A partner of mine and I are looking to start a 6-9 lot SFR development in an up-in-coming area in Los Angeles, CA. 

I'm a developer with ground up projects in the $20m-$40m range as well as multifamily acquisitions. 

So we decided in lieu of selling our house we'd rent it.It was kind of a hybrid situation with the PM - we'd spent some time developing a relationship - she managed a large 200-300 unit apartment complex and was the head PM there - she was familiar with the tenant as he'd rented at her apt complex for 2-3 years with no problems. 

They do have some pretty good looking software and a good organization system.

In such a short amount of time I've developed a passion for the business and love spending every chance I get to learn.

Dont know what new developments are coming, but there must be a lot. 

Hey Portland friends, I think I know the answer to my question, but I want to double check with those with more development experience.

I have a background in banking, development, technology, and public speaking.

Looking for students and recent grads in the Central Jersey Area interested in real estate investment and development to team up with.

I'm trying to develop my buying process so I'm hoping the community can give me some ideas and share their process with me.
