And unless you have very deep pockets, you can't afford to be that much off....So as has been said....hire a very experienced General Contractor and have them give you a budget number based on your SOW, (plus they will find other things that need to be done that you will not have seen).On your succeeding projects, you do a budget yourseld first, then hire the GC and compare numbers.Then, eventually you will be comfortable going all solo...but it takes time.

The key with this is if you want to look into annuities (variable specifically) you'll want to find one that is lowest cost possible.

However, if you’re interested in a very specific type of property and a specific type of sub-market, it will be very difficult to find a wholesaler that meets your needs.
