Quote from @Hardik Mistry: Hi, My name is Hardik Mistry, and I’m new to real estate development and investing.

The goal is to become a developer building affordable housing!

I use a spreadsheet I developed to determine my entry costs, carrying costs, cash flow, tax write offs, appreciation and exit costs.

But if they're looking for a quick in-and-out development, sewer is probably a must-have.What's the seller asking and have you pulled any recent land comps in that specific stretch?

I’m also looking to connect with more real estate developers and people who are actively doing deals.Are there any real estate investment or business communities you’d recommend that have solid weekly meetups and good people who are actually out here closing deals and growing?

Hi BiggerPockets community,We are a married couple based in the California Bay Area, both working as software engineers with a combined income of close to a Million USD.

I am a developer in South Florida. 

Yes, as I said in my prior post (which I made as a hard money lender myself) ...develop relationships with hard money lenders--especially those who are/were long-time landlords and house flippers themselves and who thoroughly understand the types of projects you want to do because they've done those projects themselves--so that you have lenders who will make the loan without requiring any money down, without cash reserves, and without written scopes of work.

Developers are not stupid.

I think it is unlikely Torrance was such a location (as there was only a few in southern CA) but do not remember for sure.Building a single small unit is the most pensive residential development costs.Add the other issues with ADUs especially in Ca and ADU additions are typically a poor investment.
