I'll buy in city where there're more engineers per sq-mile or has more Chinese/Indian cuisine per sq-mile.

Also, we just had our civil engineer do a 1 acre lot optimized for RVs.

And before we got the home, someone had done foundation work, but we have no paper work to certify that it was done correctly, the engineering report was given to them, certifying the foundation supports the home, but people wanted a full warranty for the repairs, of which we still don’t have.

Soft costs are:  architectural, engineering (structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and civil), real estate taxes, appraisal, survey, insurance, permit fees, miscellaneous, title, legal, and construction interest.

@Paul M.I think you are over-engineering, but if you want to there's no safety issue with the interconnection, especially if you keep it temporary in nature.

I think the 50% rule is just a tool to make quick offers and weed out garbage deals.You can also reverse engineer it to adjust the offer price so that the numbers work.But it doesn't replace actual research and due diligence.

I am an engineer, so I am analytical and am a huge proponent for having systems and SOPs in place to streamline processes and create a reproducible product.This "one-sheet" concept is new to me, but it makes a lot of sense to have something like that so that your criteria is set and specific.Regarding deal analysis, I have been using J Scott's SFH Rental Analysis spreadsheet to practice analyzing deals.
