Developing a 4 acre 36 unit complex from the ground up

[Jonathan Jaffe]

I have an opportunity to partner into a deal to develop a 4+ acre apartment complex in a great location. Medical complexes abound, high rent luxury apartments have 6 month waiting lists nearby. I'm so new at the REI game, I am really not sure where to start on due diligence to determine if the deal is a good one. Any advice on how to start and make the research manageable in small chunks so this doesn't seem so overwhelming is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you all in advance!
