Building from the ground up sounds exciting — but it often means higher risk, unpredictable costs, and years with no cash flow.

You’ll learn:

- Why new construction projects can tie up capital for years with no returns

- The hidden risks of rising material costs, labor shortages, and regulatory delays

- How market timing and interest rates can derail development deals

- The tax advantages of buying existing assets
