With that said should i go with a bigger property put 20% down and be in the 300k range or do i start with a smaller investment, rehab, rent, and refinance using the brrrr method. 

I moved to because I was unable to find full time work and or a home in my price range that would accept my small dog.

What is your price range for purchasing a land?

@Greg Dickerson Would this be easier to do at a lower price point, such as a final (built) price in the $500k-$1m range with a lot cost around $50k?

I'll also ad that this unit range would definitely be the entry or even mid way point for the vast majority of BP members interested in multifamily properties.

I've had some licensed and well reviewed contractors come out and we're getting estimates in about the $20,000 range for the install.  

With your price range, in West Lafayette I would look at the areas north of Meridian St. and near Happy Hollow park. 

There are new developments around 200 to 300 K range with rental prices around 1600.I am curious if anyone has any expertise in this area and or have any properties that they have established there.Thankyou 

They'll probably still be in the $200-$250k range though, but maybe you could house hack a townhome or SFH in the $150k range.

I've checked comps around the neighborhood and although they're a little nicer in terms of renovations, I've noticed the average selling price ranges from $100k-$110k and rent ranges anywhere from $900-$1,000.
