Read your state regs, - involve your area authorities (fire marshall, building inspectors and anyone at the state level of whichever arm of state govt manages Assisted Living/Nursing homes early and often in the design/build process - they have to be kept in the loop and part of the process to keep happy and so that your facility can be auth'd and up and running)Best of luck

The mobile home is ~1,000 square feet. 

I'm Cody Richard and I'm very excited to get more involved with Bigger Pockets and real estate investing. 

@Matthew Meizis usually the architect is involved before the GC. 

@Justin Scott I think you are better off establishing square footage estimates than trying to get a GC to give you a cost estimate, then trying to find a buyer, then him getting estimates, yada, yada, yada.Sit down with a GC, or someone else that knows the trade and get ball park sq ft estimates. 

I'm all for submetering all other utilities, just too much support involved with internet.

@Thripura Vemireddy If you have a particular lot in mind, then the best thing to do is look at recently-sold, 6 month comps in the area to get an idea as to what the price per square foot is.

But this involved plans, a lot of plans.

I am mainly talking about an average sized yard for a 1200 square foot 3 bed SFH in Omaha. 

An interest in local government and real estate would help.The developments of empty land into subdivisions that I've worked on have involved those area the most.
