You’re going to have to see what builders in your area charge for per sq ft for construction. You can probably find local builders on Facebook by searching “your city real estate investing.”

I’m in Texas and I invest in a lot of new construction for buy and holding and I typically pay around 105-110 per sq ft for construction but like I said that is going to vary a lot across the country.

It is really market data driven

No - it can be so location dependent and there are many factors. We just finished construction and ours was $335/sq ft. Northeast so pricier and on pilings because waterfront which also is pricier than a regular foundation.

Wonder if anyone can offer advice on which cert to pursue next? I obtained my CompTIA Security+ last year and wondering if I should go for the CySA+ or Pentest+ next.

I was hoping one of these next certs will help me finally break into a security role and love the idea of pentesting but not sure if the CySA+ is more beneficial.

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller. Is lender just trying to push this along faster? I'm pretty sure in this crazy market the home is not valued at what we offered. Why would seller put a much lower asking price then? Make no sense. Please advise!

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -
