If you get a MF property with all 1 bed units, I think you'll attract less families, so local schools won't matter as much but proximity to jobs and bus lines and restaurants etc will matter.

80 Yr. old duplex priced at ~$110,000 (reduced twice since December of last year, initial price listed at $135,000)Each unit is 1 bed/1 bath, total square feet living is about 970Taxes in 2018 were $515On the website it shows property tax as $43/mo and home insurance as $52/moAssessment was about $4,500 (why is the difference so large from listed price?)

@William Gillette one of the people I asked yesterday has a 4 bed 3.5 bath property available.

It says theres a microwave but there isnt.2 - It says both the kitchen and baths were updated in the last 11-15 years.....try more like 40-50 years. 3 - Comps pulled are two 2bed/1bath houses and a 4bed/1bath house where this is a 4 bed/2 bath house.So I'm not super familiar with appraisers or the process and its not like I want to contest their numbers (I just made 30k) but this confuses me and I dont want it to bite me in the butt later.

One is a side by side duplex, great condition, 4 beds and two baths on either side, asking $270,000, current income: $2600/m.

Having a similar year to yours: suicide/OD last week, ugly eviction earlier this year, 5 other turnovers of longterm tenants (which as you know means addressing lots of deferred maintenance issues/full-blown rehab during make-ready) and several unexpected cap ex issues ($30k roof that hemorrhaged several leaks into the building after a hail storm, sewer line that blew up under a newly remodeled kitchen, furnace that crapped the bed on the coldest night of the year, etc.).

By using the data of what are the top staging and fixtures as reviewed by short term rental guests, we didn’t gamble, we chose the top rated mattresses (zinus, $399 a king), the top rated platform beds (Wayfair, $299 a king), the top LED daylight bulbs, TV, internet speed, everything.

Hello Biggerpockets,Some background on me:  I own a design + build firm here in l.a. and have done plenty of flips and currently own 14 doors (2- 4units, 1- 3 unit, 1 duplex, 1 sfd) My agent recently brought me a property 24,700 s.f. lot with rd1.5 zoning (1 habitable dwelling every 1500 s.f. of lot) ...meaning I can build up to 16 units on itIt currently has 4 single family type homes on it generating $6400 monthly (3 - 2 bed 1 bath & 1 3 bed 2 bath) The owner is asking for way too much (1.9m) and basically trying to find someone to partner with. 

How much does it cost to build a average 2 bed room/1 bath unit?
