Estimating Rehab Costs

[Silas Melson]

New investor here. I’m stuck when I try to run numbers on a potential deal, how do you generally estimate rehab costs? I don’t know where to start on such topic.

Pay a contractor to walk the property or multiple to get a idea. Have them give you an itemized general scope. Each property is different and needs different things.

At least until you have quite done a few....
