If its a privately owned plot of land all you have to do is go to the recorder of deeds in your area. From there you can research each past owner. I've done it and its lots of fun! For a public area just go to your local historical society.

We have lived in South Dakota and Iowa.  You can get really nice houses for a great price.  My parents just sold their nice 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, huge walk-in closets, beautiful woodwork, hardwood floor home for $80,000!!!  They refinished all the floors, and did tons of work on it.  It was gorgeous, and I don't know where else you could find a house like that for such an amazing price.  That was near Yankton, South Dakota.

i am in AZ and local law and custom will prevail.  what you have is adverse possession.  these things are controlled by time frames such as to close the Ingres/egress off it needs to be open and notorious and done like for 24 hours every 7 years.  there should be a time frame in the 7 to 10 year range that they would have had to close off physical access.  physical access is different then legal access.  most areas require physical access to all lots.  your best bet is to contact first a local real estate broker who specializes in land not in houses, it will be under commercial real estate in the phone book. he can answer most questions. but you will be in court to get it done, and the real estate guy will know the right lawyer.  this is a highly technical area of law make sure you get someone who does this for a living, a divorce lawyer will not be much good

Every town has its own zoning code.  You need to contact the Zoning Dept. at your town hall and they will tell you what R2 means. R2 could mean 2 family houses, or 2 houses per acre, or something else.

Yes you can.  I guess you've read Rich Dad Poor Dad.  Great but he doesn't tell you HOW.  It is something I have been trying to figure out for years.  I got the answer a few months ago by my brother showing me.  It is amazingly simple.  All It takes is confidence and thinking big and clarity of mind.  The more you try to figure it the more pieces fall into place.\n\nSo I guess you want to know how?  Ok I will tell you - I'll email my bank account number to you and when you make your first million which you can do within a year - you deposit me 20%, ok?\nlol - only joking - happy to help out.  Ask youreself what you will do with al the $$ though.  If you don't have a goal for the $$ it will end up destroying you when you have lots.  Just a bit of philosophy - take it to heart because you will have plenty $$.  \n\nTake this 'formula' or principle and apply it to whatever is available, it is flexible.  Apply your mind.\nOk here goes:\n\nRemember confidence and think big.\n\nFind a large property in a good area of your city/town that is for sale.  The suburbs is a good place to start, find out from real estate agents which is the fastest growing area.  Go to the dge of that where serious development hasn't started yet.  A few miles is fine, the expansion will catch you.  Once you have found a suitable site, look around and don't be disheartened if the first few are not spot on.  You will be gaining experience with each site you look at.  The site should be large enough to subdivide into smaller erven (erfs) (plots). There will be minimum size zoning allowed in specific areas.\n\nI am assuming here that you know a bit about the property development lingo (of your country).  If not do a bit of research by visiting your local (authority) municipality.\n\nOnce you have found a suitable site that can be subdivided say into 10 plots.  Heres the crux!\nLet's say the seller wants 1mill (theoretical amounts - whatever is going in your area and currency counts) for the property go to him and tell him you will give them 1.5mill if they go into a joint venture with you.  They will.  Then what you do is get the plans for the property from your local authority.  Divide the property up into plots, use a landscape architect if neccessary, or do it youreslf.  Get this development approved by your local authority.  Again you will gain experience as you go.   Once the plans have been approved for rezoning to residential size plots.  This may take some time (find out names at the local authority and hound them, it will move faster) Then what you do is put the plots onto the market at residential prices (per square meter).  Exorbitantly more than the original large piece of ground.  As this is an expanding area they will be sold loke quickly.  You give the original seller his 1.5mill and pocket the difference.  Usually a hell of a lot of money.\n\nAs simple as that.  Hardly cost you a cent.  You used someone elses money and walked away with the finances to do the next project youreself.\n\nWhere you might have to put in money is for the drawing up of the plans, advertising and if you do a cluster dvelopment you should put a wall around the site (expensive) to sell it a concept (helps sell quicker and for more).  For these costs you go to your bank and borrow the money using the large property as collateral. Remember the original seller and you are ina joint venture so you can do this (set up a cc if neccessary).  \n\nThat is the jist of it.   It is actually so simple.  This is a general plan, it can be applied to many situations.  It is a pretty hectic concept to try to get across in so many words.  If I have left anything out apply your mind and fill in the gaps.\n\nGo for it, believe in yourself and the world is yours.\nGood luck.

Hmmmmm.  You should go down to Mexico and build a small resort in Baja maybe half way down.  Nothing big .... just enough for maybe a half dozen travelers.  That would be really cool...obviously you never could own the land but I'm sure it would be a worthwhile endeavor.

You need enough land to build the industry

Inside the city limits there is a regulation as to how many you are allowed to own.  This is mostly to prevent cock-fighting.  Do not recall the number.  Not hard to find out.  Call the city zoning committee.  Probably would be best to call from somewhere other than home or block your number so it does not come up on caller id.  Oh, and don't give them your address.

to put it into some sort of perspective, one square mile of land is 640 acres.   my grandmother, having similar ideas, in 1919 bought 20 acres and right away put half of it up for sale at exactly what she paid for the whole thing.  it took a few years but someone finally did buy the other half.  even with 10 acres it never felt cramped.  it sounds like you may need a bit more so at 50 acres you might be about on the mark.  i've never been shy about overbuying so if you can get it at what you think is a good price, go for the 100 and if you decide later it's too much, you can sell part but then you may find it's just right.  if you buy too small, you will be probably kicking yourself later.

First thing is MAKE IT DIFFERENT. There are far too many subdivisions that all look the same. Secondly, since it is small you must target a niche section of the market and design and sell it on that basis.  Planning permission and various government regulations pertaining to your plans can easily be obtained from the City Hall in whatever area you choose to put the subdivision....but that's the easy part. The hard part is to come up with something unique or you'll lose your pants!

Couldn't find any for taxes, but there's a HUD house at 224 Lawton for $35,000.  That's pretty cheap.  Bid deadline is tomorrow.
