I have found most moderate rehab budgets fall somewhere between $35-60 a square foot.

Your best bet is to go there on an evening and see how the block looks then. in a way you are fortunate because these are the summer months and you can get a good feel of what goes on around that house. if you see a lot of hanging around on porches or a house with a lot of traffic (foot and car), proceed with caution.  

I was curious what your price per square foot is for new construction?

I purchased a 4 bedroom, 1,692 square foot home 4 years ago on a 15 year fixed mortgage for 140,000 in Corpus Christi TX at 5.3 percent interest.  

After consulting my rabbit's foot and my lucky 8 ball, I have determined that you'll need half a million dollars to buy 5 duplexes in the next 5 years. :)

Comps are what they are, which COULD mean that prices of 1200sqft homes are $125-35k, and the price of $1400sqft homes may well show the same ratio per square foot.

It's 3 years old and is a modern, kind of fancy place that we paid a high price per square foot to get into.

Otherwise, some partner with agents to do that work for them.Repairs - Again, most wholesalers figure this out themselves, using a fixed cost method (detailing everything that needs to be fixed), or a price per square foot method.  

Flack Estates 4/2/22,700 sq. ft 11,000 square foot lot School district 27 Houston- Bellaire Homes in this area are doing two things: 1) They're getting town down and built back up or getting a total rehab.

S/He's probably already got one foot out the door and is just waiting for someone like you to come by and offer to buy it at a reduced rate; because after you pay contractors to bring it up to a good standard you still want to be within the FMV/ARV.For you, though, the biggest thing is vacancy rate and income.Nonetheless, if I were you I'd be happy to pay a wholesaler.
