For those interested to know how developers turn raw land into approved residential lots, here are a few thoughts from someone who does this everyday.  

Hey BiggerPockets members,I’m looking to connect with developers or flippers who could use extra hands on their deals(if you do something else its okay, I still would like to connect).

has anyone invested with SCDC and their new multifamily development?

Employees may be able to handle certain admin tasks, but activities like leasing, showing units, negotiating terms, or collecting rent can require licensing depending on how things are structured and whether they’re acting for others.The key questions are: Are you only managing your own property?

Groups that move quickly on large land plays usually include experienced land developers, family offices, private equity real estate shops, or institutional-leaning partners who already have dry powder and a track record with entitlement risk.

You’re right: serious developers don’t replace pre-app meetings, civils, or title services with software.

Would something like Urban Studies  combined with finance and architecture-related coursework still be taken seriously if my goal is to grow into investing / development long term?

’m actively evaluating a vacant land opportunity in Waco and before moving forward I want to make sure I’m aligned with the actual buyer demand.
I’m specifically looking to connect with:

Developers

Builders...

One thing I always encourage my clients to do is to secure their investment legally, not just contractually.For example: where possible, I advise them to register a charge against the developer.

There's significant development potential here.
