I just finished a project with Curbio and what could have been done in 4 weeks took 8 weeks. 

Everything must be done in the name of the IRA LLC front start to finish.  

You can figure around $650-800 a door depending on your finish-outs.

We are 1-month out from finishing our first duplex.

We're finishing a basement & also considering updating electrical / plumbing. 

If it is cheaper to own, you may want to buy and even if you sell in 2 years (assuming the development is finished on time), you may still come out ahead in terms of selling the property vs paying someone else's mortgage.

But working full time, I have found that it will take a bit longer than I would like to finish school, and even then, I have been unsure of what field of work I would want to end up in.

The other headache is that we seldom get to start and finish the job with the same GC.

The new finishes will receive wear and tear from a tenant you already have and won't appear as nice as they  would if brand new to maximize rent increase at turnover.

Towards the middle of 2018 we will also start looking for a good ranch style house that has at least 4 bedrooms, basement (hopefully finished), and a garage that I might convert into a bedroom since more rooms mean more clients.
