I am installing new laminate and it is running around $5 per square foot to remove and install old floor covering. 1500 sf x $5= $7500 just for new flooring.

It sounds like it could be a good partnership... you do what you're good at, and find the deals, and he does what he's good at, taking care of the paperwork involved.

My father wants to put up half the money and be involved.

I’m asking $12/SF including CAM, taxes & ins. in Orlando for 1,500-3,000 square foot units.

@Tatyana BaytlerYour biggerpockets profile suggests that you operate 2 different unique businesses that all involve real estate.

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.
