Finding, developing and maintaining a 'brand' is hard and time consuming work.Let me turn the question around; As a seller, why should someone pick one agent over another.

Research led me to a couple of videos of former ND players coming back to build development into the area.

Over time, we have developed systems to handle these situations as effectively as possible.

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.

That is just not realistic in this current market.So in my opinion it's important to expose yourself to a large number of deals, so you can develop an intuitive sense of what's reasonable and what's not (and quickly discard the ones that aren't).And it's true that there is no way to 100% protect from fraud (and not just in passive real estate investments but even in public stocks etc.).

The end goal is to have a piece of land with multiple houses: one for my growing family but also a home for my mother in law.My mother in law has agreed to foot the money on a new property/land up front and when ready we can buy land from her to build/develop etc. 

Plan is to develop and sell the homes.

Purchase price: $2,900,000 Country Glamping and Development LLC acquired 776 acres for a project called Country Glamping on the River, LLC.This is Rawland/Off-Grid/Glamping/STR and Owner Financing for Lot Owners that want an Oasis Get-A-Way and Glamping ROI development on the TN River.you can see the Project: www.CountryGlampingontheRiver.com What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

This is a long term development opportunity.

Existing deals will instead be saved by NOI growth driven by rent growth--if you have the staying power to hold on long enough.Supply:  High deliveries remain today mostly because of "hang over" from projects that are taking longer to complete than developers (and industry analysts) expected.
