I am in land development on the east coast of Florida.

Develop a good relationship with a hard money lender in your area.

What's going on @David Hanson - If you have a degree in finance and real estate...and it sounds like you are a go-getter, then I highly suggest looking into some Chicago commercial real estate brokerages.Other options would be some larger property managers or developers.  

It could hinder development and actually exacerbate the core issue driving housing un-affordability which is a housing shortage. 

@Michael Cadden,Welcome to the BP community.Great job getting started in the development space. 

Id recommend getting comfortable with the terms.Some books that are helpful (not totally MF focused)-Confessions of a Real Estate Entreprenuer (Perspective of an investor, how they think, how they take risks and how they learn)-Am I Being Too Subtle (Mindset, managed risk, opportunity spotting)-Zeckendorf - Autobiography (Relationships, risk taking, deal structure, development)-BP Rental Property InvestingI'd also recommend going to Lowe's, Home Depot, Habitat for Humanity to build your brain around materials, costs, quality and history of materials (even if you're not the one doing the work).Lastly, once you've conceptualized the asset class itself and general understanding of deal structure / operating structure...look into some news articles and trends in MF.

Rent Butter has already done all this.We helped them develop their tool:)

The rule of “unintended consequences” also leads us to conclude some other effects of buyers paying their agents directly, (without the “work around”) developed by the NAR, which was the original intention of the regulators in suing the NAR.  

I came out of college lost, like most, and with debt, again like most...I started out by working for a build developer in my area.
