Seeking advice on a development opportunity
I have been in the real estate game for 10+ years as an investor/agent/management and have recently been approached to be a partner in developing about 100 acres into a residential neighborhood and starting a development company. I've never been one to shy away from a challenge and am very interested in doing this, but I am admittedly very green in this area of the business. If anyone has good advice, tips, first steps, experience doing this or any great resources I can turn to, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Learn their market strategy and see if it matches the market demand. So many project start off wrong based on a variety of factors. You need to be able to buy the land, put in site improvements, carry soft costs and make 30%-50% a profit margin.
PM me if have additional questions. There are a lot of moving parts to these deals, they are fun!
