Hello Luke G. in Wisconsin, David Ginn is certainly sounding the alarm on the obvious "Economic Cliff" that we are headed for.

If you feel in over your head, find a money partner that has more experience in your area.

Hi Garrett,Just off the top of my head, here are some of the steps you might want to take.Seek a construction lender for the job as as well as a lender for when you are stabilized.Find out what the Lender Requirements are for YOU (and your Partners and Co-signers) and for the Project, and work to meet the requirements.Open your dialog with a Lender(s) early on, and keep an eye on interest rates if they flux up you may want to reconsider doing your build.Talk to an Architectural Firm (that has built recently in the area) apartments of the size and type you are wanting.Ask them for some rough (You Spend) figures with timelines on them and see if that matches your Vision for the project (be ready to take out your checkbook for this).If it's a GO, have them recommend a General Contractor for the job (that has built recently in the area) apartments of the size and type you are wanting.If there are tax incentives tied to the project for certain renter classes have your CPA figure that into your projections.Consider any "Dirtwork" (soil engineering for poor soil) or required "Drainage" costs on your chosen site (or shortlist of sites).If it's a GO, tie up legal control of your building site.Note: Big construction can Bite you in a Big way if you have little experience in it.

Other than that you hit the nail on the head with the LLC and county information.
