Hi, I own a 41,00 sf parcel of land in Oceanside about 1.5 miles from the beach. It currently has a 3/2 main house that is my residence and a 1/1 permitted ADU. I have a vision of building 3 houses and 3 ADU's (4 lot split) but I have never completed a project of this type and scale (I have renovated, flipped etc...) I am looking for assistance with getting this project off the ground. Primarily initially with parcel mapping.

I have received bids from local surveyors who want $90k + for the parcel mapping service for a 4 lot split. My loan guy has told me that I need to come out of pocket for this but if I do so I will not have the down payment necessary to secure the construction loan. I am also struggling to understand what type of improvements the city will require in order to build on the property. 

Thanks for reading!

Happy to buy a coffee locally for an individual interested to discuss :)

@Bill Exeter Could you also send to me, I am in Oceanside and in need of a tax professional familiar with real estate investing, thx.

Thanks All, DM's sent!

Hi All,

This is my first post here, been very impressed with the community on these forums and would like to reach out.

I am based out of SD North County and have a background in Architecture and Construction Management, currently work a W-2 job as a designer with a large architecture firm.

My background in real estate investing includes flipping 6 SFH to date, some of which I built ADU's and managed renters; I consider myself an intermediate to experienced SFH flipper but a beginner at multifamily.

I am also currently working through the prep courses to take the California real estate exam for salespeople with the goal to enable commission to be made on purchase/sale of projects in the future; I have paid so much commission on previous projects!

Looking to step up to multifamily projects, meet/partner with new investors, and contribute to a community of like-minded folks.
