I'm starting to look closer at the development that is going on in my local market, which is where I have been investing. 

Find a map (I found a free local county book in my area on a free magazine stand that had a map of the area) and drive each neighborhood to get an idea of the neighbors (mostly homeowners or renters, single family or duplex/triplex/quad) vicinity to amenities like grocer/parks/schools/etc. and if area feels like something your target market would be interested in (to buy or rent).Go to your county's or city's website and see if you can find any planning information to figure out where the development is happening.Lastly, find (or start) a local meetup to network and learn the information you didn't know you needed to know.Tax liens can vary by county.

Looking forward to connecting with others to expand my goals and develop plans that lead to crushing these new goals.

There is no small scale development available to individuals.

I’ve been attempting to deal with this for the past several years and can’t seem to develop a strategy that I’m confident with.

Know that many Counties are backing the Port of Freeport, and the development of Tx HWY 36A. 

You could look at bringing in a local JV partner with experience or pay a consultant or fee developer to help you with the numbers and process.This should cost substantial money into the 6 figures usually.

Especially developers, rehabbers, the types that take old dilapidated properties and fix them nice.Also bad tenants (gangs, hoarders, the types that party all day and don't keep neighborhood clean stay FOREVER)  This is why the rent controls don't work.

I don't currently have any write offs and wanted to have the CPA help me to develop a tax strategy going forward.

I am looking for a weekend position where I can work for an investor or developer.
