Author of the highly acclaimed and entertaining book, Making it in Real Estate: Starting Out as a Developer, John McNellis will kick off the evening discussing his own career and then moderate a panel of Bay Area developers of varying experiences, product type, and geographic areas as they share the challenges, rewards, and lessons learned in starting their own real estate development firms.
