Simultaneously, develop a detailed scope of work and collect bids from multiple contractors to compare costs and timelines.

From my investigation a fair amount of time is spent on developing (private money)   

I usually work with my local credit union where I have developed a relationship over the years.

It is less than an acre, but zoned for multi-family residential development (town-homes, condos, apartments, etc) Having never been, I know nothing of the potential in Delta Utah.

They can also look into local workforce development programs that might help them find new employment quickly.

There are continue developments (residential and commercial). 

For newer developers, credibility often hinges on clear and compelling financial documentation.

We had an investment group willing to come in and zero-lot line a dilapidated apartment complex in Corvallis and give the tenants the opportunity to buy to help solve our affordability crisis here, but nonetheless, the city forced their hand by needing a half-street development after changing zoning that killed the deal.

I’m an architect who has recently stepped into the world of real estate development, taking over my father’s small business.

However, some developers are profiteering.
