I was thinking I’d be looking at roughly $175k/unit just for the actual direct construction costs, and deconstructing/removing the old buildings, site work, utility connection, holding costs, financing costs, architect/engineer fees, etc. all those ancillary soft costs would be in addition to that $175k/unit but like you I’m in the beginning stages of researching this idea.

Hello fellow BP'ers, I am considering engaging with Engineered Tax Services for a Cost Seg.

Do I need to submit plans from an architect/engineer or is City ok with owner-drawn plans?

I am a young engineer and I'm seeking to do something new on the side. 

In syndication, one of the target bases is high income earning professionals (ex. doctors, lawyers, software engineers) that don't have the time, expertise, or desire to invest their own money. 

A septic system is about 20k on the high end (non engineered).

If the front foundation wall (that has load against it) has to be over 10' tall, then Sevier County will require an engineer's stamp on the drawings.

in a couple months, i would like to buy my first property. i live in san diego ca and its really expensive market. i have family and we are used to living in around 900sqft houses, i would like to find a multi house property for a house hacking method. ive been looking online for a while but i don't ever see "wat i think" are good deal. i am an engineer that makes 6 figures and the couple time i talked to a real estate agent they try n push me to get a big expensive house because i can "afford it". i don't think they understand that i want to achieve FI. anyways my question is, how do i find a real estate agent that understand what i am trying to do?
