For a regular 1031 you will find a range of prices from 900 ish to 1500 ish for a complete exchange. 

This will help you gauge whether the rental income will sufficiently cover your mortgage and expenses.Financing Options: With your plan to put 5% down on the single-family home, make sure you understand how the financing works for the construction part.

I’ve been exploring MF properties because complexes in the $1M to $1.5M range appear to generate better NOI.

Quote from @Dean Malka: 1) what's your range for remodeling a kitchen completely (granit, backsplash, tiles, etc)?

HiI was looking at some AL properties on RTR websites in Montevallo/Birmingham area which look good on paper; $260K-$270K range and close to $350/month cash flow after PM fee.

Not to mention retail buyers that also buy opera properties, Our normal range is between 1300 and 1600 sq ft for single family, which we have found to be ideal for results.

Anywhere from $500 - $2500+ depending on the insert you install and whether you run the vent and exhaust up the old flu or cap the flu and vent/exhaust through the side of the house/chimney.If you hire out the entire job, expect to be in the $1K - $1200 range.

If you can hold onto these properties over time (ie cash flow sufficient to not lose money), you have already "won".
