Residential/Commercial Development Mastermind for Newbs &others?
Hey BP, I'm really wanting to get into real estate development, however, I'm finding a big learning curve accompanies it.
Not sure if it's kosher on BP or not, but I thought it would be beneficial for me and anyone else in my shoes to put together a mastermind group to explore development, the process, funding, and everything that goes along with it. Any pros could come and offer advice and maybe collaborate on some deals.
If you're up for it, send me a PM and I'll start putting together a group. Thanks!

@Michael Schumpert Development is a tough subject to pin down. Realistically, myself and the people I learned a majority of stuff went down a similar path...Just have to get into it and learn. I joke with people all the time that development can't be taught in a class or a book (even though there are some really good and informative books and classes out there). There is no cookie cutter equation and each and every project will be different. However, masterminds and networking with other developers is always a plus. I actually learned a great deal more from talking with other developers who have MUCH more experience than I do.
