Building a small apartment complex in LA

[Jordan Berry]

I have a property that I bought with owner financing. It is currently a laundromat that I also own. The property was recently re-zoned to R-4 with a Q condition that seems like it effectively makes it an R-3. Assuming it is zoned R-3, I can build up to 6 units on the property. My goal is to get this small apartment complex built on the property. Would anyone be willing to point me in the right direction towards some productive first steps toward accomplishing that goal? I haven’t found too many books, blogs, or podcasts about building multi family housing, nor have I met too many people building small apartments in LA at the meet ups I’ve been to. I’m feeling stalled out at the moment and could use a jumpstart. Much obliged.
