Advise (Mentorship) on going from an Investor to a Developer

[Shawn Choi]

Hello,

In the past couple of years, I have successfully procured a few Multi Family Properties. (None of these properties required any construction or renovations)

My Real Estate Investment goal is to eventually be a full time Developer; and to get there, I would assume experience in Flipping will be the best teacher.

For those of you who have experience in Developing:

- What goes into developing a property, other than money and risk?

 - What is the most strategic way of leveraging my properties into becoming a Full-Time Developer?

 - What other ways are there for a passive investor to pivot into Developing?

 - Am I right in assuming that the next step towards my goal is to have many successful flips under my belt?

 - Knowing what you know, what advise would you give to someone that would like to become a Developer?

 - If you don't mind, would you please share your experiences on how you became a Developer?

For your information, my investments are located in California and would like to Develop projects in California.

Thank you very much for your answers. It definitely helps.
