Hey Abel, those are the two biggest things that come to mind for me.  I'd also look at the building development codes; there are some interesting regulations with regards to how tall and how close to the property lines buildings can be built, etc.  https://www.austintexas.gov/de...

All of the investments I've made in the Austin area haven't included development, so I don't have any info on price per sqft handy, but I am a realtor in Austin and could discuss what your lot/the lot you're looking at is potentially worth.

At the end of last year, there was a couple months backlog of permits.  I was dealing with that for a personal (i.e. not investment) project.  You can pay someone to get the permits expedited though; that's ultimately what the contractor for my project did.

In Austin, I used the Real Estate Business School to get my initial license and am planning on going with them for my SAE as well.  I did my classes online, but they've got a brick and mortar off of 183 as well.  https://www.buildmyrebusiness.com/sae/
