Thanks for the responses. I am aware of the process for getting developments approved, and I am curious about how some of that is actually accomplished. I have seen projects go up where you wonder "How did THAT get approved?", and yet somebody knew how to make it happen. 

In any case, I wonder if a smaller project (say 4 units) that is on the smaller side with square footage can be built comparatively inexpensively. Now it's getting into the builder side of things. It's all fun stuff to learn. 

I am curious if there are any Milwaukee area developers on this forum. I have a lot in Menomonee Falls which is surrounded by single family homes, but is within a zone that the long-term plan for the Village identifies as being designated for multi-family housing. Across the street is the beginning of a condo development, but with the condos priced in the $400s, I don't see many (if any) sales.

With that in mind, I'd like to speak with someone about the potential for the lot. The Village planner said he'd approve a 2-unit, but developers have a way of making bigger things happen. 

Thanks @Bob E., I am happy with him, but he does not cover many areas I am interested in. I would appreciate contact info for Ms. Mayes. Thank you.

@Bob E., that is probably the best way to have it done. My property manager is buried with other projects, and not available for anything else right now. 

I am looking at real estate that could use some TLC, but I would like someone who can a.) quickly ballpark a rehab cost, and/or b.) manage the rehab of that project. Some of this is simple like coordinating floor sanding, painting, etc., but I've got this darn day job, and can't do it myself. Can anyone recommend people for what I am looking for in the Milwaukee area?
