It is a 1700 square foot duplex that I am buying for a measly $45,000.  

By nature, the square footage of the urban abode is significantly less than a similar priced suburban or exurban dwelling.In 1920s a complex called Tutor City was build in Midtown Manhattan near the East River.  

Do I foot the bill?

But the upside is that per square foot, it'd be almost impossible for someone to build for cheaper, so this prop has that going for it.

I think we will start to see massive fraud reported in the coming months, where select groups will collect unbelievable amounts while leaders point fingers... and the taxpayer will foot the bill. 

My 4 bed at 7801 W 80th is at $1,700 a month and similar square footage. 

All residential lots will have a minimum square foot requirement for the structure. 

So looking at the job in phases: Permit 500-1000 Demo 3500 - 5500 Sheathing repair 2200 - 3300 WRB 1200 2200 Vinyl - 600/square installed Not sure how many squares you'll need to do but I think you're looking at around 12k on the LOW end. 

They sent it to the bid room and knocked off almost $0.50/sq foot which was amazing.

We have had claw foot tubs in older houses and left them for a few reasons.
