Pat & JasperTurning investment visions into REALITY in Phoenix, AZ - Ranked #1 for residential real estate growth and opportunity by PwC

Quote from @Keaton Sheffert: Hello BiggerPockets Users,I am looking for advice on how to best convince my local zoning commission to accept our proposal for a rezoning from residential to commercial (for apartments).Background: My business partner and I are hoping to begin our first development in 2025 in our small town in Southern MI.

When you own leveraged real estate you're getting at least a 4.5% return just on the debt the resident is servicing.

I am interested in working for a REIT firm or a private investor who can show me the ropes of investing in residential, commercial, and/or multifamily real estate.

You said your were interested in investing in commercial real estate but don't know where to start.The thing to know about commercial real estate, like residential investment real estate, is property management is where you make your money (aside from buying well).

.- My Strategy: I'd like to buy and hold residential rental properties.

There are continue developments (residential and commercial). 

Sometimes this happens as zoning changes over time but the residential use remains legal.

Welcome,BP is undoubtedly an excellent platform for both networking and enhancing your knowledge. 

As Marshall said we will need to know breakdown between residential and commercial, exact business types, and square footage + income breakdown for residential and commercial units.
