Hi Heather,
Long time no see! Hope all is well.
I can recommend “Real Estate Development Workbook and Manual” by Howard Zuckerman and George Blevins. It’s on Amazon. I’ve used it for years as a master checklist for development projects.
The only drawback is that it was written in 1991, so none of the spreadsheets (and there are many) are on CD, and the software mentioned is now obsolete. But for a detailed explanation of the development process, checklists for everything imaginable, and as a guide for how to put projects together, it is a complete and comprehensive text.
