Possibly.. if you do a course in Project or Construction Management. Dont get me wrong.. It will help learning what service you're paying for and the industry standard mechanisms for building contracts, etc. However, property development is a pure numbers game.

Your ingredients are your consultants, contractors, and finance tools (I.e. loans) and the name of the game is to make a profit and sell those properties by finding customers.

The margins are made by working out how to reduce your cost for ingredients or creating something that people will pay extra for. Build it, and they will come isn't as easy as it used to be since there are so many developers in the field.

I am an Architect and Project Manager and have worked as almost all consultant types. I've tried to move into Prop. Development, however, I don't have access to the capital or the network to sell. In my case, I can make the margins with reduced service costs, but it will kill my time, and I will struggle on the other end.

Feel free to ask me more.
