Empty buildings are typically priced using a price per square foot. 

You also need to include property taxes and insurance in holding costs.For rehab, I would estimate it based on what the property actually might need based on those photos, not a dollar per square foot number.

So you're now eating the passive reds of the past.

I am also considering purchasing my first property in the Valley as prices are more affordable per square foot.

Incredible value add opportunities for square footage and automation.Coffee in the local cafe at breakfast time is a wonderful purge of the soul. 

Then lookup the zoning ordinance to find our how many units you can have per a square foot of land.For example, your town might be 1 dwelling unit per 1,500 square feet of property.

If any red flags appear, you can always make your offer contingent upon the property being vacant at closing. 

We really like our real estate agent Tasha Boothe (Red Tree Realty).

The lender now sent out the Appraisal a different one, they have told me that they will not add the additional square footage to the house does not matter under AC or not.

I am currently looking to connect with anyone involved in doing RED but with a Sustainable focus, as I really want to start there.
