Welcome to the new Question of the Week! It looks like estimating rehab is a big hurdle, so let’s get talking!

Make sure to vote in our poll and mention your location and average in our post. If you can give ballparks for the ARV range, sqft, and maybe a few key things such as roof replacement, new hvac etc that will help people learn what they may be able to expect in their area.

Hi there, 

This is a question I often have regarding average rehab costs as well. I am working on a full condo renovation in downtown Seattle right now. We are approximately 90% finished. I've been keep tracking of all my rehab expenses and dividing that by our total square footage. As of right now, we are sitting at about $75 sq. ft. This includes demolition, new kitchen, two new bathrooms, minimal plumbing work, full electrical work, flooring, paint, drywall work, new trim, shelving and appliances. 

Curious to hear what others have to say.
