Since you're familar with commerical development, most enginering firms, and attorneys work on both residential and commerical. 

It is possible to develop the deal and not build anything at all.

Quote from @Breland Clark: I would like to know more about developing land and subdivisions for new builds and apartment buildings. talk to the land development arms in your city or state.

Hi all -- I've identified a piece of property that I would like to develop into mostly residential homes, with some townhomes/multifamily.

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!

Or the developer can close on the land at risk but they have a lot of capital when that's the case.  

I was referred to the actual developer, Rebar Development, by City of Fishers and am waiting to hear back from their Corporate Counsel.
