I'm interested in real estate development and I've been for many years but I've never known where to begin. I'm 36 years old and now would like to begin but now so confused as to where to begin. I have done some research online and also read through threads here on FastLane and many advise to just go out there and begin. but HOW?? I'm interested in commercial real estate. Or is residential better? I'm ready to dive into every zoning law book there is.

I would appreciate every advice. I need it. I need to know and understand what awaits me.
