I currently build in Texas, and I can build a single-family stilt home on the bay for roughly $140 SFT.

A similar house (in a worse town) rented for $1.91/sq ft a few months ago according to a Rentometer report I ran - we're currently listed around $1.52/sq ft.A home on my same street was gut reno'd and currently rents for $9,500/mo (smaller sq ft).But if I check Facebook Marketplace for homes in similar towns (similar beds and baths), the premium is much higher - towns like Lexington and Newton are more like $2.50+/sq ft, for much smaller houses. 

Hey everyone, I own a duplex in South Jersey (2-bed downstairs, 1-bed upstairs) with a steam heat system and could use some feedback from others who’ve dealt with similar setups.The whole house is heated by a single steam boiler with one thermostat on the 1st floor.

HUD requires 80 sq ft for a minimum bedroom size. 

Stumbling across Real Estate Rookie interview with Dion gave me the idea that we could rent out our small single family home and buy a duplex to house hack, with a 3.5% down payment.

I think you could probably build something pretty nice in the $160-$170/FT range.

On-market single-family property as part of our strategic house-hacking approach.

Purchase price: $890,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Q: What’s the best way to lend money on a single-family home?

It's a 1,000 sq ft 2BR/1Bath that has about 700 sq ft in basement space that could be converted into an extra bedroom and bathroom.

Another off-market single-family home added to our future cash-flowing portfolio.
