Nope, it's less than 400 square feet.

Determine a price per square foot and multiply that into your property. 

It usually works out that way, or i end up coming up with a smaller amount in cash to supplement.The property: I have a duplex that i purchased in Washington end of last year.

They may be able to finance you at a low down payment if you have experience, reserves, and FICO as long as the 65% of the value can support the entire purchase price  I wasn't saying 0 down, but the concept of full return of capital. 15% land purchase cash. in columbus land is let's say 50k we build a triplex for 350k which is very close to 15%. small entitlements, reserves required, etc whatever lender asks for. multifamily sells for 200k per door in our market over 4 units, we are pushing the values up. first ones we are working on because of rezoning, etc but it's a full refinance on 6 month seasoning and do it again. that's the scenario that I was outlining. we do it in the urban core of Columbus where new construction trades at $325 a square foot or more for higher rents and higher equity. we could still put more units per parcel in columbus. these are all infill I hate Lehigh acres. overbuilt, no infrastructure, no commercial drivers or asset.

That's where bad experience/nightmare come in.Lastly, to answer your question, to build a basically designed, square/rectangular house without crazy jigsaw puzzled cuts on roof, the following price is a good competitive construction only price for what you need to do:Around $165 per sq ft on conditioned space (for an average 1200 to 1800 sq ft house, 8-9ft high ceiling, everything is investor grade finishes), $90-100 per sq ft for garages/unconditioned storage, $60 per sq ft for porches/opened spaces.  

I have put together a "packet" for the appraisers before when they come on-site that shares details about the property (rents, square footage, etc..) and I also share a few "target properties" (aka comps) that I modeled after as a "suggestion" to them.

It is a 3 bed 1 bath located in Dallas, Wi. 2900 square feet, built in 1920, 1 car garage, and a beat down shed in back.The house definitely needs some love to up the value of home, but I have the knowledge to do 90% of the work myself for this flip. 

I've been searching but could not find this exact question. Sorry if I'm asking something that has been asked before. My wife and I have a large growing family and a home that perfectly fits our needs but want to expa...

I’m from ellensburg WA and prices are through the roof here and don’t make for a good buy and hold my price/rent ratio would be around .5-.6%

Does anyone have any knowledge on whether I can represent myself in a transaction with a builder on the purchase of a new construction home for myself as an actively licensed broker in WA Seattle area and collect or save on the commission myself?
