If you had only taken the time to see the area yourself, you wouldn't have touched it with a ten foot pole!

Determine a price per square foot and multiply that into your property. 

They may be able to finance you at a low down payment if you have experience, reserves, and FICO as long as the 65% of the value can support the entire purchase price  I wasn't saying 0 down, but the concept of full return of capital. 15% land purchase cash. in columbus land is let's say 50k we build a triplex for 350k which is very close to 15%. small entitlements, reserves required, etc whatever lender asks for. multifamily sells for 200k per door in our market over 4 units, we are pushing the values up. first ones we are working on because of rezoning, etc but it's a full refinance on 6 month seasoning and do it again. that's the scenario that I was outlining. we do it in the urban core of Columbus where new construction trades at $325 a square foot or more for higher rents and higher equity. we could still put more units per parcel in columbus. these are all infill I hate Lehigh acres. overbuilt, no infrastructure, no commercial drivers or asset.

I don’t want her to shoot herself in the foot so I’ve advised against this, but some action needs to be taken.

It’s all the transient foot traffic up and down our street that has created pause.

But you will never fully get a feel for it, unless you actually step foot into that neighborhood. 

I built high-end custom modular (e.g. stick built in a factory and shipped) for a significantly cheaper cost per sq foot than it would have cost to build with a local builder.

We pull guidelines using these stakes and I tell my fence contractor to stay a foot or so inside the line.

I know labor costs are cheaper in the south than what they are where I am at in the NW.... see what they charge on average per sq/foot to build.A couple positive aspects to new builds that are often over looked are very low capital expenditures for a 10-15 year time period after the build.
