How to find land for flex space development online

Time is money, and learning to efficiently utilize your time is critical in the real estate industry. Looking for land online can save you time and tailor your search to your specific development needs.

‍

At minimum, I spend 30 minutes day scouring the internet for potential land deals, even if I’m not in the market to buy. This gives me an upper hand in many ways. I stay up to date on the current market prices, trends, and conditions so when I am interested in buying or selling, I’m already caught up. Searching online also allows me to filter the criteria to meet the requirements I’m looking for. I can narrow down searches to specific towns, cities, and counties. The last, and perhaps the most beneficial feature of searching online, is that many land parcels have broker packets available. Broker packets provide a load of essential information about the land parcel like surveys, zoning information, size, etc. That information can be used to understand the land parcel and surrounding areas.

‍

Of course, there are some downfalls of searching online. Listed properties or land parcel are sometimes ones that didn’t sell through the broker directly. Brokers can also list land with the intention of selling it to existing investors rather than new investors. In my opinion, the most unique finds will be through a broker or drive by.

‍

So how do you find land online? The answer is surprisingly simple. There are many websites where you can online shop for land. Heres a list of a few that I use:

‍

• LoopNet - The most popular one
• PropStream - Good for off market deals
• Costar - Used by many professional brokers, Paid subscription based
• Crexi - Less popular but worth using
• Facebook - My personal favorite
