Rehab Costs for SF Bay Area?

[Stephen Swanson]

Hi Bigger Pockets peeps, I'm new to flipping and I know a big part of it is estimating rehab costs.   I'm targeting East Bay suburban, SFHs under $1M before renovation.

I've read the book "Estimating Rehab Costs" by J. Scott, and watched recent videos from Bay Area flippers.  It seems the "average" flip construction costs are running $50-$100 sq. ft., if hiring a GC, and assuming no issues like structural or foundation repairs (which I wouldn't touch anyway), and not a high-end flip.

Ifs anyone is willing to share advice, especially some relevant line item contractor bids, that would be a tremendous help.  Thanks!
