Perhaps on higher end homes it is different but it sounds like you are talking average Joe, blue collar, housing.

Quote from @Joe Homs: @Kandarp Patel Have you tried the Big banks.

Contractor quoted me 4k for the labor.

It may take a person average $0.5 material cost (card or paper and envelope, ink and postage) and plus whatever cost they view their labor cost is to send one mail out.

Thanks Joe for the reply.

I took an excel sheet I found online (from "Tactica") and tweaked it a bit to help track and compare different major cities/ different local cities by taking its population growth, labor stats, and rental stats/ multifamily stock to help someone visualize the different places and see where their next investment could be.

Does anyone have a sense of what materials + labor would cost here?

In fact, in fact… core goods (stuff you can buy) are underperforming services (people do/provide labor for you).

The labor may be more expensive in high value markets (but surprisingly San Diego labor values are not that high).
