(Marin County, CA)We have looked a Structured Sale but it does not have all the advantages of the 1031.I have cash to close.She/seller cannot find the “right” property.She is the manager of the LLC that holds title with her parents.They have not set foot on the property in almost 3 years.I live in one of the units and have managed and maintained the property for the past 6 years.Her parents are not able to manage their affairs and she handles their $$$.We have a number of serious deferred maintenance issues that she does not want to address.I would much rather buy her out than go to arbitration to force her to participate in the work for the deferred maintenance and the renovations I want to do.

They are a pain in the ***, take a long time to close, and charge higher interest rate with more points then normal FHA or conventional loans, but if you dont have the money to start another way it can be a great way to get your foot in the game.

They might want one and we could cover the cost as well as making sure we approve of where the holes are made and how many, split the cost or have them foot the entire bill?

What are per-square-foot building costs and what size houses would you have to build to hit the $500K or the $675K price ranges?

Another way to calculate is find out how many gallons the pool holds. 1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons.Take the amount of gallons, say 20,000 / 7.48 = 2674 cubic feet.2674 cubic feet equals = 99 cubic yards.You could add a bit more for the top of the pool that you don't fill up, but the decking and broken up gunite, plaster, tile etc, should take care of this.

They will need to know about zoning, air rights and recent comps for land that sold, development and price per square foot for development and so on.

They charge by the square foot, usually $5-8/SF.

It has a non-working hot tub in the deck surrounded by a 6 foot fence that needs a bit of repair.

I was quoted $5.75/foot to put in Lawson engineered wood into a rehab I am doing.

If a brand new 1,200 square foot house costs $90 a sq ft to build and a brand new MH can be had for $40 sq ft, how much quality can one expect?
