I estimate cleaning costs/charges based on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms.

Utilize checklists and capex estimators to capture essential information and assess the property's condition accurately.Take advantage of property tours to gather valuable insights and make informed decisions.

I am close to the owner so I can discuss options.These are details and some rough numbers: - Location: Vienna , VA - No mortgage on house (free and clear)- Purchased year: Around 1980- Purchased price: around $50,000- Type: 3 bed - 2 1/2 bath single family- Market price: $920K (not appraised yet but numbers from Zillow)- Market rent : $3,400/mo (from BP Rent estimator)- Insurance $2,000 /yr- Taxes $9,300 /yr- Management $3,260/yr (I do not want to manage )- Repairs: TBDThe numbers do not work with conventional financing (20% down, 7% interest, 30 yr) so I want to think of creative financing ways.

Those who give me an estimate, don't give me a break up of costs.

I think the cost estimates are conservative, the sale price is more on the "best case" end of things. - I get the "hire a GC" argument.

They also have an offer estimation engine for various strategies of creative deal-making.  

I personally like the rehab estimator on here.1.

@Tom JensenI have a whole life insurance policy that was sold to me back before I knew anything approximately 5 years ago.

Loan balance is about 133k and current zillow estimate is 308k.

Then 3rd day adjuster visited and later provided estimates of $2.3k that was somewhat I was ok with and meanwhile one dehumidifiers and 4/5 fans were continuously running in basement so far 5 days passed .
