Right now i know they are building up the energy corridor for more engineering firms and oil businesses so it is still developing further west into the Katy area.  

Select the design that s/he and you feel is most appropriate for the marketplace.The next step would be to have the architect produce a set or working plans to get bids for construction from builders.I'm not a residential developer but I've done a lot of the above in commercial projects.

I am married for over 20 years to a wonderful man and he is very interested in real estate investments to develop wealth for the future with me. 

But I am finding other niches to wholesale including rental properties to landlords and land to developers. 

This to me would fit your lifestyle of developing enough cash flow  that you can enjoy cali on those winter months .

The net result is that big banks, especially those that were deemed  "Too Big to Fail" were empowered to grow even larger as they were actually given money to devour their former competitors.Chances are that the readers of my post did nothing to stop this terrible development because they believed that they were not being harmed.  

My conclusion is that we need a developer with a good design to start something on this undeveloped area. 

In my market, Los Angeles, the development of the Stapes Center has had a dramatic impact on real estate.

Vetting the developer getting financial info from them that you can verify. etc etc.good luck with it.

I envision this to develop into some sort of referral network.
