I have a subdivision in Maryland that I’ve been developing for the past year.

I don't deny that it's tough if you don't have family or contacts of your own, but with enough time and patience, I think it should be possible to develop contacts. 

This will allow the team to develop and review project processes and management strategies to move forward with more challenging, yet rewarding, properties.I come from a very process-oriented background (Mechanical Engineering), and my goal is to learn and develop each step of the process, from start to finish, to continuously improve the team and ROI of each project. 

It’s a business oriented mentorship but the man I was paired with was well versed in all aspects of real estate investing and development.

This is literally the biggest obstacle for any data center development today.

I studied RE development and investment for my MBA, I am the building inspector for the town where I live and I worked as a contractor before switching to only working on my own deals.

.: @Basit Siddiqi @Linda WeygantI believe it’s worth keeping an eye on this development, as this measure is still a proposal and needs to pass through the Spanish Parliament.

For a more general philosophy on hospitality, especially if you are going into the higher end STR space I would recommend Four Seasons: The Story of a Business Philosophy by Isadore Sharp about the founding and development of the Four Seasons brand. 

As someone else had mentioned, the prospect for appreciation should be a strong consideration.
