Hello everyone.

I'm here in the SF Bay Area and starting on this journey... on the first property I came across, I was able to get a contractor to write me an estimate... the property is in very bad shape, but I was wanting to have an idea if the numbers (below) make sense with Bay Area reality...

Would anyone have an opinion on this?

Thank you very much!

Felipe

Thank you Sam

I got a project that I’m willing to put in contact in Redwood City... it’s a distressed home... contractor I took gave an estimate matching these numbers you mentioned...are you a cash buyer here in the Bay Area?

I’m getting some replies from contractors saying costs per sqft range from $200-$300... compared to what I leaned from other states, that’s a huge difference... so, I know costs for everything in the Bay Area are higher than any other place, but I’d like know if that’s accurate...

Thanks

Hi,

I'd like have an idea of average cost per square footage as far as a 1) light cosmetic fix, 2) full renovations and also 3) gut renovations in the San Francisco Bay Area...

Thank you,

Felipe
