BUT, I am confident that while the above covers MOST situations, in a country of 300 million + people there are locations where a 12% ROI exists for a car lot - though you may be giving up the “windfall” of a developer wanting and willing to pay a premium for your lot.  

Most times things don't go to plan in one way or another.You need to develop your project management skills because that is how you eat a loss on one area and manage the project to success.

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.

- Local Development improving the area?

I'm looking for real estate developers to partner up with.I'm with Mini·O (mini-o.com), we sell backyard studios: from mini offices (96 sq ft) to tiny homes (300 sq ft).

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

My vision is to subdivide and develop the lot.

My ultimate goal is developing and commercial. 

My wife, Krys, and I moved to a developing country 3 decades ago to serve impoverished families.
