@J Scott Your books and website have helped me tremendously!  A sincere thank you for all the time and effort you put in.  I'll go back to the book and use the numbers you suggested.

Was wondering if anyone in Connecticut has any general but reliable numbers to use with rough rehab estimates that they would like to share.  I've read J Scott's books and understand that there is a long learning process with nailing down these numbers.  But every market is different and there are lots of experienced CT rehabbers on this site, so just wondering.  For example, in a recent forum post there was a great discussion regarding hard wood floor refinishing, and I learned that roughly $2 per sq ft was typical in our area.  Are there any other rough numbers that folks are using in our area to help nail down rehab costs?
