, attending "free" nothing down seminars, (Tom Vu??

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

Feel free to reach out if you want to connect, I have some people I've JV'd with in the Texas triangle.

So about 8 houses per year will do ya....but don't forget your costs of doing business AKA overhead....Very good point!

Check-Writing and Payment OptionsDo they offer free checks or digital check-writing?

I’ve done 4 cash out refis to buy 14 houses basically for free, since I didn’t have to come up with any out of pocket cash for my 20% down payments on the new houses.

The current property is propane-only, and while natural gas is available, the cost to bring the line is around $40K–$50K.

If you're in Northern MN, there is a very good chance that the cost to build a new duplex exceeds the resale value, which would be an awful idea to build a new one. 

Dwelling (Building coverage)The limit should be based on the Replacement Cost of the building (cost to rebuild withthe same kind and quality excluding the foundation)2.

To be brutally honest i don't care if it's at cost, below or above, I only care what it is exactly and how much.
