@Linda West That’s not true.

@Joshua Dorkin As far as the previous posts, Linda is a sponsor, and Mike is a speaker.

As a previous development engineer, I've been partial to the following books:Real estate development principles and processby Mike Miles for the Urban Land InstituteLand DevelopmentBy Daisy Linda Kone (also goes by Linda Kone)They each touch on the overall land development process, calculating potential costs and profits, zoning laws, construction, and also sales and marketing.They're written for the serious residential land developer, but all the principles can, and should, be applied to those developing just one or plots as well.Anyone planning to get serious about purchasing land you can check out the urban land institute's website.

Quote from @Justin Carter: Hello BP Community,I am looking at a duplex in SE DC, right off of Pennsylvania Ave/Minnesota Avenue.

I have not yet seen the home so I might be way off with the #'s as it's not listed yet nor am I clear on future value, using my own home's value in comparison which is in the neighborhood and half the size....Also, why isn't my value increasing in this analysis, I must have missed something here, I thought I put in 5% increase in the formulas.Thank you,Linda*This link comes directly from our calculators, based on information input by the member who posted.
