I am trying to figure out what will remain in style for years.

those numbers don't work if you need design help I'd rework the Floorplans to smaller and higher rents to lower construction costs. 2.1 million for 12 units is crazy. we build at about 100k per door hard cost. suburban walk up style apartments fully leased up with land go for $155k a door over 100 units in columbus ohio. so if you work backwards take the equity and land out our pricing is right in line for build cost and that's with profit to investors.

I thought about renting as three separate rooms, although I've heard that this may lead to more issues, so may not do that.10% Property manager (although, could self manage from out of state)Electric, internet, water, garbage (with water bill)vacant maybe 3 days a month due to how people schedulea few fixes necessaryfurniture/dishes etc.lawninsurancetaxescleaning costsloan/loan closing costsno HOA for this one

In person learning can be great if that's your preferred learning style, but there are many online programs that will give you an abundance of information and the flexibility to go through the content at your own pace.

@Janet Behm - I like your style!

What is the happy medium of price, durability, and style.

I want to understand the demand for various locations and home styles. 

(It's more expensive) Or just ask them to get something close to they style and send me a picture before replacing. 

Internet needs to be installed, dishes and cups put away and rugs, hand towels, mirrors and landscaping needs to be complete.

Suburban three story walk up style apartments are my guess at least 60% of multifamily large scale projects.
