@Kodie Altvater costs are ultimately a factor of 2 items, if you're efficient: labor+ materials.the goal is to arrive as close as possible to just those 2 factors with as little add-on as possible. add-on being profit, a companies overhead, etc. labor and materials are unavoidable (as well as other stuff like permits)....so how does one arrive at those costs?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.Closing one more SFR before 2016 arrives

In fact it's something I'm considering and the idea of buying my first property cash was to have a good starting point.Give me a call when you arrive in Dubai, it will be my pleasure to meet you!

Maybe @Steve Vaughan but they know the rent and specs before they arrive!

@Vince Futia  check with your local laws to see if they allow an extra amount for a pet deposit (not allowed here in NJ) and definitely ask for another $25-$50 per month depending upon the number, size and what type of pet it is.
