How hard would it be for me to transition into real estate development in New York or London?

Hello everyone,

I have over 5 years of experience working in REPE in London and want to switch to real estate development. I know it's not what people typically do as they would rather getting in REPE, but I am truly passionate about real estate and place-making, and want to be closer to that rather than simply moving numbers around. 

I am a US citizen so can work in the US.
