Guest: Jason Boccinfuso, Real Estate Investor & Land Developer

In today’s episode, Daniel St-Jean interviews Jason Boccinfuso about land development and pre-construction opportunities. Jasons says that development is like blank canvas painting! You have to have a vision and understand the constraints you have to work with. Access to services is essential: sewer, water, roads, internet, and more. Knowing where the growth is happening is another must in order to be successful. The money is made on the purchase, not on the sale. You have to make the right decision and build equity right from the start. As a developer, you need to know the official plan very well as this will dictate what kind of development you can pursue with the land you will be acquiring.

Guest: Carina Guzmán, Real Estate Investor & Land Developer

Carina started out with buy and hold properties and then quickly got into land development. She even planned her second pregnancy leave from work so that she could work on her real estate projects. Carina now looks for undervalued land that could be re-zoned and valued differently. She goes through soil testing, environmental studies, and much more! Due diligence is very long and expensive. She puts a property under contract right away and then focuses on what’s next? 95% of the work is due diligence: creating the concept, highest and best use, pre-consultation with the city, and much more. A lot of upfront capital investment is required for these types of projects so make sure to be well equipped before proceeding! The risks are big but the rewards are enormous. Tune in for tons of useful information.
