Your best bet is to contact the County you plan to build in (Miami-Dade County or City of Miami) and see if a stamped set of plans is required for the development of land and building Deparment permits.

I have many years of construction experience and have also done a fix and flip, in addition to ground up construction, as well as 10 years of entrepreneurial experience running a paddle board rental company, and advancing science through developing theoretical methods for efficient large scale simulations...I guess my problem is I can't seem to figure out how to find the money to do more projects, which is why I've been trying to sell my house.

However, my perspective is more cautious, driven not just by statistical analysis but by firsthand observations in the field and insights from investors and developers across the country.

Assuming the deals are value-add or new developments with moderate leverage/risk targets.

I mean I would love to share pictures of my deals and developments but I cant figure out howto get them from my phone onto this site so they just live in my phone and all I can do is talk about them.. :)  Personally I dont think the post that we are all talking about was anything but asking for advice..

Mike Zuber has an excellent story on how this is possible and probably an excellent way for the any new investor to develop their wealth.

Quote from @Daniel Kulik: Hey everyone, I'm developing an automated property management software specifically designed for small to medium-sized landlords.

Can I expect more development / gentrification to occur in this area?

In short, mix-use development requires a close eye on underwriting.
