Just search and study :)I hope this helps and best of luck on your journey James!

I'll just add myself to the list of people trying to find hope in long island REI 

This is my first deal, and I’ve come across an obstacle that I’d hope someone would have an answer to.

Hopefully you have some local boots on the ground that can help with coordinating the work. 

Hope that helps!

Hope that wasn't too strong a negative response, but Eau Claire is a rough area and would hate to see you or your friend fail because you don't know the area.May I ask what street it is on?

I'm hoping that will change this year.

However, I will tell you that I sold 1 property last month but I used those funds to pick one up next month, and I hope to close on another one in January.

Anyone who has gone through a successful ground up multifamily development please reach out, i would love to pick your brain on the process  Having just gone through a building project in the last few years in Whatcom County it is hard for me to adequately explain how difficult the County makes any kind of development.The cost for permitting and all the associated consultants for a project of any size will be quite significant and need to be budgeted for carefully with plenty of contingencies in my opinion.The strategy the county planning department uses is to make every effort to run up your costs and delays as much as possible in the hope you will give up and go away so development doesn't happen.  

Hopefully some of the answers many generously shared here helped, David.
