repair cost
I could use some advice as to how people do repair estimates. i go by the 10,20,30 per sqft depending on condition of house? is this a good method? i would appreciate if there are better methods.

@Juan Najar "Repair estimate" for what? There is no better way to lose money than to try and estimate renovations by the sq ft. There is no shortcut. Figure out what needs to be done and then get actual estimates.
