After closing they split profits 50/50 with you.

The builders that were building rentals are most assuredly going to switch over to rebuilding the higher profit multi-million dollar homes.

However, if you are profiting over 6 figures, the property might be too expensive to live in order to truly house hack.

All of your profit stayed inside the SDIRA and remained tax deferred there. 

Profit per door is relevant.

Quote from @Brandon Vukelich: Question: why would you sell an asset that generates a profit today and will generate a more significant profit in the future?

Let’s say you have 12 lots and if everything went perfect in the exchange you would recognize your $30,000 profit per lot across the board.  

Yearly increasing costs will, in time, eat up any profit they have per unit.

After some research online, I am reading that the cost per square foot on a gut renovation of this nature in Stamford CT is anywhere from $150-$350, which is ultimately not very helpful, because at $150 per sq ft, this is a very appealing project with a total profit of ~$175K (46% ROI) and at $350 per sq ft, it very much isn't, because it would be a net loss of 83K (haha).QUESTIONS:What can I do refine my estimate a bit given that I am not allowed to a formal inspection on the property? 

. $8900 is not profitable!
