We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.

The mismatch in bed/bath count and the existing septic system capacity are important factors to consider.

For certain areas annual pest control may be needed for colder areas maybe you run the risk of freezing pipes.

I would recommend spending your morning commute listening to BP podcast or BP daily podcasts for microlearning, grab a BP book that piques your interest and read a bit every night before bed.

Hey BP folks,I currently have a duplex in Fort Worth (TX) that has 3 bed / 3 bath on each side with ample parking (corner lot).

•Homes that accommodate more guests (more beds, larger spaces) tend to perform better, but they may also experience slow seasons.

The gray home to the left is on the market for $550k, to put things in perspective (it’s a 4 bed / 3 bath, 2000 sq/ft, with modest finishes).North NashvilleThis place was a little bit of a disaster zone, which is why I love it 🤠.

Same thing with any investor you get in bed with.With time you can work some equity into those rentals and when interest rates come down you will be in a better spot to sell a couple SFHs.
