@Berridge Thomas- GC Realty & Development

The macro fundamentals are really strong with a ton of job and population growth, plus massive developments from Intel, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Honda, and more.

In other words is there room for future development or better use.

Since then, they have approved several lots for developers that provide precedent for me to request the variance in both setbacks and lot size.  

I've grouped mine into a holding company and an LLC for each parcel that I am developing (currently 4).

There is also a planning commission (no zoning though) but they seem to be mostly responsible for large scale developments.

As investor what we try to do is develop a relationship with the good ones so that we can trust their numbers and save time.

Many investors skip this and end up unhappy simply because they hired without clarity.Once your list is clear, develop interview questions that directly relate to those tasks.Red flags include poor communication, vague or hidden fees, lack of thorough tenant screening, and a weak maintenance process.

We vet a lot of operators and builders, so I’m always connecting with people doing development projects like yours.

There is plenty of money to made in this area for the experienced investor, especially those with experience in construction and development, but is not the right location for those that are already cash-strapped.Note: This information is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, or investment advice.
