Most of the investments were trust deed investments where I was a small fish swimming in a larger school, but they returned 8 to 10 percent and, naive or not, felt relatively safe to me.I have made some foolish mistakes trying to build wealth over my career (*cough* oil and gas *cough*), but I am grateful for them all.

Each type of asset has different requirements especially commercial vs residential but overall the process looks like this for commercial or multi family:Check with the city or county to determine what is required for all approvals including site plan and building permits, proffers, water/sewer tap fees, bonding requirements, inspections and CO process and time frame for all approvals.You also need to check with the utility companies and get an idea of availability and cost estimates from them for water, sewer, power, gas, cable, installation and connection requirements, tap fees, hookup charges, transformer location and relocation, power line and power pole relocation issues.Check to see if you have to install any manholes,fire hydrants, curb, gutter, sidewalks, street signs, street lighting any specific street design or access requirements,.Check DOT requirements for access, stop lights and permits, traffic studiesDWQ requirements for permits, permit fees, time framesThis is a broad overview of the process and your civil engineer can handle all of this but it's good for you to know exactly what's required.Residential is much easier but similar considerations.

I was reading an articles from BP about IFTTT.com about setting up craigslist searches to auto email you when an ad posted fits your criteria (like with keywords of fixer or divorce, etc)The articles gave exact instructions on how to do it at ifttt.com and the article was old, so the info on how to set it up was not valid.
