From Flips to 28+ New Builds: How to Start Real Estate Development & Make $150K+ Per House

Video Description

Stop chasing comps...create them! In this field breakdown, Tone Royal, a young developer currently building 28 homes at once, shows exactly how he’s building modern houses, subdividing land, and pulling six-figure profits per project—without “starting small” with wholesaling or flips.
