They may use those numbers, till educated....Need to factor things like linoleum hardware store counter-tops and on-sale appliances vs custom imported granite and stainless steel high end appliances, what type of flooring, etc....Price per sqft foot only works in kind-for-kind, cookie cutters, like condos with exact same features and view.

 Are they not cookie cutter apartments? 

@Tamika Calhoun  you may want to attend the RIG meetings in Jackson they are weekly I think

@Gary Dale McKeeGrant Cardone is likely saying that the stock market is a rigged game.  

(You can use their wire cutters to cut them down to fit in your car.)I agree with Jeremy and reach out to the bandit signs and other craigslist ads that you see.

Milwaukee is like a cookie cutter...

To add to that problem, both the City and County planners are very Liberal and DO NOT want cookie cutter neighborhood developments built.  

They're still a good option, as the big banks seem to be scared of any loan that isn't a cookie cutter loan for a homeowner with good credit and income.Lenders are not ok with the downpayment coming from borrowed sources.

For bigger jobs, anything involving manly tools, like saws or tile cutters, any work that could cause water intrusion, ask your laborer to carry general liability insurance to cover him/herself and his/her work.  

I charge a bit higher for my units than cookie cutter property management companies who have no pet policies.
