@Juliette Holm I recently had a meeting with a long time commercial real estate developer who had also built, bought, and sold several businesses as well as personally owning some residential rental properties.

With a diverse background that spans over 14 years in business ownership, sales, marketing, media, and business development, I'm eager to bring my skills and experience into the BiggerPockets community.Before diving into real estate, I spent 16 years in IT with the federal government, and I'm also a proud Air Force wartime veteran.

All the acreage is not perfect for development.

A multi decade already approved development effort.  

In order to counter that, what has popped up are "Seller Financing Deals" from developers.

During May, net absorption totaled 52 units, while there was no new development; the net effect of absorption and construction dynamics caused the vacancy rate to remain unchanged.

This will put you into your 50s.If you feel it will be a slow transition and you plane to concurrently carry your current source of income, that will eliminate you free time and add stress to the family dynamics and your health.In the next several years, the most crucial child development years in my opinion, you will not be there for your kids ...

On a recent Monday, a public meeting in southeast Bakersfield intended to showcase new developments quickly turned into a forum for discussing the area's longstanding issues.

Moore as north of there is still developing.

Note: I am under the impression that me material participating in this exercise will fall under the "Real Property Development or Redevelopment" activity, thereby allowing me to cost segregate the home construction cost.
