Cost for roads and drainage within the development.

and $2000 for other stuff (gutter guard, landscaping, etc) So about 10K all in.2nd one was 1100 sq ft house built in 1934 and it needed lots of work - $1200 appliances, 2800 paint (every surface including ceilings), $5600 new windows (18 windows), $1000 gutters, $2800 refinish floors, $500 for kitchen flooring, $2500 redo kitchen and another 4000 in general crawl space and attic and generic repairs.  

This is very time consuming, every surface must be vacuumed with my HEPA certified shop vac (not just a HEPA filter in a normal vac.

As far as the units, two of them have been updated to granite surfaces,new windows, updated baths etc... the other two as straight out the 80s but well kept and functional.2.

What may look like a good deal on the surface, may turn out to be a nightmare if not analyzed properly.

Any other pieces of advice, suggestions, or insights that may have risen to the surface as you read this post.

ExteriorThe walkways were cracked and should be monitored for action.Sections of the aluminum siding and trim were damaged and should be replaced.There was weathered wood trim throughout that should be replaced as necessary.We recommend installing window well covers over all window wells.The left-side gate was damaged and should be repaired or replaced.Some of the hose spigots were inoperable and this should be corrected.There was some minor cracking throughout each driveway that should be repaired as necessary.There was storage in the 1070 garage that obscured some areas from visual inspection.The Genie overhead garage door opener was not working properly and should be serviced or replaced.The garage door opener was plugged into an extension cord and a dedicated outlet should be installed.We recommend installing downspout extensions to divert drainage away from the foundation of the home.Each overhead garage door was damaged and should be monitored and repaired or replaced as necessary.The patio screen door was badly torn and damaged by the dog and should be replaced.The left side storm door was missing and should be replaced as necessary.

I have been searching for Agents and Lenders but have only begun to scratch the surface.

The cost of water taps, infrastructure (roads and drainage), development fees, land and such all create a baseline that is too high to turn a profit at the lower price points.

This would definitely be a deal breaker for us when looking at investment property purchases, right up there with main street in the front yard or built at bottom of a drainage slope.
