Great, apparently there are giants swaths of unused land sitting in LA, SF, and NYC just waiting to be developed.

And as you develop your network of contractors, a valuable question is “do you do this work yourself, or do you sub it out?”

@Steve Maye Subdivides can range from a very simple split to a complex development.

my usual is tied up on a development.  

Have never done one but would focus in commercial real estate development.

If you'd rather not pay that annual expense I can send you the expected age and est cost of major mechanicals to help you develop a capex budget! 

Hi John - from what you described, it sounds like you've done your basic homework on real estate (i.e. you understand the BRRRR process, converting spaces to maximize profit, etc.) so I would dive into books that focus on helping you get goal clarity and develop an action plan moving forward.

The availability and prices of building materials could be impacted for new development, but for existing real estate and long-term buy and hold rentals, I don't see a major impact.

Buying a MF in the same area should help you develop your network there.

Many of you in the Boston / MA area are following the Suffolk Downs re-development.
