It used to be--if you were the average, soulless land developer, you bought land as far out as the mind could travel--the land zoned agricultural, the bad farmland, the gullies, the washed out wetlands, the stripped mines--and you held it. 

Perhaps, you built a sprawling golf course for the entertainment value, lower or non-existent property tax rate, and because, if you wanted to attract residential development, everyone knows, retirees are lulled into paradise by the sound of sprinklers and F-O-R-E!

Now, the game is to buy up land after buildings are torn down with your tax dollar.  Land banked by the euphemistically titled Cuyahoga Land Reutilization Corp. [1]

 

Are you a soulless land developer?  Test yourself.

 

What are some other good properties to go after? 

How about churchs, schools and other non-profit hand-offs??
