I want to start off on the right foot this time.

OK now what was your cost to build per sq foot?!

just a two foot section where there was a bad clog?

Thanks Karen, so regardless of how good things sound or how true we WANT them to be, we can start off on the right foot by letting potential funding sources know we will not pay any upfront fees, they are good at giving reasons why they should be paid upfront something however (usually they tell us in will increase chances)

I have two commitments for the money to buy the property.Here is the deal - I will foot the bill of the construction/closing costs ($75k - $85k) and my partner will solely buy the property ($195k).

I adjusted the square footage by $45 per square foot.

There will come a point in time where I may feel like I could benefit from from more experienced investors, but I feel it is important to do as much research on my own as possible to fully grasp the concepts of investing before i ever set foot in a classroom or put a dollar on the table

It's an 1800 square foot home.

You could politely ask if they would be willing to work on the garden, read on the back porch, fiddle with something in the garage - just somewhere where they are not under foot and could kill the deal by being too pushy or talkative.

How much can you build for per square foot?
