• Go back to courthouse, or place of auction
• put in upset bid, usually 5% over current bid, 
• wait 10 days,
• get ready to purchase, if no one upsets your bid.
• This is the process in NC, check your state regulations

It all depends on the location and local codes . My neighbor is a civil engineer . I asked him how much to build a campground .  Now for water , sewer , electric , roads , and sites ,and all the site work  it was $75,000 per pad . This doesnt include  Store/office building , maintenance building , real expensive water feature/ swimming pool , shuffle board , bounce pillow , and all the maintenance equipment , tractors , mowers , backhoe , skidsteer . then there is the golf carts that you rent , game room , laundry room , etc . 

Now all this DOES NOT  include the cost of the LAND 

@Jon Schwartz what are you trying to accomplish with your data? Too much will fog your results. If you're looking for "good" multifamily markets i'd add the affordability index (I like places where it's still affordable to live) I would add landlord friendly states, barriers to new construction, housing starts, job diversification (by industry), and a bunch of others. All depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
