What are you asking exactly? Try and use spell check.  Are you looking at becoming a developer? Do you want to sell this type of property?  You need a real estate license to start. Then you need to work with a commercial broker. But if you are looking on buying property and developing it as well as building it. All you need is Money not Love. You will need to be an architect but you can hire those and a building contractor. You need to develop a liaison with the county and the city. You need to have a piece of land commercially zoned for that usage. You need to have a plan to develop it before you buy the land and it has to be approved by the city and county.

If you have it planned, then it can be pretty easy according to me to establish a town. You need a large portion of land and an army of architects and engineer, to make the place more adaptable for human occupation. You have to be aware of criticism from environmentalists and social workers also.

It's been done before.  As absurd as it sounds, it ocassionally happens.  Usually it's a run down building owned by a municipality that costs more to upkeep and maintain than the value of the property itself, so the city sells it to an investor or 'someone else' for a dollar, with linking agreements that the new owner develop the property into a profitable, viable acquisition that results in taxes paid to the city, etc.  Each side gets something out of it.

You should state what town or county it is in and how much you are asking for.  Just a thought.

Generally it really takes one or the other. Also buying land is even a little trickier than buying a house. Its tough to get land financed since there is really nothing used as collateral. So usually it requires a bigger down payment. Having said that some other options might be to check out your local courthouse and find out if there are any tax sales in areas you might consider. These properties are behind on taxes and get auctioned off to the highest bidder for usually significantly less than market value. Also drive around and inquire about run-down properties, research owners, or find buy-owner properties. Working with an individual person might get you a deal you can handle. But try to save up for a down payment because without good credit, money is the only talker left.

Lease the land if you want an immediate begin to profits. Otherwise, depending on the economic development of the area, it may be best to just keep the land cleared and wait. It's value may increase greatly and you can then sell. The best thing would be to talk to a real estate developer.

what is the difference between town and city\nsounds like a city can be a town as well\nthough a town is not necessarily a city\n?????\n\nhttp://www.answers.com/topic/town\nA civil and political subdivision of a state, which varies in size and significance according to location but is ordinarily a division of a county.\n\nA town, which is a type of municipal corporation, can be formed by a state legislature when a large number of dwellings have concentrated in a particular location. A town is a creation of the state, designed and authorized to perform certain governmental functions on the local level. Its main purpose is to exercise the power of the state to promote greater prosperity, safety, convenience, health, and the common good of the general community.\n\nThe terms township and town are frequently used interchangeably in certain geographic locations, although in some parts of the United States the term township denotes a group of several towns.\n\nSince towns can be formed only from contiguous territory, tracts of land that are entirely separate cannot be included in a town. Subject to constitutional restrictions, ordinarily, the state legislature has full power to create, enlarge, diminish, consolidate, and otherwise alter the boundaries of towns without the consent of those affected.\n\n\ntown\nnoun\n      A large and important town: city, metropolis, municipality. Informal burg.

It really depends on the area. Usually it will cost less if you buy the land, but not always the case.\n\nFor instance, in Orland you could get about twice the size of house if you bought the land and built the house. The reason was they were not being built inside of a community and the builders were not adding to the cost of the land to make more money.\n\nJust be careful and make sure to get a really good contractor to take care of everything for you.

The best way to go about is starting with single family homes or duplexs.  You'll get a taste of being a landlord.  With apartments it can be tricky.  Also, think about liquidity.  Apartment buildings are much more difficult to sell.  \n\nOnce you've established yourself with duplex's and houses then think monopoly.  Trade them in for the apartment complex. Good luck

Well...you need capital (money) to start with so you can start buying properties. \n\nYou buy properties (real estate) and you sell them for more than you paid for them. You might want to learn your local real estate laws and maybe even get licensed as a realtor.

you need to have the land\nfinanciers will take a mortgage on the land - this includes anything "attached" now or in the future to the land\nwhen they pay out the loan - it is done in stages according to how far the building has been completed.\nfirst step - assuming you own the land (with or without borrowing)\ntalk to a financier and to a builder to see if you can borrow enough to build what you want
