Heh heh, Whoever surveyed the lot back in the day, marked it and the land was "appropriated" from the lot next door.

Putting some of your $300k toward surveys, engineering, and permits to get the property entitled could bump the value significantly without taking on construction risk.If you want to go bigger, a joint venture with a developer lets you bring the land and some capital while they handle the build, giving you a share of those $1.2M–$1.5M sales.

When you show up to mow, survey the properties for those evil poos - pictures, document the # of poos, and charge the tenant based on the size & number of poos correlating to their animal.

In fact, a recent survey shows agents reported only 1 in 5 homes (20%) nationally received multiple offers in June 2025.That’s down from nearly 1 in 3 (31%) just a year ago – and dramatically lower than in June 2023 (39%) (see graph below):This trend means you should face less competition when you buy.

The site has been surveyed and engineering is being completed now with the hopes of starting construction in the Spring.Current challenges involve acquiring access (either easement or purchase) of another piece of property so that I am able to extend utilities onto the property - 210' to the main water & sewer lines. 

Seek proper realtor services, do growth potential surveys, visit different localities.

We do a short survey with prospective tenant's just to learn at a high-level if they would even have a chance of being approved and get an image of their driver's license - as we employ a self-showing system for them to tour the property on their own.

Rental rate surveys should be performed at least annually, and more frequently if there are vacancies or lease renewals.Do they put contractual escalators in the lease?

I can assure you that all surveys, permits, etc. have been scheduled with a timely manner & are in progress. 

To put it not so nicely, the government data is ****ing wrong, their collection methods are lazy and often survey based with plenty of assumptions.
