Replace investment anxiety with a step-by-step development playbook
Launching your first development shouldn’t feel like gambling your life savings—yet many beginners stay up at night scared of three things:
- “What if I miss-price the deal and lose my own money?”
- “What if I botch the permits and the project stalls?”
- “Who’s going to guide me when the contractor or lender speaks another language?”
You don’t have to face those risks alone. Infill In Action training walks you through every step—underwriting, zoning, budgets, and builder selection—so you can move from nervous first-timer to informed, risk-aware developer who knows exactly how to protect capital and hit project milestones.

What made this course different is the hands-on experience. Having a real project to follow, while learning directly from someone actually building it, gave me a much deeper understanding. Other courses covered the fundamentals, but this one let me truly grasp how things work in practice.

The lessons are rich in content, each one accompanied by two to three real-life examples that clearly outline both cost and opportunity benefits. Van and Maria are incredibly responsive and knowledgeable when answering questions. I especially appreciate the multiple site visits, which bring the course material to life and provide invaluable hands-on experience.

This program brilliantly combines the theoretical knowledge from online classes with hands-on, onsite experiences. Having some real estate experience from my home country, I’ve found this course incredibly valuable in learning how development is done here in Canada. Van and Maria are both highly knowledgeable and very approachable, making the learning process engaging and supportive. One of my favorite parts of the program is the opportunity to network with other student-developers—it’s inspiring to connect with like-minded individuals on the same journey.
