Let me know if you need any architectural advice (i.e. are you building this in Python?

After looking over all costs in this development I came up with the number of $45,000 per unit which includes land, permits , parking lot, roof,GC costs , Architectural costs etc.This unit would be a small 2 bedroom 1 bath and it would be rented to a section 8 tenant for $945 where the tenant would pay for water & electric.When calculating the return on investment I came up with a an ROI  of 15%$45,000 total build cost /unit Gross yearly rent ($945 x 12 = $11,340)-40 % expense Income $6,8046,804/ 45,000. = 15.1% ROI These are not accurate calculations but I believe they are close based upon my research. 

Not looking to build, but to rehab an existing historical property. my interest in the areas has been spiked due to the amazing adobe properties in this area (I blame it on my architecture background >,<!)

I'm an architectural designer/landlord.
