The Pre-Development Blueprint
Securing Land and Structuring Your Project.
Land is the first place where a high-design project can quietly go wrong. This module covers zoning as it is actually practiced, site analysis for sun, slope, soil and water, the professional inspections every buyer needs and the three or four most owners skip, and the entity, tax and insurance decisions that determine how the project will be taxed, financed and eventually sold.
