I have wanted to get involved in real estate development for a long time now and ready to began my journey. How does some one start real estate development? I am in Houston a coming upon my last semester in grad school. Advice please or anything thank you

Hi, @Phil Pat my goal is to become a real estate developer but I am starting out as an agent first for 2-3 years to learn the business. I grew up assisting my family of developers and architects but want more experience before I jump into it.

My only advice at the moment is to read "The Real Book of Real Estate by Robert Kiyosaki" it is a brilliant read. Feel free to connect and shoot me a PM since we are both trying to get the ball rolling on becoming a developer.
