Buying Land? Are you familiar with Real Estate ...? [View all]

Hey there... I have a question for those who may consider themselves in 'the market' for Land. Just recently got a gig to help this man who has lots of parcels for sale, and I am trying to help him with revamping his marketing and strategies.

This is a new thing for me so I was hoping to get some feedback from those who are able to invest, or those who are maybe familiar with 'for sale by owner' land/property. I am trying to understand more so I can do a good job and help this guy get results... (cuz then I could actually secure some 'job security' of sorts, so any links or advice would be appreciated...)

Mostly my questions are about what you look for in a property, how you know someone is legit and what kind of online sources are 'best'...?
also... what about Land as an investment..? are folks really looking for that kind of tangible investment, even if it is undeveloped? Most of these parcels are right on the edge of housing developments, so there's pros and cons to that I suppose... but it would seem like a good idea. (Hell, if I had any real money to sink into something i would sure want to get some acreage and a double-wide and do some farming!!! )

also...is it mostly Americans who are buying, or is it foreigners...?
