REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT WEBINARS COMING SOON

Anyone can enter the real estate development industry. There are no pre-requisites, no special education, nor a specific background for someone to enter and become successful in real estate development. As the real estate market thrives in some communities and is depressed in others, those with an entrepreneurial spirit, risk takers, and “outside the box” thinkers will thrive in any market environment.

It is abundantly clear that there are limited educational resources available for real estate development entrepreneurs. You will discover there are significant investment opportunities in real estate. Most real estate webinars teach about foreclosures and short sales. My webinars will not address these issues at all. I rather provide proven ideas and concepts for evaluation and consideration utilizing land as the basic investment resource. Thus, I will be launching a series of webinars available for any and all of the following stakeholders:

Realtors®, Government Regulators,Urban Planners, Land Planners, Land Use Attorneys, Real Estate Attorneys, Surveyors, Land Development Engineers, Soils Engineers, Architects, Water and Wastewater Engineers, Traffic Engineers, Builders, Developers, Land Owners, Economists, Marketing Professionals, Environmental Specialists, General Public, Community Associations, Academia, Vendors, Contractors,  Software Providers, Recruiters, Investors, and Lenders

There are three main categories of sessions with eight (8) different webinars in each category. Each webinar will be applicable for residential and non-residential uses. This week, I will post the titles of each webinar and a short overview of each session. The main categories will consist of:

Real Estate Development Basics

Real Estate Development Investment Strategies

Land Development Engineering Practices

These webinars are structured for individuals rather than for firms. I am a strong advocate of arming yourself with information, selectively select “winners”, strive to hit singles rather than home runs, and remember to allow the end user the opportunity to make a profit.

My marketing campaign will be launched primarily on LinkedIn. The webinar offered without a registration fee will be the “Four Uses of Land”. There are only four ways to use land for real estate development purposes and will be discuss in detail.

1. Buy and own vacant land for future use.

2. Partnering with other stakeholders to buy land and sell entitled, approved, and permitted land.

3. Buy land, complete designs, obtain approvals, and construct infrastructure for end users.

4. Buy improved land for vertical construction purposes.

Each webinar will be approximately 1-hour in length with a Q & A to follow. Course notes are made available to each registrant and follow-up inquiries are included. My intent is to offer an affordable information exchange of ideas and concepts to lessen the learning curve upon entering the real estate development industry.
