It will go directly to the ferry building in SF (I'm currently working on this job in the pre-construction phase).

For raw land development you just need to budget for a whole lot of soft costs before you get going, I actually help with the biological/environmental phases of raw land development, so I can you that it's tough to develop raw land.

With its location to the new Cerner Complex (16,000 jobs to be added in phase one) In a few years it will be an awesome area and has one of the few school districts in KC that never lost accreditation.

I will keep you abreast of the process and also consult with you about the phases of the project.

If you set a contract up with completion dates and phases of completion along the way, then require reports that coincide with the phases - it solves a lot of problems.  

A very simple way to start might be one of those websites that give you cost per daft estimates for different repairs.It sounds like you are in the learning phase, so do lots of reading and maybe see if you can find some properties to evaluate for practice.

I have no idea how much this is going to cost and it seems like I won't know until I get into the design phase with the architect but by then I'll already be on the hook for a decent amount of money.

If she wants to leave, I think you can still phase that as I'll mail you a check for $444 every month for 10 years... seller financing is not for all sellers, but if she is there or not, that is no difference to you, actualy, if she leaves, you might be able to rent it for more...But to @Jeff Filali point... if you will make $150 per month, you should have a reserve for repairs.

I know I need to start making contacts with contractors familiar with working in phases and draws, and of course being on schedule.

I'm not sure if this is the right place, so mods, please move, if needed.I'm in my education and learning phase, so I'm hoping some members can help enlighten me.For this, I made sure all were NPNs, and all were 1st positions, as I felt comparing 1sts to 2nds would not be an accurate study.
