Quote from @Bear Geiger: At Little Bear CreekProperties, we specialize in developing large tracts of land into individuallots for home builders in the Raleigh, NC area.

When you work at a large corporation (national or global) you learn a lot in your role, but also by osmosis, just by observing other people and seeing how projects are developed, business is done etc.

This was found off market, we have developed a process to find off market deals.

Research led me to a couple of videos of former ND players coming back to build development into the area.

Many developers leave the tubs without even a hanging rod which looks incomplete.

And then you can use that information to start to develop your own personal due diligence method: Crowdstreet.com, 1031 Crowdfunding, Akr7, Finresi etc.

.: Hi Everyone,I am looking to develop passive real estate investment opportunities, but I am not sure if I completely understand what investors look for when investing in certain passive real estate investments, or real estate in general. 

Now I own a thriving property management business, run a real estate team helping other investors learn how to grow and scale their portfolios, I have my own modest investment portfolio and have two development projects going at the moment.

While sophistication of your equity partners (private money lenders) will vary between residential and commercial, the principle of raising private capital is the same.You need to develop your own system which allows a constant stream of PML even when you don't need the funds and/or don't have an active deal under contract.For example; I raise private capital by offering free educational workshops for people with self-directed IRAs.

Development is a fun and frustrating venture, but Real Estate is still a good place to find a win.
