Default Cost of new home

How much does it cost to build a new home 1200 s.f. in Montgomery county,

I once herd that if you build 2 houses you can sell 1 for enough to pay for
the other house.
( like getting your house for free )
Does this make sense ?

It is possible. But also consider that your project could go over
cost, the 2nd house doesn't sell, then you can't afford the mortgage
(s). The you lose both houses, owe twice as much and go bankrupt^2.

As for the price, Rico is an architect so, of course, he is over-
estimating things and completely vague with his number. So figure the
number is really around 5. But remember, it's five per s.f., but
square feet make that calc harder, so square the cost and then
multiply by the feets. So figure 25 per feets.
