Pretty cool stuff and I just thought I'd share some pictures and be a resource to anyone trying to do this as well.

I'd be looking at multiple structures. we try to build below the average new build cost in our market in Columbus Ohio which is 515,000 last year and we target land 40-50k and urban core adjacent where we get higher price per square foot. we build for clients with margin around $190 a sq ft depending on multi or single. we can get that down in our triplex it's a little higher on our single family homes because of garages and limited economies of scale. hope that helps. idk Philly but if you show me the area and styles of homes I can give you some more insights. 

Here are my responses to your questions1) Not my area of expertise, but the numbers on this are very strong2) I'd generally lean towards building the CFM, but strategically selling some properties when someone gives you a offer you can't refuse.3) Most HMLs would lend you 75%-85% of your purchases prices plus up to 100% of the rehab costs (though some HMLs like to see the rehab costs at or below the purchase price).

I'd be happy to get on a call and tell you more about this market if you have some questions!

At the price point you qualify for, I'd be looking at a more landlord friendly state with more approachable price points.

I’d love to hear your stories.

Rent out our current house (likely $5k/month) and rent a home in Seattle (around $5k/month).Right now, I’m leaning towards option 2, but I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions!

This is a real estate group so I’d assume a lot of people own a lot of real estate.

I've been with RentRedi for a few years (started with them roughly mid 2021) after I'd had my fill of Apartments.com.

I’d love to hear how it’s worked for you and what challenges you’ve faced.
