Learn to create wealth from real estate — not just earn fees. You've spotted the opportunities. You've wondered what it would take to get inside the deal, own the upside, and build something that pays you for years, not a one-time commission check.

The Development Intensive is a one-day working session for serious real estate professionals — taught by a Chief Development Officer who has led projects with a combined projected value of $1.5B+ and directed $115M+ in land acquisitions.

The Course

What You'll Walk Away With

This is not theory. It is the working map developers use.

01

Finding & Sourcing Deals

Where developers actually find opportunities — and how to identify, evaluate, and position yourself on deals before anyone else sees them.

02

The Full Development Map

How a deal moves from raw land or underperforming asset to a finished, leased-up project — and where value gets created at each step.

03

How Developers Decide if a Deal Works

How to underwrite land, model costs, pressure-test assumptions, and evaluate whether a project pencils — or dies.

04

The Approval and Entitlement Process

What it actually takes to get a project permitted and approved — and why this is the phase most people underestimate.

05

How the Capital Stack Comes Together

Debt, equity, preferred returns, waterfalls — how development deals get funded and how to position yourself as a partner or co-developer.

06

The Language, Questions, and Presence of a Developer

How to talk about opportunities with credibility and carry yourself in the rooms where development decisions get made.

Bonus

Your Clearest Path In

A framework for what kind of project, role, or strategy fits your market and resources — and what a realistic first step looks like. This is your on-ramp into actual deals.
