Good morning All,I've been real estate curious to the point of obsession for about a month now, but in that time I've started to develop my tentative plans.

This reduces exit options and affects the value. 10) Small number of small units is the most expensive residential development there is.

The DST gives you this option, while 1031 does not.2) Direct up to 80% of the funds to an LLC and partner with the trust for a business purpose such as purchasing investment real estate, loan business, buy into a business or develop investment RE at your own timing (all capital gains tax deferred, without having to follow any timing guidelines.)3) The DST can save a failed 1031 exchange.

Maybe attend a chamber of commerce meeting and ask around where development will start.

This gives you a foundation for making a fair offer.Secure Financing: Be prepared to show you’re a serious buyer with funding lined up, whether through cash, traditional financing, or a creative option like seller financing.Have a Strategy for Repairs or Development: If the property is distressed, outline how you’ll handle improvements to bring it back to productive use.

So many population/job growth/companies moving and developing here - Intel headquarters, Google, FB, Amazon, Nationwide, Honda, Anduril etc.

Don't wait for problems to happen before developing a solution.

Red Rock Development spent $50 million building the 600,000sqft warehouse (that Amazon now occupies) without a tenant lined up based off the projected growth. 

Eventually you'll start developing relationships with people in the market that will bring you off market deals, but they have to believe that you can close the deal.

I think there needs to be a change in leadership and a pro-development or up-zoning attitude.
