It doesn't matter too much how many partition walls you put inside the house, just take the overall square footage and multiply x the construction cost per foot for the area. That should be somewhere between $225 and 300 per SF for what you're considering.....so 1500 = $375,000 ish. Those window walls will add a LOT to the cost, they're usually about $1000 per lineal foot. And of course a pool is not in your budget right now.

I agree with @Chris Carr, check out Wonder Valley or surrounding areas. IF they're not already saturated....

Thank you both so very much, truly appreciated 💗 

So I'm not sure if I'm in the right area...

I'm seeing here that this is more of a site for investors, which were not necessarily interested in buying or building for an airbnb, we are very interested, however, in building a home that we will live in & then rent out or make our existing home in Kenosha Wisconsin which is on Lake Michigan an airbnb.

We know NOTHING about buying a lot & then building.

That said,  We have been trying to figure out how we get the most Bang for our buck buying existing property or building our own home.

We have been seeing some amazing properties around 50K in Yucca Valley and/or 29 palms that list having water and electric available nearby.

We want simple clean lines,  I suppose what would be considered modern contemporary but I hate putting that title on it because for some reason it seems like there's an upcharge just by using that description, lol...

And again at the risk of sounding naive & being real honest here... we know nothing about building, seemingly, it wouldn't be too ridiculously expensive to build say a rectangular 1500 ft² house on a slab where all you really had was an open kitchen to living room and then on either end of that a master with a bathroom other end 2 bedrooms with a bathroom in between.

The main thing which, I know is probably the most cost (and this is going from an amazing airbnb I stayed in with girlfriends called the skyhouse, which I zillowed by the way worth $650000 our budget only about $350 K)


We want both sides of the big main room (kitchen & living room) to have  Florida ceiling collapsible windows so that you can have a complete open field in the good weather.


A pool would be amazing but can come later.

HELP???
