Building 4-8 units in Broward county, need some help

[Jason Etheridge]

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a little advice on building in Broward county, Florida.

I’m interested in building either two separate 4 unit 2/2’s or a commercial build of one 8 unit with 2/2’s. I’m told doing a single building is much more cost effective. I’m not looking to build luxury units but also not the cheapest look. Is there any way I can get around 100-125 per square foot for a build like this? If I hire a GC to do the whole project it definitely would be easier on me but maybe the most cost effective way is to work with a GC and and fit all of the pieces together myself? This would be my first build.
