently he sold it for $140k .
What's a good way to find good deals on empty dirt land in the city or close by, does mls offer this search option. Im guessing this option does better with cash at hand than getting a loan.
Post: How to find whole sale residential homes to sell as is with little to no initial inve

I live in Phx,az and recently friend of mine sold his bank (ex bank of america) literally as is and profiteed $300k , he purchased it right out cash last year (I think) and it was in real bad shape in a shady part of town, before him taking possession of the bank homeless people where living inside it an using the bathroom anywhere in the building, he put maybe less than $5k in just cleaning it up and just a couple of days sold it.
Basically the idea is to find super cheap homes in ****** conditions but the price is so cheap that you could still make profit by selling as is, investing as little as possible..

I would recommend getting your credit score higher than 680 for a conventional mortgage. You might need to do a manual underwrite which could decrease your purchase power. What price ranges are you looking at?
Thanks for the tip, here in AZ prices are still high , im looking at sub $220k . Im getting a lot of advice with going the FHA finance route so that is another option.

I found most of everything for sale in FB market are scams, you would have a field day weeing out the real sellers.
