Builders and Developers are generally depending on quick sales of new constructions homes to fund their next projects currently in progress.

Purchase price: $8,000 Cash invested: $8,000 Sale price: $15,000 We originally purchased this 12 acre lot as hunting land, before the other lots started developing their sites.

I am in agreement with @Will Fraser where there is a difference in investing from speculation.Yes the surrounding areas are some of the hottest in Philly, with new construction all over the place, but it's very hard to imagine that he development will push up into those areas.

But how you would bring value to this deal is pretty tough to Imagine.. not to mention any kind of land development in Hawaii is some of the toughest in the US to accomplish many times taking 5 to 10 years just to get through land use  etc..

@Abam create a mitigation plans for drainage, communication with the Houston development team, materials and labor.Before this pandemic I used to buy 1 sheet of plywood for $13.50/sheet.

Being a landscape architect, I feel I have a very good sense of where to buy and avoid throughout the city based on land development projects, walkability, and where the city is wanting to invest in. 

Many years before that in the Civil Engineering and Land Development world.

Many builders went out of business and entire developments were abandoned.

However I want to build my own theme park or water park one day and I'm looking for resources about:- Mixed use development & design.- Land use, procurement of land and regulations.- Development planning- Market analyses and feasablity- FinancingI know this is a crazy question, but I need to start somewhere and I have heard about this forum and podcast on many of the financial independance podcasts I listen to.

I recently offered a 50/50 JV deal to a land owner who owns vacant land behind a property I’m developing.
