Would this Renovation make sense
Have had this duplex for less then one year. Paid 220k with a current cash flow of around 10%. The surrounding properties are all 4-units (most of them are two separate du-plex on the same property if you notice the picture). We have enough land to add another 2 units and parking spaces. The land is zoned appropriately. We would be using hard money or a construction loan and try to refi after 6 months.
I just spoke with an architect and found out the construction costs are going to be around $250 per sqft. So these would be the numbers.
325k for construction
13k permits and misc
20k for architect (guessing on that number)
So lets call it $360,000 in total to build the two extra units.
Monthly rents for those two units would be around $1,400 each ($2,800 in total)
Is this even worth looking into? Thanks!
