Could you recommend someone in the Danbury area that I could meet or is maybe looking for some help that could allow me to get my foot in the door?

We had a track record of building custom homes in a gated mountain community for about $75 per square foot.

I get it marked down at Home Depot or Lowes for under $1.50/ sq foot.

I am starting a 1338 square foot 3 bed 2 bath two story home in Leander tx (78645) The first floor is 810 square foot plus 220 square foot carport and 121 square foot porch for a total of 1151 square foot on the first floor (slab.)

The longer it's empty the higher the likelihood it gets broken into and your footing that bill as well as the lost rent. 

The real estate agent priced the house lower then any house in the neighborhood but still a couple $ more per Sq foot.

My question is what are some good per square foot numbers for adding on to a house vs building new if I'm the GC on the project?  

Once somebody steps foot on a ladder at your property no matter what it is for, they need to be insured unless you know and trust them.

@Aimee Knier Don't shoot yourself in the foot. #1 rule, deny people with little details as you can, otherwise this is how you get in a lawsuit.

Put your foot down right away and if she's going to be a good tenant from here on out, then you will have to train her to be that way.
