As a point of reference, a furnace purchased online, enough for a 1200 square foot house, is only about 420 shipped.

Price per square foot in shopping centers in the NY Metro area currently average $25.50.

Sotheby's says it is a record.The buyer paid $4.8 million for a 5,514 square foot condominium in downtown Indianapolis.  

For example...Let's say the final value of a 4,000 square foot complete new build on that lot is $800,000.  

I wouldn't necessarily announce that you have recently come into some capital as there will be people along promptly to try to relieve you of said capital.Read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide on this site, listen to some podcasts, and read some blogs.

Instead, off loading the onsite to a PM will relieve you of that entanglement. 

Really depends on the type of project and there foot print when it boils down to it.Let me know if you have any questions.Regards, Joe Scorese

Is maintenance as a percentage of revenue the best way to estimate, or do you guys look at it a different way ($ per square foot per year, $ per property per year?).

I'm curious before I tear into this thing what the general cost per square foot is on basic carpeting and ceramic floor tile installation.

This condo (1 bedroom loft) is pretty small .. roughly 700 sq foot.
