Once you know the houses in your area pretty well, using those 25 components makes it a lot easier to estimate back-of-the-napkin.For example, I know that for a specific type of four bedroom, two bath house in my area, it costs about $2,000 for all new electrical fixtures, about $2,000 for all new plumbing fixtures, about $3,000 for interior paint, about $7,000 for new flooring, about $8,000 for new cabinets and countertops, about $2,500 for all new appliances and about $1,000 for miscellaneous cosmetic stuff.So, when I walk into one of those houses, I know right off the bat that I will spend about $25,000 for a full cosmetic rehab.But that exact same scope of work for a different type of house with different finishes in another state where I rehab would cost much different for a cosmetic rehab.

Ahmed Youssef Turnkey is asking to ignore the appraisal value

Which means if I’m buying from turnkey I lose any instant equity, but it doesn’t mean I have to lose the next few years equity upfrontSecond, I don’t see this as legit, because that wasn’t mentioned upfront, we went through a series of emails over the span of 20 days, and I already ran the number using the inputs I have, adding an unexpected $10K in an 8 pages contract which you haven’t mentioned anything about is not a good sign, and it will also affect the COC greatly since the purchase price is $130K and the down payment is $32k, that’s almost 30% of the investment cash
