You'll notice in new construction areas they tend to build the homes on a pyramid. 

If you can buy a house with a small cash flow and there is room to build a duplex on the back of the lot, then you get free dirt. 

Not sure on the building size or whether it has a flat roof, but I paid over $80K to get a 10k sq ft flat roof done back in 2021, with quotes as hight as $120K.Hope this helps, good luck!

Quote from @William Dorrough: I currently either purchase and value add large scale multifamily properties or develop, and build ground up my issue with scaling is we have done this without brining in investors i have a great deal flow with a good track record im really looking to do more i have the capacity but have the need for more capital in one way or another  Scaling without investors can be tough, especially in multifamily.

I've partnered with several contractors over the years (before I got my own license) and it is very normal for the contractor to be paid for materials and labor, even if they are doing the build "at cost"It's complicated and as other have stated, you've gotten yourself in too big of a mess to be sorted out by some people on an internet forum. 

As I was priced out of the area, I decided to look at other towns in Pennsylvania.I bought a home in late October in Luzerne County for $83,500 and decided to manage on my own for the first time. 

Second- these developments where the same person develops, builds, and then requires you to use them for management- they always suck.

I'm interested in flipping, and short-term rentals at the moment to build good cash flow, then pivot into more of a buy-and-hold/appreciation play 10-15 years from now.

It's actually cleaner and more straightforward than building in assignment fees here and there.
