I had a project of 3 homes on a 50X 120 lot that ran street to street on the back street I could do off street parking next to the house but no garage I wanted to go underneath the duplex on teh other street and that was not allow parking had to be ON the street.. you know planners everyone will want to ride their bike or take a bus to work.

The leads you’re getting are probably tire-kickers or just early planners testing the waters.

As always, consult a tax professional / financial planner. 

Here are a few strategies that have worked well for finding deals and buyers:**Finding Deals:**- Driving for dollars is a classic - look for boarded-up windows, overgrown yards, and code violation signs- PropStream and BatchLeads can help you pull targeted lists (pre-foreclosure, absentee owners, tax delinquent)- Direct mail still works, but you need volume and consistency - don't give up after one campaign- Networking with probate attorneys and estate planners can get you access to motivated sellers before anyone else**Finding Buyers:**- Go to local REIA meetings and introduce yourself - cash buyers are always looking for good deals- Build a buyers list by offering free market reports for your target area- Check who's buying in your market via public records or PropertyRadar- Facebook groups for local real estate investors can also be goldThe key is that once you have a truly good deal at the right price, buyers come out of the woodwork.

- Do you hire a Financial Planner and then make your own trades?

In either case, your first step would be to align yourself with industry experts, such as a good civil engineer, land planner, surveyor, etc.

@Steve S.I recommend finding a financial planner who specializes in working with real estate investors.

The senior planner basically told me that I had the right idea, but that the city wasn't set up for it.

Planners will often tell you the political reality.4.
