How to become a real estate developer

Marco Murad

Hello BP users,

Real estate development has been on my radar for years now and I’m 80% sure I’m ready to get into that space.

I’ve been a real estate agent for 6 years in residential, commercial leasing and multi-family off market sales.

So what is the best way to become a developer?

Should I start by creating an LLC first or get certifications first?

@Marco Murad There are no certifications to become a developer. The way you become a developer is to find a project and make it happen.  You can also start by working for a developer, partnering with a developer, or hiring a developer to do a project for you and learn from them . You can also find a mentor to help you do your first project. 

A lot of this depends on what type of development you want to get into.
