Cash in on profitable land development opportunities

Anyone can take advantage of the opportunities in land development with the step-by-step advice in R. Dodge Woodson's A-Z primer, Be a Successful Residential Land Developer.

You learn how to: *Tie up and control land with very little cash and plenty of escape clauses *Tap into both conventional and creative financing sources *Get favorable bids from subcontractors *Deal with zoning and code enforcement issues *Reduce neighborhood resistance and handle boards of appeal *Put together a professional team and effectively supervise the project *Develop post-development marketing and sales plans *Much, much more

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Start
I found this book to contain a great wealth of information. I did not expect to find the meticulous details of every facet of land development, rather a good overview, and this book provides that. Anyone seriously interested in land development will need to do a great deal of additional study in technical publications and local state, county and city codes. This topic is so broad that I doubt any single book could cover all the issues involved. If you're looking for a primer and are prepared to dig deeper, this book is for you. If you're looking for a single comprehensive book on every detail of land development please let me know when you find it!


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A waste of money
Elementary discussion of land development. Lacks detail and interest.
the accompanying "checklists and forms" are not in a format that can be manipulated. Nothing is in Word as the description suggests, all in PDF format. Not useful at all.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Nothing New Here
Lets face it......if you know anything at all about developing land, the absolute critical item is actually finding a piece of property that makes sense to wast time pursuing. I bought this book hoping to find some insight into ways of "finding" that elusive "good fit" property that maybe I have not thought of. Nothing new here, just some odball potential sources of finding property that just waste your time


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Intro to development that could be half as long
A fairly useful overview that describes the issues a developer has to address, but not much about how to address them. For some reason the author tends to repeat himself. He says something and then restates it. He makes the same point twice.

He also tends to be rather vague: "Some aspects of site supervision can be dealt with in many ways. Some ways are more cost-effective than others." The book is full of statements like this.

I have found the book useful to help me identify issues that I need to think about, but if you are looking for answers--this book isn't for you. It should be titled, "What to Expect as a Land Developer."
