Too many variables to answer this question. I.E., how big is it, what function will it serve, how many people will it hold, what will it look like, amneties, etc?

If 150% of the cost is $4500 then the actual single cost amount is $3000.

The J.W. organization has a certain number of floor plans for local congregations to pick from. This keeps costs down as per architects. The lack of widows makes construction faster, easier, and again cheaper. Lack of windows also helps keep down heating and air conditioning costs over the years. The whole thing is geared towards cost efficiency. And it works well for them along those lines. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

It depends entirely on the neighborhood and the building itself.  It's great to have a significant other to split the cost with.  I actually pay less in Brooklyn than I was paying in Montpelier, Vermont.\n\nSeriously, the neighborhood makes a big difference.

The reason that billions are being wasted in the NHS is due to the Private Finance Initiative.  A private company foots the bill for building a new hospital, and the NHS leases the hospital at a price for a certain number of years.  So, instead of say, an old hospital being modernised at a one off cost of £35 million, its demolished, the land sold off to build luxury flats that no one can afford, and a new hospital built on the outskirts of town.  Great, weve got a brand new hospital, and the NHS has made a nice profit on the land that the old hospital was on.  In reality, the NHS then lease back the new hospital for say £25 million a year for the next 25 years.  Thats £625 million going to a group of faceless fat cats instead of into the healthcare of the public.  And of course, they demand their money before all others, so the NHS has to sack staff, cut down on its cleaning bills, close wards etc, while people who have paid their tax and NI into the system, in the vain hope that theyll get a decent level of care when they need it  can go to hell.   This happens with schools as well.  Its a disgrace.

You have answered the question for yourself, the money was already spent.  If you could prove in court that this whole thing was a conspiracy to bilk the taxpayers out of millions then those responsible would be held accountable, Fined and Prisoned.  They would probably order restitution as well, however these people will have spent all their money defending themselves in court for ten or so years, what money will there be?  These things should never go wrong when they are dealing with the Public Trust, but here again you have listed all the reasons behind it.  If any money were to be recouped it would probably go into the General Revenue and not back to the taxpayer in any way other than lower tax rates or in these days not so fast raising tax rates.

One catch is, if the property is improved (has a structure on it) you will generally not be able to inspect the property before buying it.  So you would be taking it "as is."  I think people and companies who make money at this probably have enough money to buy several such properties at a time, and they can average out the risks and make a good profit in the long run.  But they will need to have plumbers, electricians, carpenters and painters available to do repairs as necessary in order to make the structures habitable -- or they must have the skills and time to do the work themselves, obtaining permits and following codes as required.\n\nIf the properties are just vacant lots, the risks are different: they just need to know how much land is worth in a given area, and be able to afford to pay taxes on the properties until they can be sold.

Those are likely still ongoing, especially as the material costs are just now being affected (what was already in stock was pre-hurricane in many cases). Here's what's been done already:

well there are earthquakes problems, also if the ground you are about to lay your foundation is too soft that you can't really built anything big on top of it like the leaning tower of pisa.  Also right now there is a problem with building materials, the prices are going up because in China there are a lot of new buildings being made, causing some projects here to be either cancelled or stopped because of the the price for materials.
