I'd start with picking one city and spending a lot of your time to do a deep dive building relationships and learning different areas.

I attend some of these events myself in CLE, and I usually find them on that site. 

If there were in fact permits pulled, then the city still has records of them. 

Good morning fellow investors, I am about to break ground on my first development project which entails adding 7 units on a lot that already has 2 units on it.

So outside of licensed electrician, plumber etc I ended up doing as much as possible myself, 5 hours every workday night and sun up to sun down on weekends.Looking back this was a huge adventure for me personally, it took me 2 years, I learned a lot and it made me a better investor.

Plus lots of landscaping needed. 

Maybe there also a lot to with the rest of your balance sheet as it relates to owning a $2 mil asset. 

This is a great place to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

@Denis Orlov I don't do STR, but I've rented one of my personal properties for arbitrage before.
