CONTRACTOR'S DELIGHT-REPAIR ESTIMATES IN BALTIMORE

[Courtney Rollins]

Arggh! I am determined to get better at estimating rehab cost in Baltimore market. A local investor helped me create a list of estimates for rentals as well as for fix and flips. She shared her approximations but suggested I ask other experienced rehabbers and contractors to get a better sense of market prices. Any help from folks who know the Baltimore City and the greater Baltimore market would greatly be appreciated! The estimates below include labor.
