Congrats on that profit!  If you ever need went help from the engineering side, feel free to reach out. 

Dan your story is truly inspiring. I am approaching 40 and just now starting to explore real estate. As a land development engineer my goal is to leverage my expertise by handling the plans and permitting for raw land development. My ideal scenario is to take a percentage stake in a project that will be sold, allowing me to generate cash flow for the next investment.

I have worked on projects ranging from small to large subdivisions as well as commercial and industrial developments. My goal is to use my experience and professional licensure to establish a strong foothold in the industry. Where there is a will there is a way so I am staying determined. Keep pushing forward! 💪

If wetlands are on your site, you'll need to involve an environmental firm to delineate their exact extent. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) oversees permitting for any activities affecting wetlands. Even if you’re not directly altering the wetlands, there will be a regulated buffer zone where disturbance is restricted.

As a land development engineer, I have extensive experience navigating this permitting process. I create the plans submitted to the Corps and can help ensure compliance while keeping projects like yours on track.

 Thanks for the reply.  I sent you a message.

Hi all,

I am a licensed civil engineer looking to get into real estate investing.  While I don’t have deep pockets,  I would like to leverage my professional expertise at getting land permitted at no cost for a stake in a development and use that money to reinvest.  I don’t have extensive connections, and I know these deals do happen.  If anyone can give advice on how to make this a possibility it would be much appreciated.  I know first hand permitting and feasibility is expensive so hopefully a developer/investor would see value in that.    Thoughts and suggestions appreciated. 

We are licensed civil engineers specializing in land development, and we are looking to partner with developers who want to streamline feasibility and permitting without upfront engineering costs.

What We Offer:

✅ Feasibility Studies – Evaluating site viability before purchase
✅ Permitting & Approvals – Navigating zoning, environmental, and regulatory requirements
✅ Grading & Utility Planning – Designing efficient, cost-effective site layouts
✅ Project Risk Reduction – Helping projects move forward smoothly and avoid costly delays

Where We Work:

We are currently licensed in the following states and can provide full engineering services in these areas:

Alabama
Arizona
California
Colorado
Florida
Georgia
Illinois
Indiana
Kentucky
Louisiana
Michigan
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
New Mexico
North Carolina
Ohio
Oregon
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

If your project is in a different state, We are open to obtaining licensure there to support the development.

How the Partnership Works:

Instead of charging traditional consulting fees, we offer a sweat equity model. We handle feasibility and permitting at no upfront cost in exchange for a percentage stake upon project sale. This allows you to reduce risk and upfront expenses while securing expert engineering support.

We are looking for the right development partners who see the value in this approach. If you’re working on a project and want to discuss how we can collaborate, let’s connect!

Looking forward to hearing from you!
