Should I play harder and get into land development?  

@Chris Morris have ALWAYS seen bad "deals" from rookie wholesalers that really don't understand what they are doing to provide value to the industry.It's getting worse because the real estate market has recovered from the 2010 Crash, yet many are still using tactics & methods developed during this time.Everyone in the industry needs to go back and look at what was being done BEFORE 2010 and start using those methods, updating them with current technology.

I'm also in FL and am a RE investor (STR/MTR/LTR), developer, and just love RE and the freedom it brings.

I'm fairly new to investing and looking to wholesale at first, then develop a portfolio of rental properties in apartments, SFH or both.

It's worth taking the time to understand what you're doing so you can develop your own conviction and confidence.

U have to find developments that are purpose built for investors..

Also, keeping an eye on zoning changes or upcoming developments can help you get ahead of the curve.Would love to hear more about your experiences too—what areas are you currently focusing on?

Your plan is to “buy out investors over time” then “truly drive down rental prices” and then with the portfolios “income” support “local economic development initiatives.”
