the whole parcel of land (82 acres) was purchased from a mobile home park that it was next to. Half the land is wetlands and can not be developed. This is in manatee county Florida, Bradenton is the largest city in that county. I live in Sarasota 15 miles south. The land is zoned A-1 (agricultural) and I am doing a straight rezone to RSF-2 (15,000 sqft lots min) for a major subdivision. This has been a lot of work but now it is like second nature. I can look at any piece of undeveloped property and see the residential potential (sound like something OJ's lawyer would say).
The lots will be going for 80-93K, which is far below the average for this area, I have to do this in order to sell them quickly, I do not have the time to just sit on them and wait. With the profits safely hidden in Phase II, I will control the building of homes not just the lot sales.
Next year will be very good to me.
