1500-1700 sf depending on quality of materials if it's for home only - i.e. not including land.

In my area I would get as nuch as I could beg borrow and steal to be able to buy a 1100 square foor of ANYTHING and buy as many as I could. I would then flip them and retire.

Depends on what state. And depends on if it's brick, siding, stucco (siding / cement). Roofing and also windows.

Vegas: 1,500 sf

Michigan: 1,800 sf

Blythe: 6.000 sf

Beverly Hills 1,000 sf (2 bedroom condo-bare bones) or fixer-upper

Around here that would get you a typical 3br ranch built in the 60-70's that needed repair.

sounds like you're describing a garage apartment in Plano around Gleneagles area.

The builder was bragging to me, I can build these houses for $50k and sell them for $169k. I was like so pretty much you are selling a shitty product, he got upset.
