I'm currently looking at a few potential single-family fixer-uppers (some in Worcester, Taunton, and near Dorchester), and I could really use some expert advice on current rehab costs for different scopes of work.Here are some numbers I've gathered from my contractor friends.

One of the main reasons Chicago has a leg up is the number of jobs opportunities.

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

Working in construction can give you a leg up here- you can probably eyeball  a fixer upper and get some numbers going mentally to calculate the scale of project you are taking on. 3.

For the home I'm buying the parts and fixtures for now for two full baths completely gutted, which will be not upper middle or higher end for this market but high end with a incredible older (1938) home that's been updated with a very high end kitchen and more but two original and very obsolete baths upstairs, for the shower for instance, I'm quite sure a normal mixer and shower head, even if its a nice set, won't cut it.

You can click on the magnifying glass in the upper corner.

For example, are you for a turnkey or fixer upper, STR or LTR?

I just missed a deal in Reston for a fixer upper that was well below assessment.

A fixer upper would be more likely to get a deal on.Certain areas like Orlando are very saturated and therefore competitive to keep rented at a good price.Research insurance premiums because they have gone through the roof in Florida and other areas.

If you want access to the MLS and want to do all of the leg work, then you should become an agent.
