Your total project cost is only ~ $143k. 3c) Your interest rate is probably going to be in the low to mid 7s, at least4) All states/areas are different, but I usually see with my CFO clients that their property taxes are higher than their insurance, with taxes often 1.5x higher than insurance.5) Lastly, I saw PM fee of 8%, are you paying someone else to manage this?
