Nathan, where did you get the 5 to 60 unit, was that an arbitrary designation, or are you speaking from personal experience?

Are GC’s able to choose designs?

Using the SFR as an example, I could likely get a 2300 SqFt building with low quality finishes, basic architectural design, etc finished for under $400K ($175/sqft)However, if you had an ultra- high-end, luxury home before; you likely won't be very happy with what that $400k ultimately yields.

Depreciation schedules, HVAC/Mechanical useful life schedules, etc.  

The house looks chopped up in blocks because A) it's a terrible design, and B) Nothing picks up cues from any other part of the house.

Basically, use the policy to buy other assets, then you can use the policy (if designed properly) to supplement retirement when you're done obtaining assets. 

Nobody needs a brake mechanic to do their own brakes, a licensed plumber to fix their own pipes, a licensed hair care professional to cut their own hair, a licensed electrician to replace an outlet.

When you purchase turnkey you are buying a product from a service provider, who of course needs to be paid for said service.When I need to fix my car I expect my mechanic to charge more than if I did it myself.

It depends a lot on how high between your peaks and valleys if is more than say 1/2", most leveling materials are not design to fill in that much.

I have some thoughts on a potential design but thought it might be helpful to get a recommendation from a professional as well (probably designer maybe architect).
