So far I've gotten two quotes...My initial reaction is that I'm being asked to buy a lower rate through the almost $6k in points on the more expensive offer, which seems like a straight up attempt to pad the offer with additional costs... which I feel like I shouldn't have to do to get close to a market rate with an 810+ credit score. 

We actually pad the cleaning fee a little bit to take care of future deep cleans and help pay for some of the minor repairs over time.

I’d leverage your equity like Cody said and use this as a launch pad to get another asset 

Also, do you recommend getting the water proof pad underneath?

I look on Pad Mapper and find a lot of places for rent generally.

The quotes have came in from $1500-$4500 to build, including the pad for the units to be built on.If I charge $25/month for each unit and go with a middle priced bid of $3000, that is an extra $900 a year for $3000 investment. 30% return is good enough for me.

People who use those shortcuts already know how to analyze a property from top to bottom, and use those shortcuts as a quick tool to decide whether they should continue to analyze or just move onto another deal.It's not that hard to mathematize (i made that word up) a few units, or any small multi-unit building, and there are even spreadsheets with cells built in to help you add your required profit, to pad or trend expenses, and to stress numbers up or down in future years.Again, in my own opinion, if you're going to spend money on a few units you might as well know how to analyze those units and make an informed decision.
