I am new to the real estate game.

I actually interned for a company in Iowa City that did real estate, property management, new home construction and development.

Should I go ahead and develop the land entirely and risk losing that money? 

We are late in the game but hopefully we can catch-up leveraging the plethora of knowledge that exists on this platform. 

Congrats on getting in the game.

I would assume that you'd just simply sell each individual lot to the developer at a set lot price such that your cost to purchase the raw land and improve it to buildable lots was worth the proposed profit per lot.  

🏡 MASSIVE transformation coming near downtown…🏙️With one of the last areas to develop near downtown, the neighborhood just south of Empower Field will get a massive upgrade 🏟️The stadium district master plan is only 10% done, but will include a mixture of housing options, jobs, game day/special event experiences, and more.When this 58 acre space is developed, it will re-shape the landscape of downtown once again…

Networking in various real estate associations to develop DEEP relationships is part of this program.2.

How come you don't see the excitement you could have, of asking yourself all those questions at your desktop, if only you had some skin in the game?

@Nicholas L.What Nicholas said.I would also develop a list of buyers and what their buy boxes are.
