Multi-family development..LOST in the Sauce!🥴

[Johnny McKeon]

Hey BP 👋

I have 0.98 acres zoned for multi family in Apache Junction, AZ.
the city says up to 22 units on 1-acre can be built. i also own the adjacent 6-unit apartment building. One of the Principal Planners for the city said I could possibly combine the 2 parcels to get over 1 acre.

also, a local owner just Built a 10-unit apartment building across the street from me so that's a good sign.

I want to develop apartments but

1. Where do I even begin and start?

2. who do I go to 1st? An architect or a general contractor? or someone else?

I don't even know if this is financially feasible to develop.

3. How or who can I get a rough idea of what My total All-in costs will be?

my experience is buying existing apartment buildings and adding value thru renovations .
If you need me to clarify any questions let me know

Thank you for the help & guidance! i really appreciate it 🙏
