A great agent will help walk you through the process from start to finish and the home inspector is there to protect you in regards to the condition of the home.

For example, I live in Gilbert, AZ, which isn't exactly the cheapest place to live, so if I begin to look for a house here in AZ are the lenders going to want to see 300k-400k$ in liquid assets for me to get approval for a mortgage (as the homes in my area are around 800K-1M)?

Never built in Houston before so take my feedback with a grain of salt but I'd put money on it being impossible to build a duplex from scratch for $125 a foot (including everything from drawings, engineering, permit fees, general conditions, labor, material, landscaping).Out here in AZ the builder cost is going to be $200 a foot at best, but add 20% on top of that for the client cost.

It's low class but some managers I know make s killing.houses are in poor condition since they were built quickly in 1946 to house the returning soldiers from the war👍 

The house, in the condition it is in, is currently appraising at about 350k.
