Redeveloping Property from Single family to small apartment building.
I own a property in San Diego that is zoned Rm-3-7. Based on some initial review I believe I should be able to build between 8 and 14 units on the property. I've done several residential sfh (currently own 16 units), but this would be my first time developing something.

Any suggestions on where to get started? Am I out of my depths?

Line up your financing, get drawings done, pull the permit approvals, send the drawings out to bid for a GC, and start building.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "hx5x5bi", "text": "Development is a different animal. Commercial is also much more complicated than SFH. Spend some time and educate yourself about all the steps in the development process. Its very hands on, requires a lot of cash, and can be quite risky. Development is all about mitigating risks.\n\nIf I were you, I'd start by discussing your plans with a planner, then talk with a cost consultant. The cost consultant will do a feasibility study possibly in conjunction with an appraiser and tell you if your proposed project is worth the hassle.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "hx6vpaz", "text": "Don't forget to underwrite impact fees, excise taxes and all the other crap the city/county/state shoves on you", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
