Another focused on National Realty Investment Advisors, a New Jersey-based firm with a big Philadelphia property-development footprint that promises large returns to investors on national TV and radio ads.

Development is a fun and frustrating venture, but Real Estate is still a good place to find a win.  

Many developers leave the tubs without even a hanging rod which looks incomplete.

I’m currently evaluating whether to go with a Fund Model instead of a traditional JV for an upcoming multifamily project, I will be working as a developer looking to do work with a more experienced developer on a larger scale multi-family opportunity.

So they started doing the loans that everyone else turned down, ultra high risk development deals, second mortgages, land loans at ridiculously high LTV, loans where the borrower has none of his own capital invested, 85% of AFTER stabilized value loans.  

Quote from @Bear Geiger: At Little Bear CreekProperties, we specialize in developing large tracts of land into individuallots for home builders in the Raleigh, NC area.

I think there needs to be a change in leadership and a pro-development or up-zoning attitude.

Right now, land (unless in a hot market) takes a special type of buyer/developer to turn it into money, so you're better off finding the thing the people with the money want. land tends to sit a long time...

I'm currently reading David Greene's book on BRRRR and was curious about how you all go about planning or visualizing added rooms to potential purchases. 

Land Ed is one phase of ground-up development.
