I'm about to begin my journey as a commercial real estate developer by constructing a 20,000sqft building in Georgia.What do I need to know about analyzing sites, pricing development, planning build out, getting tenants, etc. as I get into commercial real estate development?

The macroeconomics is great - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies developing here like Amazon, Google, Meta, Intel, etc.

I prefer this more than development deals because those only make money at the exit which is many years down the road.

This has taken years of work and effort to develop these connections.

Over the years I’ve developed relationships with contractors to call when there is an issue with the home.  

Also thinking of buying a single family and then flipping it to a developer to tear down and build new multi-family that seems to be going up everywhere.Any advice is appreciated!

The seller, who happened to be a developer, agreed to leave some funds as equity in the deal, providing us with favorable terms.

There is a lot of commercial development happening all around there - Indy 11 complex, 16 Tech, Hospitals (Community is adding 900 beds), Elanco headquarters. 

Anyone know of a lawyer that can execute at a fairly high level on Land Development deals?

New investors tend to stress out for years about their first deal or two, and then when it comes to the most important peice of the puzzle regarding how their property will perform and how passive their experience will be, they get lazy and don't develop a process for screening.
