Hi everyone, Brooklyn, NY native working in the SoCal and NYC residential & mixed use market. 

Hello Bigger Pockets WorldMy Name is Andrew, Im a native Maryland 'er, born and raised.

I'll detail more about the project below but wanted to lead with my goals in posting.TLDR;  Interested in links, advise, discussion, warnings, etc for proactively anticipating the next steps involved in planning, designing, constructing and managing large development projects from a General Partner and Owner's Agency role.The general state:- Partnered with owner contributing wholly owned lot with appropriate zoning for ~18 story mixed use set of towers (5 in total under current rough plan)- Very qualified architecture team signed on to deliver plan for design process- High level contacts with multiple potential building partners showing interest- Multiple funding options available in line with needs for initial tower's expected costsThe vision:- Emphasis on active community engagement and development- Net positive Electricity, Water and (as much as possible/practical under constraints) Food- Tightly integrated with surrounding environment with funds allocated to remediation and improvements of native ecology and community/pedestrian oriented accessibility- Digital nervous system (I have a technology background) with sensors to drive efficiencies and create digital connections between the various building components and it's residentsThanks to all for providing such a fun community!

This is my first property and maybe I've spoken with 7 to 10 prospects and none of them reacted one way or another to my request.

If anyone else is familiar with or has experience purchasing or holding duplexes, triplexes, and rental properties in Sacramento, I would love the opportunity to connect with you and hear your insight and discuss the area.I'm not local or native to the Sacramento area so there are some gaps in my knowledge that I am still looking to fill, but several of my friends and colleagues have recommended me to avoid "battleground" areas such as the Arden area and Oak Park.

For me, the problem comes when I'm not organized the night before with EXACTLY what items I want to attack in order to GROW my business.Unfortunately, I tend to do the pressing items and then spend the rest of the day 'reacting' - to calls, emails, ideas, etc.I usually don't spend the rest of the day ATTACKING a growth plan.Does anyone share my pain at times?

She is known to have high standards (I'm a native and this is her reputation in Tucson).
