 @Bruce Woodruff I would like to do a much smaller single family townhouse for starters and than work my way up over the years .  Any advice would be greatly appreciated 

 Don;t start in new construction....specially not on this level. You will get your butt handed to you. Start small and easy and work your way up. Do you have any hands-on construction experience?

 The 9 unit was only two lots. The lot in between would have gotten me enough square footage to utilize the green roof bonus which would have gotten me 3 additional lots on top of the 4 by right the lot allowed. As far as taxes, I suspect it will be much higher at some later date, as of now the appraised value for tax purposes is only at $1m or so. I'm not complaining and it doesn't make a difference for the next 10 years, so they can appraise it at where they like, for now! 

 Yeah, what I was saying when she was paying for all the changes, she may just be in the architect directly, paying for the kitchens directly etc I talked to a few builders I know supply houses sometimes front of lllstuff they can on credit and add a percent, and then I only need to raise so much less

Thank you all for your suggestions. I was able to find a lender who was willing to lend based on credit profile and up to 80% LTV even though i dont have experience. I am thinking of giving all the work to GC so the lender asked that i got with some approved GC so he feels comfortable work will be done correctly.
