Might be worth give some sort of new listing special.I have a couple helpful resources (spreadsheets, checklists) I have compiled over the years.

@DuBeaux Dingle I would start compiling a list of multifamily properties you would be interested in listing.

Most will answer your questions about the size, amenities, price, etc.Costar compiles data on a national level by interviewing multi family apartment complexes in as many markets as possible.

I try to gather as much as I can throughout the process from the other party, which can definitely compile on if it is a long negotiation (sometimes spanning years).

I have been compiling a list of potential investors for a while now.

Here are some more compilations: Deal Structures: 1.

A developers "units" could be build ready lots, platted lots, improved lots as in with units on them, and any compilation of all of the above.     

Basically the city sends their own inspector out who compiles a list of items that are required to be fixed usually within 3-6 months of taking ownership. 

We are compiling a list so that once the date and location are set we can directly notify people who were interested.
