So can go into a neighborhood's GIS system and look up what the individual parcels are assessed at and omit the building (also referred to as improvements), typically the real value of nearby parcels is somewhere between 50% and 75% of what the county claims; example: if the Fredericksburg GIS system claims that a certain house's land is assessed at 50K then your investor should NOT buy it at more than 37,500 at the VERY most.One MAJOR point to take into consideration is: an investor that you will help buying a parcel of land is an investor that will have less money to make future purchases.Good luck, and fee free to shoot me any questions as I'm very familiar with the Fredericksburg area and won't hesitate landing a helping hand to fellow BP.

Many of my interests spawned from finding ways to save money.
