Here is a standard for 900-1200 sqft row homes in Philly depending on the neighborhood and assuming nothing is wrong with the foundation:South Philly/West Philly West of 52nd Street: 75-85k (contingent upon underpinning basement which is big expense)-Complete gut, redo electric and plumbing, dig the basement, redo everything, Central AC, turn a 3/1 into a 3/2 or 2/2 w/ a master suite higher-end finishes, touch facade.Germantown Close to Germantown Ave/ Cobbs Creek/ West Oak Lane Close to Cheltenham / Better pockets of Olney: 60-70k-same as above but you do not necessarily have to underpin the basement.

Privacy laws won't let you do that.You would have to message each person individually... and if you do that, you are just way better off sending DMM to that person and so you are back to square 1.

I would like to know more about how they are able to offer such a low cost per square foot.Thanks 

I have tried to think of an appropriate hedge for this, and come up with the idea of serving two markets on a state line (think Portland Oregon and Vancouver Washington, for instance).

I am Joyce and I live in the Olympia, WA area.

I'll describe it as having a downtown that is the classic "square model" similar to Medina, Ravenna, and other towns around Ohio.

Youtube search "car sales four square technique." 

My goal would be to bring in enough rental income to offset the expenses so that I can reduce my housing expenses as close to zero as possible.I've seen some scattered info on the web that deducting taxes from owner-occupied rentals is a bit different (square footage versus # bedrooms rented out versus pro-rata, etc).

No Aaron, it's a main floor roughly 1500 square feet that's been divided using a hallway with doors on each side totaling 6 separate offices. 

This property is about 3400 square foot of land and zoned R3 (thinking strong potential for future to build additional units).
