While I didn't quit "working," I am now all in.I recently joined a highly respected Commercial Real Estate Debt & Equity boutique firm where I am brokering commercial real estate loans for Retail, Office, Industrial/Warehouse, NNN, Medical, Mixed Use, Multifamily, Development, etc.I'm so excited to finally be in with both feet.  

In my previous job I worked around a lot of very successful RE investors and developers.  

Hi everybody, I am Cristian, I've been in the development business for plenty years and now I am looking forward to get more involved into the flipping business.

Hello everybody. I am from Chicago, I have a construction company which 90% of our work is for investors so its still into the flipping and rental business. But I want to make the next step and start doing my own flip...

I have also been learning from a local RE broker and developer, and a few others involved in RE, politics and law.

Selling shortly after completion would be developing, subject to ordinary income tax.

I look forward to working with Bigger Pockets and developing new business relationships and friends. 

Caution on speculative developing raw land - - you can get burnt real bad.Suggest a marketing plan and presentation that you use to find that Anchor tenant and get them under contract before breaking ground.I'm sure you know the Anchor is the key here and w/o one, it will all wither and languish. 

Then develop your own plan of attack.
