Level 2 Check the county and city plans, after you find a land you want to invest, you need to do your homework. Your agent will check some information for you. But remember agents are salesperson, you are the investor. Just take few minutes to make a call to the city or county plan , which will help you to get the best return. The value of cheap lands in the mountain will grow too. But which one can give you the best profit. The truth is not all real estate agents know the answer.
My suggestion for all my clients is own your lands 100%.
Maps: http://earth.google.com/ Free download google earth, it is very helpful. You can check the location of the land and if it is flat. Take a tour or drive by yourself to visit the city you want to invest is very important. *****

If you have APN number of the property, you can get the zoning information in the LA county area. http://assessormap.co.la.ca.us/mapping/viewer.asp *****
Use the APN number, you can get the plat map from this website ......
Level 3 After you purchase your land, you need this website to check your property tax status, any payment due. It updates every Tuesday.
It take 2 to 3 months for Los Angeles County to update your mailing address, I have some clients who did not receive the statement from the Los Angeles County and the payments are almost due. https://ttc.lacounty.gov/secured_asp/vcheck_new/index.php *****
