Buying a “knockdown “ property

Tanya Randall

I’m a new wholesaler and I’ve seen properties that I believe would be better knocked down and rebuilt. My problem is I have no idea how much it cost to build a home from the foundation or how to estimate to cost. Any suggestions? Is there a formula? Thank you

There is no formula for building homes.. Maybe the house itself would be the easiest based on a rough $$ sqft. I would recommend as a new wholesaler to stay away from projects like this. With your lack of experience you can get an investor/builder in trouble..
