I will caveat, that the RED process can be exceptionally complex, particularly in the Bay Area, where the growth politics are the most difficult you will ever encounter.Second, take a look at our BP blog:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/9960-real-esta...This has a number of articles on the basics, as well as, more complex subjects such as proforma modeling and project financial underwriting.Third, here is a more general RED topics Q/A we created:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/44/topics/491...This has some land development Q/A in it, that may be of help in your situation. 

Hello biggerpockets community my name is Carlos im a 21 year old from Lancaster,Pa with a dream to become a real estae invester.

I beleive it's 180 hours of education courses before you take the test.https://www.trec.texas.gov/become-licensed/sales-a...https://www.trec.texas.gov/renew-license/real-esta...Once you get your license, you'll also need to do 90 hours of Sales Apprentice Education (SAE) courses during your first two years. 

I lived out of a duffel bag and rented whatever I could get my hands on because I could not commit to a lease because i could only find work at 1 construction project in any given state  at any given time while my daughter stayed with family.I had to work, unemployment did not even cover 2 or 3 vials of insulin a month and I go thru about 10 per month, I was born a diabetic.

The primary Team members are Attornies/Lawyers, real estae Agents/Brokers, CPA's (or accounts you know and trust), Inspectors, Property Managers (that do not work directly fot you), General Contractors (you trust), and Handymen.I am sorry this is so long but I have much to say and I am opinionated.  

Experience in real estae improvments does not seem to matter in SFH's and small apartment complexes.
