@Mary lou L.It's nice seeing a real estate show that isn't all the crazy California prices, though I'm not a fan of the down home style that they put in every single home they remodel.

Can you tell me what style you prefer and why?  

@Jeff Piscioniere Most of my clients use either Schlage or Kaba - the link below will take to a few different styles - they like them because the code can easily be changed remotely (severl live on the West Coast and their properties are here on Maui).AlohaKeyless entry

You likely even will use a standard contract for your first deal from your MLS (so an investment oriented realtor may be a first call amd maybe a good inspector and contractor for repairs).... 

My final thoughts are that it probably depends on your learning style on what would work best for you. 

I am $65 dollars a sq ft in Salisbury NC for a 52 unit town home duplex style , our 98 unit town homes ( basically apartment all rentals Charlotte NC ) we will be at $71 dollars a Sqft all in with land.

In addition, as to the cost of construction, it varies widely, depending on the style of the building, materials being used, finishes, etc. 

Currently I'm thinking about offering both debt and equity styles of investments, so I would like to find out the legal documents and procedures in setting up such structure.
