Any land development experience
Hello
Looking for anyone who has experience in purchasing land and developing the land for residential land. Would like to know about any success stories, pitfalls.

In addition to the comments above, I believe that unimproved land plays (esp. properties with no or little entitlements) can be some of the most complex and high-risk investments you can make in real estate. Along with that risk can be big rewards...or big pitfalls. There is almost no end to the number and types of things that can impact a land acquisition's feasibility and cost. I would strongly encourage you to find someone in your locality with experience who can steer you through the process.
