You can potentially have your building built in a factory and shipped and assembled in a few days.In terms of your duplex situation, I think it depends on the neighborhood and also if you're looking to rent both or owner-occupy one side or sell.  

sell it on eBay with photos and have buyer pay shipping.

To be the sponsor I look for 50% of equity upside and I look to give out 8% preferred return.Some passive investors focus in on that extra 1 or 2% preferred return but I would care more about the sponsor running the ship and the property.Extra return sounds good on paper but 12% of nothing is nothing. 

I think the only ship that doesn't sail is a partnership, I've been through it as well.

The NEW lease-option design...As I understand it, one of the requirements of the new Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, birthed from the Dodd-Frank legislation, is that ANY lender in an installment sale has to verify that the borrower is capable of repaying the loan, just like a traditional mortgage lender must.

Since the margins are typically so tight on commodity lumber, the supplier either has to take the hit and match the market, or ride it out.4) If you're including trusses in this, those can vary dramatically - huge swings in price... in part because the design is subject to the individual designer as well as some supplier have in-house truss capability while others act as a middleman.
