It's low class but some managers I know make s killing.houses are in poor condition since they were built quickly in 1946 to house the returning soldiers from the war👍 

Not sure what is up, but please remove the ban.

Never built in Houston before so take my feedback with a grain of salt but I'd put money on it being impossible to build a duplex from scratch for $125 a foot (including everything from drawings, engineering, permit fees, general conditions, labor, material, landscaping).Out here in AZ the builder cost is going to be $200 a foot at best, but add 20% on top of that for the client cost.

You can make the numbers work , but they will be close . 

Im not entirely sure if it's still running but I think it is. 

I don't have an answer, but now I'm following this.

I’ve done a lot of research, but now I’m taking action and need advice from experienced investors. 

But investing is a decision business, do I make an offer?

The rents might be slightly below market, but to have the state paying the rent would be worth it and a zero vacancy rate for 5 years will compensate. 

But even then you still need to have cash available.
