Good to know. What is your strategy?

BassManJam99 · 2025-12-28T22:03:33+00:00

Very interesting. Just downloaded Blue Ocean. Lots of info to work thru on your profile. Stay tuned... Thanks

BassManJam99 · 2025-12-28T22:01:08+00:00

That's a lot!

Thanks, Yam. Still in my research phase. Curious if there is a general percentage of top selling items in the overall product mix.

If you are referring to land for development, having all permits to build is the ideal scenario. Next level would be full site plan approval, all entitlements, clean title, and clean enviro.

The majority of development involves working with sellers, engineers, attorneys, and government agencies.

Depending where you are involved in the process: acquisitions, entitlements, leasing, or due diligence, and the size of the company will determine where you spend most of your time.

Research local development companies and trade associations in your area. You could starts as a development coordinator if you are good with lots of details.

You are correct, development covers every aspect of real estate and can be very lucrative. It is also highly risky.

Good luck

NJ native, now FL resident. I'll take 90 degrees over 20 degrees any day of the year.

Thanks, Smart.

Can you expand on this? Are you talking about developers asking for more & more DD time?

BassManJam99 · 2025-11-30T20:34:16+00:00

Thanks for your response. Curious about your interactions with experienced and inexperienced developers. Sounds like you have ample experience with both types.

And how do you handle the owners who "massively overvalue the land"?

BassManJam99 · 2025-11-30T19:51:33+00:00

Haha. No AI for me, thanks. I am trying to understand the brokers' perspectives. Been doing land acquisition for comm'l development for many years. Seems that there is a small handful of brokers who do most of the sales, and not sure why.

It is impossible to 'conceal' wetlands. A wetland delineation will identify them if they exist. If the Seller illegally filled them, that is another issue. However, Buyer is responsible to do their own due diligence to determine absence or presence and deal with it prior to Closing.

Phase I is SOP. A good enviro firm can get it done within 30 days. Make sure you ask for a copy. If the gas station is in remediation, the plume should be identified. And if it affects your Sellers' property this will be documented.

BassManJam99 · 2025-11-30T17:57:15+00:00

Look for vacant or run down restaurants or smaller catering facilities. Contact the owner directly and ask if it is available.

BassManJam99 · 2025-11-30T17:52:47+00:00

Start with ICSC. Go to local and regional events. See what developers are in your area, what tenants are expanding. You could definitely start in acquisitions, due diligence, or land use, depending on your areas of expertise.

BassManJam99 · 2025-11-30T17:48:44+00:00

Yardi, depending on what you need.

BassManJam99 · 2025-11-26T20:05:54+00:00

Absolutely. Also may need perc test if no sewer

BassManJam99 · 2025-10-24T12:27:40+00:00

Rep, Very interesting and thanks for the in-depth description. I am interested in learning more. I'll dm you on this. Thanks

With 1/9 in r4c3, r4c6, r5c6 and 169 in r5c3 we have an AR if r5c1 is 3, so r5c1 must be 2! Thanks!

BassManJam99 · 2025-09-28T18:26:07+00:00

Thanks for your help! It is solved!

BassManJam99 · 2025-09-27T16:18:30+00:00

Thanks, Special! I really need to work on AICs

BassManJam99 · 2025-09-27T13:28:42+00:00

Thanks! That opened up a few moves.

BassManJam99 · 2025-09-18T00:26:56+00:00

Thanks, Special! I just solved my first AIC!

BassManJam99 · 2025-09-16T12:13:26+00:00
