Much like by the end of this decade, I will take those same steps to become even less involved with work and have more times with my kids who will be really developing and that will be my focus.The difference once I made money, and was able to make it make money for me I de-risked by eliminating leverage.

I am also a project manager and a architectural designer for a real estate developer in NYC. 

I had to develop tenacity and perseverance when starting my business back in the mid 1990's. 

The area is rich in history and culture, and with ongoing investment and development in the neighborhood.

The macroeconomics are on fire here - population growth, job growth, and companies moving and developing here.

Here’s an example of one of our current developments:- A development with 7,190 total linear feet could accommodate 119 homes on 60 ft lots.

Keep in mind I dont do rental properties we do land projects new builds and capital partner with other developers who need capital.. 

Is it best to approach an architect or a land developer for what I am proposing?
