(Yes, start with residential real estate -- it's more forgiving.) Are you handy or willing to learn? Are you willing to put in sweat equity to save yourself a buck? Do you like people, and are you will to put up with having tenants?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.
I have a question, related to this : Where can i find the most succesful / successful R.E investors ?
I presume these guys don't have the time to go to seminars, only beginners go to these events..
It would be great to know where i can find one and speak with him and why not having him for mentor for future investments.

I've found them to be of all types: busy/not busy, going to seminars/not going. Getting out and talking to one will lead to another and so on. The key is to start communicating. When you find someone that interests you, take them to coffee/lunch.I have a question, related to this : Where can i find the most succesful / successful R.E investors ?

Thank you. Great idea. I'll do thatGo to your local investor meet ups and start to learn from the community. You need to figure out what you want to do and start to identify your route to getting there. Development requires capital and a good amount of knowledge when it comes to your city's planning and zoning. You'll most likely want to partner with someone that knows what they're doing so you can have the opportunity to get first hand experience.
