Zachary just pay a real estate attorney to help.Most broker/agents wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.

Can someone give me a good estimate for the price to build a duplex per square foot.

What I am thinking of doing to get my foot in the door, and which will allow me to relocate to FL, is to apply for jobs with property management companies in the Jacksonville area.

Some people will use a square foot method, like $35 per square foot, to estimate a basic cosmetic Rehab job.  

@Nicole Clemens Yes to apply the application fees to the rent for 1st month is smart and many do that. it's more your rewarding them for completing application and choosing your rental and giving credit toward their account that shows a win win, the tenant already starts out on a good foot.

I had THREE Dish Network dishes on my roof (and an old, five-foot rusted-out TV antenna). 

I am not sure yet if I am interested in becoming an agent, but have been thinking of going that route to get  my foot in the door.

It looks as if the horizontal masonry grout lines "drop off" towards the outside corner of the building, indicating there could be some settling/shifting in the footings and walls below grade, which can be a pretty costly repair depending on the severity of the settlement.

One had a 21,000 square foot lot, with a 900 square foot 2 bedroom 1 bath house in the middle of the san fernando valley in LA.  

If there charging you more for work that was agreed upon, I would put my foot down.
