Anyone here have experience developing land for residential rental units? Aside from studying the zoning ordinances & applicable local government websites, what are some good resources for learning how to get started/meet other investors/developers focused on multi-unit residential development?

I just started this year as I find it cheaper to buy land and build vs buy right now. I am working with a local builder whom I know from properties they have built around town. I spent time with them walking through my goals and plans. They are soup to nuts, handle all the dirt zoning, site planning and contract surveyors, all construction. I’ve read a number of books on development (traveling and I don’t recall them off the top of my head) and have found good resources on YouTube as well. I would start talking to builders. Buy a lot. That force you to focus

Thank you for your response D1- for you or anyone else, how do you handle gaining community support for the project(s), or is that generally not a big issue? I’m looking to add 12 units which isn’t huge but definitely is above the threshold in this bedroom community where neighbors will care. I have started paying attention to local groups on facebook where new development are often debated, and generally I get the sense that any development will be rallied against in this area. I plan to make them more affordable than other local new multi-units and consistent with the surrounding neighborhood in terms of style, but what else can I do to pre-empt potential opposition?

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller. Is lender just trying to push this along faster? I'm pretty sure in this crazy market the home is not valued at what we offered. Why would seller put a much lower asking price then? Make no sense. Please advise!

I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?
