What we found was only one other person contracted under $200 per square foot for clients and they also built within the city of columbus. the numbers have a much higher premium the closer you get to downtown. if you can't get the numbers to work my recommendation would be to get closer to downtown. we do build to rent development and single family home development and every line item is broken out. on the triples we have to build exterior staircases etc there are some things you can't really understand unless you build a lot. hope that helps but no one is going to build you for 110 a square foot. the lowest cost homes in our market at cost without a profit barely dip into 140 a square and we are in one of the cheapest construction markets and states in the country. 

Having someone come in late in the bidding process who is jumping by more than the minimum CAN help shut action down.

The other platforms can sometimes help, but they’re not as reliable.

Randy  Thanks for the quick and helpful answer.

:@David Krulac  since we last talked about due diligence on foreclosed properties, I have been reading up on how to minimize risk and have few questions that I hope you can help me out in this example.The subject property is owned by the bank in Delaware county,PA .

I hope that helps! 

If you're helping me fund a section 8 SFH, then no.
