@Caleb Brown Average MLS listings for duplexes are around $500k.

Close times are 45-60 days on average.  

I tried downloading the BP app for my iPhone 12pro and the App Store said that the app is no longer available.

Appreciation has climbed here in Waco, so I get that part, but from a cash flow standpoint, I would need to make offers on average 20% below list price to make any single deal work for me. 

@Frank Rodrigues: I own a duplex in Dana Point, but if I went out of state, the most important piece would be cash-flow and property management since CA tends to appreciate well (50 year average is 7.3%), but doesn't have the same cash flow at all that other states can provide.

I hope all your ventures are going well,I am beginning a new construction project and was wondering what the average cost is for site prep.The lots are flat at .023 acres each.  

*IF* over the next 5-7 years, this appreciates an average of 3% per year, I've done what I needed vis a vis ROI.  

Recently rents have been averaging 1/2% of the purchase price.

The average home price in Mira Mesa is around $850,000 so I will assume you are comfortable with those prices.

ON my personal stuff my average exit price is about 650k for the product we own build and sell !!
