Has anyone ever invested in land to develop slowly over time?

We have been looking for multifamily properties in Escondido, CA (to live in a unit and rent the rest), but also are interested in investing in properties in the Inland Empire area (mainly Apple Valley, CA and Hesperia, CA) as the entry price is cheaper there.The ultimate goal is to work towards owning a large apartment complex and building a property management company to operate the property.

At no point do you want any one deal to take your empire down.

At this location, is there a potential for increase of decrease in land value?
