Best Rehab Estimate Techniques

[Colin Carey]

Hi Everyone! I'm just getting started in my real estate career and one area I want to improve on quickly, is rehab estimation costs as well as the added value from it. I am not a contractor by any means and I understand no contractor is going to walk a property, or multiple properties for that matter, to estimate your costs without the real intent of purchasing. I have used the estimator on the site and it just seems to be not detailed enough along with a black box around where the numbers actually come from. This is more so a quick estimate to evaluate if value can be added to a property, not the full due diligence needed towards final stages of closing. Thank you for any and all advice!
