Are you wondering how to find a subdividable property that stacks up?… There’s quite a bit you should be looking at before you close the deal. 

To help you get an extensive understanding, I’m bringing in one of my previous guests. My good friend, Jay Sidhu from Vision Surveys Consulting, is back for another 2-part episode.

And wait for Part 2 where we’ll be covering costings, doing a feasibility, how much you should pay for it, the timing and strategy for developing that property including how to uncover some hidden potentials
