Quite frequently I get clients or friends who tell me, “I’d love to do what you do!” It is always lovely to hear and I try to share tips or tell them where to start or how I cut my teeth.
Lately, I’ve been doing online training. I ran across this free course from University of Michigan offered through Coursea. Curiosity got the best of me so I’ve not only taken it but want to promote it to anyone who has ever thought about dipping their toe in the real estate development pool.
The description the instructor gives about how a developer is like the conductor of an orchestra is spot on. It is not unlike real estate agency - juggling, juggling, juggling. This is probably why I enjoy it so much!
I never thought my career path would lead me to develop and become an advocate for housing choice! We need community-driven female developers — if you want to learn, please drop me a line!
This course has a deep community-driven component to it as well. And right now with all the craziness in the world right now, it feels like this is the right time to focus on mission driven development.
If you have thought about doing even just one project, I’d recommend this course. Reach out to me if you do - I’d love to hear what you are working on!
