Hi Michael,A reason why the square footage may not have been included is if was not "finished". unfinished areas or attics, or areas only accessible through unfinished areas will not typically be included in the square footage.

Build cost 2 million ($240 per square foot for a 5400 square-foot duplex) (Sale price $650 per square foot valuating the duplex at 3.5 million) Upon stabilization, the properties market value is projected to be between 4.5 and 5 million.

So we're at square one.

You have to know what a Lot in that area is selling for and add on the cost of NEW Construction in that square footage to really know anything.

I'm also in school to advance in my field, which could increase my hourly rate to $80 after two more years.I recently bought my first house, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1500 square foot home.

The first is University Square, high in diversity low in cost of living, and it is ideal for new families and young students that are just getting started.

The home is about 1200 square feet. 2 bedrooms 1 bath on ½ acre in town.

I've done plenty in TX, WA and in AZ.

I lent $225,000 of which $185,000 was for the purchase of the property and $40,000 is going toward renovations.As a lender I just want to get back my loan amount back (in this instance $225,000) if there is a total loss with the property.I have seen where a lender tells the insurance agent how much property insurance he/she wants based on a price per square foot calculation.On the other hand I have also seen where a lender tells the insurance agent that the amount of property insurance should be the loan amount in this instance $225,000.
