The office walls were demoed, and conference room(s) constructed. 

I am debating on a buying at wholesale and remodeling or doing a demo/new build and am curious what new remodel/new construction cost run on average per sq/ft for mid level builds.  

I am using private money to fund the deal and would repay once the refinance portion is in place.2 Bed/1 BathOffered: $21,000 all cash, no inspection contingencyClosing Costs: $1,500Taxes Current Year: $1,800Needed rehabs(Estimated): - Fix grade issue $300- Demo and remove patio $500- Demo and remove moldy drywall in basement $150- Repair basement cracks/seal/paint $500- Dehumidifier $300- Paint interior $300- Paint Exterior $200- Add/repair downspouts $500- Replace boiler $3,000- Replace siding on carport $400- MISC Electrical $350- MISC/Oversights $1,000TOTAL Rehabs: $7,500ALL IN TOTAL: $31,800Comparables in the area are around 45k-48k on average.

Add to that the agents that list old houses where the value is in the lot, and they price high, never considering the cost of demo and hauling off the structure! 

I’ve built a business that can scale it (so I’m not the one doing the demo or adding baseboards).

We are each other's ying and yang on paper.

. - they did plumbing, electrical, demo interior, installed duct work, new sheetrock and sub floor,  kitchen and bath cabinet, counter, sinks, tubs, toilets, tile work, and new windows throughout.- additionally, he purchased light fixures- interior doors- and appliance packages for each unit which are all sitting in storage now.- since he did not do the roof, there is now water damage from the leaky roof, to some of the new sheetrock and sub floor.Here is where we have gotten so far:**read a bunch of info on NOI, Pro forma, CAP, and looked at other delapated multi family buildings that have sold in the area. 

Less demo work for me?)

The yin-yang in seasoned vs newb -- when you're dealing with someone that's seasoned you tend to get laxed and not check certain things out because you know(suspect) that they know better(more trusting relationship).

I was actually on vacation and out of town for the 1st week of work(thank goodness everything went ok).Demo has been completed, all the old carpet, vinyl, cabinets, paneling in den, toilets and vanities were torn out and filled up a 30 yard dumpster.I have never seen this before but in all the upstairs bedrooms the HVAC vents were in the middle of the room(ceiling).
