Rent per square foot is comparable to rental housing and many other commercial sects but the expenses run 30-35% of gross income even including on site management.  

I guess you could look into home kits or panel kit homes, there is a lot of info on small foot print homes.

They can do $95/sq. foot plus a $50,000 builder fee.

The first was a duplex I purchase all cash and the second is the 1200 square foot home I currently live in but the VA covered both the purchase and the repair bill for me 100% and all within one year.

One way I want to step foot in the game is by offering my time helping any local investors in my area with anything they need.

The reasons I recall being given up to this point in not being willing to finance me are the following:The building looks scary because of all of the renovations and they don't feel comfortable about getting their money back because they were not sure about my evaluation (the person who I wholesaled it to made more than 100,000$ profit without doing one renovation)On a six plex three different lenders said that it was not profitable and they wanted me to put skin in the game as well in order to feel comfortable (I had an offer accepted at 450k and it had a basement with a nine foot ceiling that had room for two more apartments).  

Try this number: Ten (10)I would not touch with a ten (10) foot pole.

One thing you can do it get estimates from contractors over the phone for cost per square foot.

Does anyone know what items you need to construct or install in subdividing a lot inse portland  so you aren't required to pay $600 a foot for the ltic?
