., My original quote for this thread was up to $600k, that was my highest bid when I was trying to have a 4 family built in the style of All Brick with each unit running 1000 sqft [became to small for a 3x2 for what I wanted], for 4000sqft total size on a full basement used for garage space and storage.

These are modern style homes so not sure if this would work in your market / style. 

@Rob D.I keep recommending my clients have an- Attorney approval- Contractor review- Radon test- Lead based paint test- Asbestos test- Septic inspection- Finance contingency for FHA- $2500 repair expectation for any repairs FHA demands- $1 EMD- Engineers inspection- Furnace inspector- Partner approval- Environmental impact study at sellers expense- Neighbor interview- Plumber inspection- Assignment of contract- Well test- HOA rules approval- Certificate of Compliance acceptance- Marketability of title- Town code review- Survey- Soil testFor some reason they keep complaining they are not getting a response, beat out or end up spending thousands in tests and fees only to lose to some cash buyer when they request a repair.

This is born from the industry trying to distinguish a 2001 suburban garden-style class A complex from an urban core mid-rise that just finished construction.  

I like the idea of starting on some items sooner than later.Ultimately, I think my "nice guy landlord" style has worked well for my one SFR rental over the past 10 years. 

I would caution you look at the photographer's portfolio to ensure you like their style and finished images.

Ideally I want to build a duplex style Chalet. 

Also check for any environmental issues: lead, radon, buried oil tanks, old gas tanks, asbestos, meth lab, etc... 

Usually draw much higher rents than garden style apts.

As a contractor knowing my worth , and setting My prices has allowed me a very comfortable life style Credit , I have so much credit at suppliers its scary .
