The Homeowner Developer
You already own the most expensive part of any project: the land. This path teaches you to read your zoning, uncover the buildable potential hiding in your lot, and decide — with real numbers — whether to add an ADU, build a multiplex, renovate, or sell.
22 BIRCHWOOD LANE · R-3
The path you'll learn — turning a single lot into a financed, build-ready multiplex.
Who this path is for
If any of these sound like you, you can finish this path and walk into a conversation with a builder, lender, or city planner already knowing the answers.
From "I own a lot" to "here's my project"
Five modules, each built around one decision. Work through them in order, or jump to the one you're stuck on.
What you build by the end of the path
A scheme card you could hand to a builder or lender — massing, unit mix, and the numbers that make the case.
Illustrative scheme — built from your real parcel, zoning, and local cost assumptions.
What you'll be able to do
Learn the concept, then run it on your real lot
Every module pairs with a UnlockLand feature so you apply each idea to your own address, not a textbook example.
