Finding Duplex/Triplex/Fourplex Zoned Land in Montgomery County PA

[Sanil Subhash Chandra Bose]

I am finding land to build a ground-up duplex-quadplex in Montogomery County, PA. I have an investment arranged to build it sometime next year. Although I am doing ground-up for the first time, I have a lot of experience in county buying and holding for long-term asset building and cash flow. 

I am struggling to find land that is zoned for multi-family. Is there a strategy that I can apply to find land?

The municipalites you target will have zoning maps available on their municpality website. By way of example, I focus on land development opportunities in Philadelphia and the atlas website is very helpful. While most municipalities do not possess an interative map as easy to use, once you famiarlize yourself with the base zoning districts that allow the 2-4 unit buildings, relying on the local zoning maps will help direct you to the specific areas within the municipality that possesses the proper zoning. From there you can identify properties that possess the base zoning and characteristics you are seeking.
