I also have partnered with people in the construction and development business.  

My proudest moment in my real estate investment career to date was the day that I closed on the last unit of a condominium development project.

If you can get the zoning and own a construction company then there still are development opportunities.

I was going through them much too quickly and he felt that I had developed a dependency on them.  

Sounds like the seller is shedding the crap from his portfolio and using that cash for new development.

Big believer in giving back so now that I have been a realtor for almost 2 years I feel a little more confident in giving my opinion.Am eyeing my position as a realtor to be a way to jump into commercial development / residential housing.

I'm a developer who learned lessons during the 5 year downturn. 

I develop towers for all of the wireless carriers throughout the US.   

looking to meet people to buy sell rent and develop property I have several years experience in real estate and developing property and building

I ultimately sold the land to a developer who wanted to rebuild the 8 units.
