All ideas are welcome.

Also, is it possible to find a professional to work with regarding Land Development?

You're correct. I'm in California and the property/land are located in Louisiana. It hasn't been the easiest task trying to locate the right people down there but I will not stop. I have been asking any and everyone of ideas,tips,everything. Basically anyone who will listen. 

Im still learning everything that I need to know because I'd never walk into something without doing my own due diligence first. But I think I'm going to start looking into finding a mentor of sort because this isn't my field. And although I am learning I want to at least have a solid plan in place. It's 24,339 sqft per appraisal so I have to do something. Because I'd never sale it. 

I was just fortunate to inherit the asset. So Im doing all that I know that I can do. 

Wish me luck!

Thanking you for chiming in.

I just need help getting started. Wish me luck!

I want to build a complex/duplex on my land and rent to tenants.

I've been researching and reaching out to see what all I'll need to do, who I'd need to speak with, etc.

Excuse my knowledge gap but I was in Healthcare for 14 years so this didn't matter until land and property were handed to me.

So, I own land and would like to collab with someone who can assist and potentially build their portfolio this year by genuinely showing me and telling me the process of it all.

Are there things on my end that I need to know, things to watch out for, credit, income, anything you can think of that would pertain to the development process will be greatly appreciated!!

@Aaron Poling

You are such a life saver 😊

I appreciate you responding to my post. Yes, I wanted to learn all that I could before walking in blindly. But I am also trying to realize that I may have to take calculated risks in this business. But, to be confident and actually knowing what I'm doing will really help lol.

Regarding topic 1. When you speak of a business plan. I do have it in my head. But is this something that I should have written out in a professional manner in order to present it. Kind of like a resume? But for the plan I'm trying to portray?

To answer your question on number 3. It is a requirement to tear down the existing home. It has asbestos all around it and the home itself sits in the middle of the 8 acres. I tried to have the fire department burn it down but they will not touch it. Since the fumes will fill the air.

I will keep you posted for sure!

@Ceasar Rosas

Thank you for responding to my post. I agree with you regarding Aaron Poling. He really broke it down for me. But I really am grateful for everyones advice.

Im happy so many people are willing to assist.

You made great points and gave me examples of what it is I should be thinking about. Planning wise.

I spoke to a lady who let me know that there are No Zone Restrictions on my land. So she said I can do whatever I want with it. But now it leaves me wondering if water and electricity will be able to supply all of the units 🤔 I'm not sure who I need to speak to on that part.

I was thinking about the water and electricity company.

Any ideas?

@Donna M.

Thank you for responding to my post.

I called them yesterday and they let me know that there are No Zone Restrictions. The lady said I can build whatever I want on the land. But my only concern now is if the water and electrity will supply multiple units. Im not sure where to find that information.

Maybe the electric and water companies?

@Adam Martin

Thank you for responding to my post.

I actually have contacted the Fire department to see if they could also do this for me. But they declined since the home has Asbestos they didnt want to risk burning it and having all of the fumes go into the air.

But its very fortunate that your old boss got the opportunity to use this option
