Dear Bigger Pocket members,I have a group of out of the country investors which are very interested to invest in new construction development in Los Angeles, mostly multiunit projects.I would love to get some experts opinion on the subject.Acquisition costs, prices to build per sf, average lot (ready to build) and any other useful info.I am aware that I may not asking all the right questions, but I have to start somewhere.Thank you !  

Most L/Os done in states elsewhere would violate NC statute.
