If the project is in Canada then I would look to an attorney that understands international law as it could be more complex.Personally for something along the lines of what you are doing I would look to partner with another developer vs trying to raise the capital as that will be less labor intensive.

However, you have to invest in specific communities where they are encouraging development.

I own 40 properties, have a family full of developers/attorneys aka all things annoying, and I am a former senior wealth manager. 

Growing up on one of the Ranch's in Northern Ca my dad bought to develop 2k acres.

We've been continuously improving it, but it has been working exceptionally well for us since we hired a developer for the complete build-out a year ago.

To meet this requirement, you must spend at least 750 hours per year actively participating in real estate activities, such as property management, development, or acquisitions, and these activities must constitute more than half of your total working hours for the year.

First, it fast-tracks your learning as an investor - you are forced to develop better time management skills, build your network of reliable contractors/ handymen, etc..Second, when you are ready to transition to a property manager, you are well equipped to evaluate and hire the right company.3.

The macroeconomics look so good for this market - population is growing, job growth is growing, and so many companies moving and developing here.

The consistent population and job growth are driving real estate values along with many companies choosing to move and develop here like Intel, Amazon, Google, Meta, etc.

It will help round you into a more complete individual as you continue to develop and mature.
