Budget example ( line items please)
What would a budget look like if I were looking to rehab?
Most Popular Reply

In order to budget for a rehab you first need to put together a scope of work. You then use that scope of work to create the budget and schedule. If you plan to hire a GC, then have 3 or 4 of them all bid on that scope of work. This way you are comparing apples to apples. If you don't know how to put a scope of work together, then you need to learn that first and foremost.

I also recommend reading these two books:
The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs
You can get them both here: Flipping and Estimating Bundle
