Spend 15 minutes a day interacting with others on the forums.

If the basic elements of a contract are there in the active document (offer, acceptance, consideration), with all the proper information (correctly named parties, legal description of the property, price, terms and dates), you should have an enforceable contract. 

Hi John,You've got several important elements here and the best advice I can give you is to speak to a CT Real Estate Attorney about entity structuring (LLC and IRA) and speak to a CT CPA that has a specialty in working with Real Estate Investors.

I would recommend beefing up your profile, bumping your interactions 10x than what you currently do and then begin telling your story.

We just have to make sure not to overspend on those elements.

I had to change the elements, however, about 5 months ago which is where are of our problems have begun. 

Once the prospect raises his hand human interaction is needed to set appointment or feel out the situation.

Too much to get into for your question, but suffice to say it's very expensive and only pencils when a development has large economies of scale, you have deep pockets (think tens to hundreds of thousands just buying the credits), lots of time (think years) to hold the property, and development experience.In summary, I would share that if you are serious contemplating any property for the purposes of multi-lot development, you need to get education on all elements of the development process, create your team of vendors who will be performing the various aspects of the process, understanding the true timeline of events, and understand that development is a LONG process in our state and most others for that matter.

Providing different material can be a hassle as someone mentioned also it may change some element of the finish that the contractor is not comfortable with.

Last interaction with our go-to concrete contractor, he came in high, and was booked out 3-4 weeks.
