Build cost 2 million ($240 per square foot for a 5400 square-foot duplex) (Sale price $650 per square foot valuating the duplex at 3.5 million) Upon stabilization, the properties market value is projected to be between 4.5 and 5 million.

A good general rule of thumb that works for me is budgeting $20 per foot which would include everything down to silverware.

A good option to get your foot in the door might be to house hack and rent by the room.

Can a 25 foot long 6"x4"x.210" 6061 aluminum association I-beam can span a distance of 24 feet?

I'm also in school to advance in my field, which could increase my hourly rate to $80 after two more years.I recently bought my first house, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1500 square foot home.

I lent $225,000 of which $185,000 was for the purchase of the property and $40,000 is going toward renovations.As a lender I just want to get back my loan amount back (in this instance $225,000) if there is a total loss with the property.I have seen where a lender tells the insurance agent how much property insurance he/she wants based on a price per square foot calculation.On the other hand I have also seen where a lender tells the insurance agent that the amount of property insurance should be the loan amount in this instance $225,000.

So, it's bad business to lie and shoot yourself on your foot.

These tenants will be a BIG problem if you don't stand strong and put your foot down right now.
