So, you guys know that I never touch a hammer or a brush - I've been vocal about that throughout the years.

Figure out all my hard costs, soft costs and financing costs for that portion of the development, then add a markup for my developer profit.2.

So track record of the lender is key.Giving a quote over the phone before reviewing the borrower and the property is just a soft quote.

Before purchasing I was shown that the bathroom floor had a soft spot in it.

My ultimate goal is to take a "soft" retirement by 35 years old (2025) by thriving off of passive income created by buy and hold real estate.

Soft pull on one bureau.

Original cost = Sales price / markup.see the 3rd examplehttp://www.purplemath.com/modules/percntof2.htmIf this is giving you trouble you might want to brush up on some basic algebra, especially if you haven't practiced it in many years.

Pretty good deal, 275 land, 225 soft costs, 6200 * 130 = 806, 1.3M more or less, easy 500.

Keep in mind the market is hot hot hot right now what will you do when it goes soft???

Hard costs, soft costs, tap fees, actual construction, etc.I am working on a deal right now we are budgeting $175k per ft - from demo/site work to build to landscaping - all tap fees, engineers, architect, etc. this is for an 8 unit town home development reselling around $400k each.I see single family construction a little lower - closer to about $125 a ft all in.
