The issue is, I believe in Tullahoma, the cost to develop land (road, electrical, plumping, etc) will be more expensive than the total revenue from the lots.

We knew we wanted to investment in Puget Sound waterfront and my wife spent hours on Google Maps and driving around to develop a list of cold call applicants.

When I was breaking into the web developer industry, there was plenty of free meetups that I could attend to network with other like minded individuals.

So, my suggestion is to develop a relationship with an insurance broker who is not a computer bot and ask them for some indications. 

Prop. 15 though seems quite necessary to me although maybe also not the best solution.The state has two related problems that need to be solved:1) California has developed unsustainably for decades (often through federal government largesse), overbuilding public infrastructure such as highways and sewer/water lines.

Also, what techniques would you use to see if the flip was actually done properly and professionally and that corners were not cut that can be costly in the future?  

I have found that tenants with horses or cows move less than people renting a single family or multi-family home.I did really well with that years ago on a 10 acre parcel that I held until sewer became available and sold it to a developer.

At any rate, I see developers and investors actively working on other homes on that street now.

As a couple composed of a city planner/R.E. agent and civil engineer we are knowledgeable in the process and requirements for new development (whether it be residential or commercial) and selling/buying real estate.

Just saw a post from CBS17 of the plans that Raleigh city officials have for developing Midtown.
