As we are working on our first development, which builds out a failed development from '08-09 and then expands into raw acreage beyond that, I am learning so much.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) other investment. 31 duplex development located on the East side of San Antonio.

@Von Wilson you could ask the developer next door to partner with you and have them build on your property.  

SB-684 makes it easier to develop up to 10 units on vacant lots in single-family zones without needing a zoning change.

Me and the wife are having a little girl so my plan is to wholesale for the next year to better leverage my time and really develop that one skill in my skill set.

Investors can strategically target these areas to secure properties at lower prices, benefiting from economic growth and development trends.

I have a degree in civil engineering and 15 years construction, site development, and short term rental experience and am looking to shift my focus/career towards real estate development, mainly raw land although if there were a house on the property could include fix and flip.I plan to purchase 50+ acres of raw land with 1000+ feet of road frontage, have it surveyed and split into separate 5+ acre parcels for re-listing.

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

For example, the brokerage I'm helping at is specifically an urgent care brokerage, they do 90% of their deals in brokerage/development of urgent cares. 

While more development did happen over the last few years from development projects started in 2021 and 2022 when rates were lower and developers could outlast supply chain issues, the upcoming supply is expected to drop again, as we will discuss later on, with the relatively sharp rise in interest rates that has dried up investment capital due to the fear in the market, sellers opting to hold out on their land and or properties until cap rates and interest rates subside again as is expected in the coming years, as well as banks being cautious to lend on real estate due to this sharp rise putting many projects that were started in 2021 suffer greatly from a 7x increase in rates over the following 40 months that had adjustable rates or 5-year terms which is very common in larger multifamily investing.
