You have to find a zip code that has a prevalence of multifamily and a pathway to build multifamily.

I invest in land and have done entitlement/zoning and other DD work successfully for years.A broker called me this morning on a property I have on a busy interesection and has a QSR client who likes the location, but does not want to do a ground lease, only a build to suit. 

Quote from @Matt McNabb: I'm a solid $400k/yr job in NYC and have $250k to begin investing as my first step into building a portfolio, although I don't have time to be a landlord so I have to account for management fees.  

Many of our borrowers/clients have one LLC that owns the building and another than own the operating business.

Just curious what people have ran across to build these days?

Since you said you are selling your building I’d argue you already have been a real estate investor.

I would like to build a duplex on it for long term rental income.

And as others have posted, make sure you are using a good title an escrow company to facilitate this.

At a high level, the system ingests raw documents from the recorder's offices, building permits, zoning permits, market data, and other auxiliary datasets.
