single family home face list

[Amir K.]

hi all,

I'm starting to look into my next deal and i want this one to be a SFH. so far I've done only condos (2) and I have done all the work myself (minus electrical).

my question to you experienced contractors and developers is, how much will it cost to turn something like this (only exterior work)

to something like these

i understand there are many variables, i'm just looking for a rough number, 10s? 100s of thousands?

do you have to tear down an old house and build a new one to achieve this? because all of the new houses i see still have the sidings like older homes, only the front is modernize. what makes me believe they built it over the old frame.

i should point out I'm in Chicago.

thanks in advance!
