I'm looking to build a 2500 sq ft two level ecofriendly single-family home which incorporates natural surrounding into the design, I'm trying to figure out what my cost should be for architectural plans: elevation, floor plan, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, etc.  

@Robert Leitner if you plan on growing, you'll have to switch eventually.So, why not now and just get it over with?

Real estate investing can feel daunting, but with a solid game plan and a reliable formula, you'll gain confidence.

Hi, MatthewThank you for your advice.Finally, my friend decided to sell the property after everything is fixed up since he wants to be released from lots of stress...Leo  Ok great- atleast there is an exit plan now.

For renovation ($200k), it might take some time to get permits (ie, pool and additional bathrm) so plan to start it in late November.

I have a similar story I plan to share in the next few weeks.

Business Plan: Start with a clear plan.

I'd get my own values (Which I'm sure you are planning on).

@mike @Mike Dymski NEVER move money from a checkbook IRA LLC directly to another retirement plan.
