Construction cost per sqft in South West Florida varies quite a bit depending on model, size, and utilities available.One thing many people overlook — the larger the house, the lower the price per sqft due to fixed costs being spread over more living area.From what we’re seeing across current spec builds in Southwest Florida:• Large single-family homes: as low as ~$97 / sqft (city water & sewer)• Smaller single-family homes: up to ~$128 / sqft (well and septic)• Duplexes: starting around $113 / sqft (city water & sewer)Utilities play a big role — well/septic, fill, flood zones and elevation can move numbers quickly.We focus mostly on standardized investor product, which helps keep pricing predictable and build times tight.If anyone is underwriting specs or duplex deals in SWFL, happy to share real budgets or feasibility numbers based on current projects.

Quote from @Nofar Elhanati: Hi everyone,I'm an investor based in Israel and I'm currently focused on the Columbus, Ohio market as I work toward my first U.S. deal.My primary strategy is Fix & Flip, with a strong interest in small multifamily properties as well, as long as the numbers make sense.I'm currently analyzing deals in the following range:* Purchase price: $80,000–$100,000* Property type: Single-family & small multifamily* Rehab: light to medium* Open to neighborhood recommendationsI plan to manage the project as an out-of-state investor and I'm already in conversations with local agents, while continuing to build my team on the ground.For those active in Columbus:* Which neighborhoods are currently working best for flips in this price range?

What my recommendation would be is while you continue to learn, focus on cleaning up your credit and getting stuff in order - once you get into real estate most things dealing with money get harder not easier and harder f your house is not in order now it's only gonna get worse 

Pittsburgh suburbs vary wildly - some areas are appreciating fast, others are flat or declining.Without knowing the exact location, here's what I'd expect:- Close-in suburbs (20-30 min): $1,200-1,500/month- Further out (45+ min): $900-1,200/month- Depends on: School district, walkability, condition, amenitiesFor a 2bed townhome 45 min out, I'd estimate $1,000-1,200/month is realistic, but you need to verify with actual comps.Let's say rent is $1,100/month:If you put 20% down ($33k):- Mortgage (7% rate): ~$877/month- Property tax: ~$200/month (varies by county)- Insurance: ~$80/month- HOA (townhome): ~$150-300/month (need to verify!)

I managed to get in contact with the landlord of their most recent eviction, and they did the EXACT same thing to them only a couple of months prior--scammed their way into getting the keys, then never paid a dime, and continued to occupy the property all the way up to the set out date.

Although it is usually to the investor's benefit to do a cost segregation study the first year of owership, properties that have been owned for longer than one year can also take advantage of the tax benefits and cash flow available with cost segregation.The amount of depreciation can vary between 25% to 50% of what you paid for the property mimus land with the 100% Bonus Depreciation. 

Best combine a few of them.cash flow: negative and Los Angeles has challenges to close the gapappreciation: varies but I suspect low in the near termtax benefits: likely zeroequity pay down:  about 1% at 95% LTV if your comment was before 2022, I would agree.  

States vary so much in how they operate that it's not remotely plausible in the least that such a nuanced thing as real estate can have any direct controls such as rent control.

I know costs vary widely based on location, scope, and market, and I’m not looking for exact numbers—just ballpark figures to help me learn what different types of rehabs typically cost.If you’re open to sharing, it would be super helpful to know: City/marketType of property (SFH, duplex, etc.)Scope of work (cosmetic, moderate, full gut)The estimate amountI understand every deal is different, but I’m trying to train my eye and set better expectations as I continue learning.
