No matter where you settle upon, your idea to build really comes down to your goals.

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. 

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

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.  

I'm at a point where I'm ready now.

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?

I am still pretty new to the area but I am ready to jump in and start investing in multi-families in the Albany and surrounding areas.
