Materials Cost List For DIY BRRR (cosmetic rehab)

[Liam Galbraith]

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

I'm a first time real estate investor looking to do my first BRRRR deal and figured I would start with something easy like a cosmetic rehab as I don't have a construction background. I'm currently learning about material costs and how to install everything I'll need to. Does anyone have a material price estimate sheet for items like flooring, paint interior/exterior, and basic wood siding etc. or have a suggestions as to where I can find one? I've tried putting together my own excel version but feel like I have nothing to compare it to. Any suggestions welcome, thank you!

When making a materials list, compare what you want at one store to what is available and similar at two or three or four other stores. At that point, you'll get a pretty good idea of the range of what certain things cost.

The best way to learn is to do. Take your time, build your list, and learn the price of materials.
