Subdividing Land (5+ Acres)

[Peyton Cooper]

Novice RE Investor looking to get into the buying and subdividing of land (5+ acres). Located out of Louisiana targeting the Northshore (between Baton Rouge and Mandeville) which is north of New Orleans. I understand the broad process, but I am still curious to hear any first hand accounts of anybody familiar with subdividing land. 

I am a licensed RE Agent and Contractor. So finding and servicing the land should not be an issue for me if needed.
