Held at CAPK Friendship House, the event featured local developers Max Becerra and Eric Mora, who presented plans for over 1,600 rental units in projects like Mulberry Village and Mayflower Ranch, as well as a 110,000-square-foot retail center with the area's first grocery store.Significant city support includes a 2.5-mile sewer line and plans to annex parts of the area into Bakersfield.

Recently I started working with a college kid who is doing some wholesaling to make some money and get his foot in the RE door.He had read about house hacking with a partner, where he applies for the FHA loan and finds a partner to cover the down payment.  

And I pay $3.50 per yard for installation.Total, that's about $9 per square yard, or about $1 per square foot.

:P There isn't anywhere near enough information in the original post to provide specific advice so I asked the poster to reach out.  10,000 foot overview the best advice would be to speak with a knowledgeable INDEPENDENT insurance agent and be as forthright as possible with your situation. 

Also, average per square foot isn't always the way to figure ARV Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

And yes you could invest the money for a deal ... but lets be STRAIGHT . with 2k you get the basic education / foot in the door.

That is how I got started.I also encourage you to listen to the Thanks for Visiting podcast because they are in your city.I hired an online interior designer and gave a per-square-foot budget.

The average listed price per square foot in our market trending for new construction by larger tract home builders is $130-$140 per square foot.

There is a reason the production guys in Texas can build for 75 a foot to 100 a foot.. and we spend double that.

So my initial plan was to get in touch with them some how and get on a call then present my deal, but as I said before I can't really get my foot in the door
