I own two villas and I am now developing properties that are being sold "off-plan."

I made this mistake when I was starting out - I got excited about the returns of a development deal - but I didn't pay attention to the fact that I needed to be a cash flow investor because I did not have a W2 income, nor did I have sufficient passive income yet.It is critical for investors to understand the relative importance of evaluating the sponsor, alignment of interests and the deal.  

I highly, highly, highly suggest developing a relationship with a really good local agent that understands real estate investing.

hey everyone,i’m a developer with a big interest in the real estate space, and right now I’m digging into how tech can better support agents like you. i’d love to hear about the challenges you face when it comes to finding clients.what are the pain points in your client acquisition process?

Our project is raw land development so we're submitting everything all at once.

My ultimate goal is developing and commercial. 

You may find it useful to seek an unofficial preliminary meeting with the local powers-that-be to get a read on how much resistance there's likely to be with your development, as well as getting an early read on things they'll "suggest" to make necessary approvals more likely.

There’s a few really good easy read books out there as to why Baltimore developed the way that it did starting over a 100 years ago which in many ways ways is still pervasive and has crippled the city even to today.

I'd go to a market where the economics are the most favorable and focus on a strategy that is easy for you. we focus on new construction and land development in columbus ohio
