I've also met with a developer who said he looks to "double" on every deal  - meaning he is spending 200k for land/permits/materials/labor and targets a 400K sales priceIn my area, 4 units+ is the trigger point for all sorts of additional complicated planning reviews and requirements, curbs/gutters, traffic studies, environmental reviews, etc...       

Some roaches realize an enzyme when they die that triggers other around them to breed.You'll want to find a bate product which they will eat, take back to their dwelling, and kill their entire family LOLThese are actually more environmentally friendly as well. 

They all talk and there aren't tons if them.Examples of vaid reasons may include things like undisclosed or unobvious environmental issues,  title issues/delays, government agency delays, original document delays and things that are out if your control.  

Possible oil dumping issues are coming up in the Phase 1 environmental.    

Then once you are working on the deal, you'll continue to update the numbers to make sure you are tracking.Good you are getting GC costs, but make sure you get all your soft costs, insurance, architect, CE, MEP/S, soils, environmental (Phase 1) if needed, condo map completion, dept. of real estate condo map sales process costs, etc.My observation at this point is that my ability to guide you through the process via BP posts will be very limited.

If you are considering a larger multi-family, there would be additional things to check like employee records, reserve funds, review of bank accounts, environmental assessment, and more.

If major CEQA processing is required, such as a full Environmental Impact Report, hire and manage an environmental consulting company for the production of the EIR and all necessary CEQA documents required for the completion of the environmental review.

I come from a professional commercial construction background with a Bachelors in Interior & Environmental Design and I currently work from home in E-Commerce/Marketing (hoping to blend all these backgrounds into a real estate investing :) I had a specific opportunity recently come up that I'm needing some advice on...

More inventory would solve this situation of affordable housing, but we have all the environmental concerns in this state.
