Hello BP community:I am under contract on some land that I am considering building multifamily on.It appears I can build approximately 80 units on the land (based on permitted density), which could be more or less units depending on the exact style of units we would construct (one or two story, etc).

You're running a business and knowing your customers to maximize returns is important.

Leasing agent, maintenance guy, property manager, city hall-economic development, building permits. 

Another issue is the gas station includes a liquor store so opening a new company to buy out business would mean losing the age of liquor license which may be beneficial in the future if they pass a law on permitting more liquor licenses to existing holders. 

Conversations with a person land so much better than a message thru FF.Also it is helpful to know that most Corporate Housing companies or Insurance Agencies that are trying to find housing for their customers and reach out to you, they do finds leads on FF.  

Someone suggested going for a student housing rezoning permit but I don't want it to take up a huge portion of the time of my contract or cost exorbitant amounts of money..

@Jennifer Taylor First  answer this: Do you currently operate your properties with all proper permits and licenses?

An architect or structural engineer needs to provide you with load-bearing plans for permit with the city or confirm the wall is NOT load-bearing. ($1300 for plans if only a wall--I pay $3500 for a site visit by them and close to full gut of kitchen/baths/door moves/wall removals)  Do not skip the permit!!!!  

I am a spreadsheet junkie, so of course, I also built my own custom underwriting calculator!  

As a licensed mortgage broker I'm further compliantly (and confidently) able to provide mortgage insight and direct the customer to the most suitable lending partner or program.
