Tell me about auctions
Hello BP Community,
I am curious how people estimate rehab costs on an auctioned house that you aren't able to see ahead of time.
Is there a formula?
Exit strategy is rent or flip depending on what the market is doing when all is done.
Thanks!
Courtney

@Courtney Murphy
No formula, assume the worst and hope for the best
If it’s vacant you can peek through windows etc but if occupied I don’t recommend going to the property
