I would get estimates for utilities connections (gas, water, electric) and then, if it still makes sense, architect's plans made so you can  get building estimates so that you are good to go if AUDs are authorized.Do N-O-T build one without permits and permission.

As a "buy n hold" investor, I personally feel, that major issues (roof, Painting, doors, windows, paying the mortgage, etc) is my responsibility.

@Harman N. if you are insuring only 1 duplex, and Replacement Cost is between $150k & $200k, then you may find premiums in the $800-$1200 range.Once you have more than 2-3 locations, then the price point can drop to $400-$800, depending on the value, coverage, age, etc.

But this, as @Masa N. is finding out, is a double edged sword.

It is near 59N and by N Houston Ave.

I'm currently working with the City of N Chas and SC Housing to set up some affordable housing workshops, but ours will be geared more towards first time buyers using grants.
