Looking for a good start to finish guide on developing/building
Hello, I've been a broker for a couple of years now but only use it to drive my flipping business. Im always looking for new opportunities. Lately ive been wanting to learn more about developing and building residential and multifamily properties. There are lots of resources online but everything is pretty segmented to the process.
Im curious if anyone knows of a good guide or book that takes your from land purchase all the way through to the sale of a fully built building? Im really looking for something that does into detail about dealing with local government in the whole process. That seems like the biggest point that no one really talks about.

@Austin Bakich there is no book that will help you better than getting to know some developers. Each community restrictions and how the government works internally is different. If there is a way for you to netowrk with other successful developers thats your best step. Maybe bird dog and find deals for them and get a piece of the profits. Your education will be priceless and if the project makes money thats icing on the cake.
