Todd, 

First of all I want to thank you for documenting the details of this project. I'm an investor in Cobb and North Atlanta and have learned a ton from this post. Keep it up, it's a wealth of information and education. Thanks for being a teacher.

I live in North Atlanta. My CPA is fantastic and brilliant. Rob Skinner.

I pay a friend who I've owned property with before 2% points and 12%. The hard money lenders here want 5%/15%. I've seen 3/13 in my market as well. 

It's even messier than that Todd. I have to get an easement to tap sewer from a neighboring commercial property that has six or seven owners. Could be tough, but I've got a 30 day due diligence and if I play my cards right and can get the easement plus rezoning, it might be a good land flip or perhaps a townhouse development with some financing help. Thanks for the help. I've been around builders for 10 years, but development, that's a new animal for me. Thankfully I have a friend that owns a construction management company that can price it out from start to finish. 

Is there a ballpark number on the price per lineal foot of installing sewer pipe? I know there are variables, but assuming a normal, wooded parcel of land that has enough pipe to handle 8 to 12 dwellings, how much per foot? Or is it even calculated this way. Any help would be much appreciated. 

I'm a member of several car forum sites and I have the ability to sort by the number of posts to see the number of replies. This usually gives the ability to see the hot posts vs most that are not so hot. Is there a way to search for the most popular posts on the forums? 

Hey Brandon, I still see the ads. I wonder why, I'm a pro member. 

You can get micro-market style data through a good realtor who likes numbers. That said, if you don't plan on using them to buy or sell, you might be able to pay some of them $50/hour. That's not enough for me to sit and do it, but I can get you a referral if you're interested. What kind of data are you wanting? Also, not sure the commercial data is going to be easy to get.
