The cheapest part of a development project can also be one of the most dangerous.
The land may look perfect, but there can be major questions hiding underneath it.
The zoning may not allow the project you want to build.
The soil may create problems.
Utilities may not be where you need them.
There could be rock underground or environmental issues that change the entire project.
Even a beautiful piece of land may not have the legal right to become the project you planned.
That is why development starts long before construction.
Months can go into due diligence, entitlement, reports, and getting the legal right to build.
The dirt is only the starting point.
Would you feel comfortable investing in a development before all of these risks were fully checked?
