how can i find out the best location in the country to open a neighborhood?

Open a neighborhood? Do you mean "develop land"?  You should start by reading a book about real estate, but more specifically, about residential land development, so that you use  the correct terminology to prevent others from laughing at you for being naive.

It depends where you are. Location is everything in real estate and retail. If you need estimates for your local area, contact your regional building authority or your local chamber of commerce, who can guide you to the proper source.

Here is a good link that you can input your zipcode to get a general idea of things\n\nhttp://www.moving.com/Find_a_Place/Cityprofile/

The best place is a process of elimination ....\n\nFirst, no family. Moving to a place that is at least a one days drive away from the closest family generally keeps them out of your business.\n\nSecond, no friends. Who did you go to school with and where did they move to? Stay away from those places, because an old reputation that you do not deserve anymore may pop up at the most inappropriate time, ruining your fresh start.\n\nThird, no bad climate. Determine what you like in your environment, cold, wet, dry, hot, whatever, and avoid the areas of the map that do not have those characteristics. If you are going to start fresh, you might as well start comfortable, right?\n\nAfter all that, you should be able to find a general area that you might like. Then it is time to research those areas that are left to see where you want to end up.\n\nGood luck to you.

There is a terrific resource called "score" which has a local office. They can guide you. Their staff is mostly volunteer, and they are retired folks who assist people with aspirations like yours, perhaps even aligning you with a previous restaurant owner. Contact me if you need a real estate agent!

That depends on where you are wanting to find this Condo.  Are you wanting to be in the vacinity of a major city. Or are you literally wanting to be in the middle of nowhere? Do want to be able to hunt?  I am an agent and would love to help you my work email address is cstump@divinehomes.net.  I live in the midwest.  But I could help you find something just about anywhere!

First have a lot of money, second have a ton of patience, and third have the right spot &#92; location.  After all those are in check you can start the process at your local government offices...get ready for a rude welcoming...

Everybody looks.\nFind a distressed property that can be fixed up.\nLook for a location that will improve in the future. Something inside a city that cannot expand outward. I just tripled my money in 5 years. Florida is hot now.

Go to www.switchboard.com and find your nearest 5 real estate agencies.  Call them up and ask them who in that office deals with the most real estate LAND purchases.  tell them what you have (how much land, is it buildable, etc) and ask them to send you "comps" on land just like yours in your area.  Comps (it stands for comparables) will tell you how much land SOLD FOR in the past "x" amount of time and "y" distance from your land.\nNow - take as many SOLD pieces of land that has sold in the past 6 months (longer if you have to) in a close vicinity of yours (I like to use less than a half mile)...  Land is more difficult than houses, but it is still entirely possible.  take as many honest comps (you'll have to sort out the ones the realtor gives you) as you can and eliminate the highest sold amount and lowest sold amount.  Average the rest...  This should give you the best-guess at market value...\n\nBe careful - Don't use the realtor's current listings that are still on the market.  these "asking prices" mean nothing to you.  Only concentrate on how much similar land SOLD for in your area...  you'll get a real good idea of what you can get for your land!!\n\nGood Luck!\n\nA coupl

To get started, look on www.realtor.com, and put in your price range, etc. and it will show you pictures. You may be able to get some idea of the neighborhoods from this--it's a great website. This is not spam, by the way; I used this website a lot when I was moving around upstate NY.

Depending where you live you might consider your city offices for any building permits or property records. Also consider county offices and archives. You would probably start with previous tax records, building records or other property records. Maybe tax assesments from the county recorder might tip you. Overall, I think by starting in your city first they might also be able to point you in the right direction.
