Welcome to BP, I myself am trying to break into the NYC market and it is a tough cookie to crack...I may have to look elsewhere.Best of luck to you!!

@Paul Cook i would not be so sure about the price per square foot to build, that depends vastly on a number of things.

I would much prefer to not work with the big banks and in my experience sometimes local lenders are not very sophisticated when it comes to non-cookie cutter conventional residential lending.For instance I recently worked with a local NC lender on a subdivision and construction loan which incurred unnecessary delays and thousands in additional expense, not due to the economics of the deal, but rather the bank's ignorance of the law and considerations that arise in subdivision/recombination of a plat.Go forward I would much prefer to work with lenders who are well versed in dealing with REI and avoid paying for the bank's learning curve and oversights.

Golly, I almost threw up my cookies just reading this post.

The more this deal progressed I learned there were three other siblings, their spouses and other relatives all with their hand in the cookie jar on this deal and they wanted it closed ASAP.

This works pretty well in cookie cutter or condominium complexes, but can be pretty far off (a flippers full profit margin) if in a diverse area.Sources for larger MF:Loopnet, Multifamily search in MLS, Commercial search in MLS.Best of Luck!! 

This is a national cookie cutter guru system.

Despite the fact that he was a phenomenal cook, I went to a McDonald's down the street to use the ladies room and never set foot inside his apartment ever again.

@David Cook - I would be glad to connect with you on that front!
