The cost of other (non-new construction) houses in the neighborhood have no relationship to the cost you'll incur to build a new house.Your costs will be based on a lot of factors:- Location- Level/type of finishes- Style of house- Size of house- Whether you GC it yourself or hire a builder- The types of contractors you use- Your negotiating ability- How strategic you are with your designs to keep costs downI've built houses for $60/sf, and I've built similar houses in other locations with different contractors for $90/sf.

Paying off the line with all proceeds from all cash-flowing properties I have will help us expedite the "rinse-n-repeat" model giving us flexibility to have some steroid growth style action for our biz.    

We are building 52 town home rentals ( duplex style in Salisbury) NC picked up another 80 lots in and around Charlotte.
