@Mike Alder  good luck I grew up in the business.. must watch movie for any land man is Glenn Garry Glen ross... you will see how all these lots you want to buy were created in the first place.land game dates back to just after the turn of the century  ( not 2000) when promoters went through the US creating mega subdivisions prior to any state or federal land development rules.. so you have all these old tracks and the parcels have been traded for 100 plus years.. lost at tax sale bought by someone like you or my dad.. resold on terms  those folks default or lose to tax's and the cycle repeats.Florida created massive subdivisions to attract residence's since no one wanted to live in swamps and such.. think Le High and Coral Gables..  

Someone that either currently owns investment RE (irrespective of location), and/or that is actively engaged in the pursuit of more REI (in this case, buying in your market).

Ethan is very active in the Athens market and may be in a position to assist you. 

While I invested in my first SFR to start with, after that, I've been able to 'remain' active in the game through other methods - by delivering value.I've been able to create two partnerships while in Korea with people I've met through BiggerPockets.
