I am from Honduras and my family has been in the developing business for a long time. I am currently living in Utah and want to start developing land but profitable land is hard to find since the zoning requires big lots or the land is too small to develop a good amount of houses. Any recommendation on how to find land and how developers get to develop high density subdivisions when all I see in the market is either agricultural zoned land, commercial or industrial and very small residential lots. Please help.
it's no easy process. you can build up as high as your city will allow. look at other new builds who have a similiar footprint and research from there.

You need to research the zoning districts and comp plan for your area. You can find this on the city or county website. There is also a use matrix that will tell you what density and uses are allowed in the different zones. Many parcels are rezoned to allow for higher density. You can find requirements for this on the city or county websites as well. Some areas will easily approve rezoning others not so much so you need to look for land in areas that are pro-development.
