Gut rehab - Chicago northside (Edgewater) 2 flat
Hi all -
Looking for some insight on the estimated costs of gutting a traditional Chicago two-flat. It's about 2600 feet, each 3 bedroom/1 bath units. Will need new HVAC, new electric, new plumbing, new walls/configuration, and possibly dig out to create duplex down (two-level unit) or 3rd legal unit. Just trying to get a rough idea on costs, either cost per SF or estimated unit reno. We'd live in one unit and rent out the remaining unit(s).
