I believe the one good thing about that spreadsheet is that it can be adjusted by the State you live in. because costs are different in every State the estimate sheet i believe is based on a multiplier for the corresponding State, as most cost estimating books are based. that program does break down a lot of information for you and i think it is a good program, one thing you may want to check is if the program updates every year with current multipliers for the States ( program is probably based on a starting average value for each thing and then the multiplier changes as prices for materials change) and you want to make sure it does that.

The “process” is the same as opposed to how the marketing is different in each state depending on whether it is a judicial process (court filings with a judge) or non judicial ( Lender simply posting in a legal newspaper)Yes,a short sale can be done by a homeowner without a foreclosure date if they are being relocated by their Company more than 50 miles but in this group we are real estate investors and it is hard to target a “list” of those home owners who may have received a job promotion AND think their home is worth less than the total debt.
