Where to learn about ground up construction and development?

[Faiz Kanash]

Hello everyone!

I'm looking to learn more about ground up construction and residential development, doing anything between single family to duplex to apartments. Nothing commercial really, or anything major like a 10+ unit building. I'm a current house flipper and i've found great success in what i've accomplished so far, to the point im able to take on multiple projects at once. I do see a high demand for new multi family buildings in the areas I work in, and want to eventually tap into it(I work in the suburbs, not chicago itself.) I was wondering if anyone knew whats a good way to get started in learning? Any books, videos, articles I'm able to learn from? Thank you!

Hi there @Faiz Kanash - You should definitely come to our Chicago meetup event this Saturday.  Our guests are Chicago developers that do ground-up construction.

Here's the link to the event:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1132853-chic...

I've also done some ground-up construction as well and am happy to help.

Are there any specific areas you are thinking about developing?
