Not sure if it's allowed but if you have a contractor contact who could help you build an estimate of repairs it would be helpful to leave some copies on the kitchen counter as well as loading a copy of it up on the documents section of your MLS.

I've shot off a few emails to try and get some estimates but I'd like to hear what you guys think?

6) How can I find a realtor that specialize in the property type I am looking for and can estimate rental potential?

Pretty awesome idea @Jay Hinrichs I lived in central Indiana for the first 3 decades of my life. 30 minutes north of Indy is a fine area to catch the commuters that want to rent as customers.I still have friends and family in the area and based on your estimates I bet I could guess what city this is in but I'm not going to do that since you haven't stated it in the thread.Thank you for your contributions to this forum sir.

I've read, mostly, The one thing and J Scott's book on Estimating rehab costs.

The estimated value of the condo has jumped at least $60k in 2 1/2 years (it's in OC), so we don't want to touch that. 

My plan is to do a few flips this coming year and will need a GC to manage the project as well as help me with the estimates.  

My plan is to use an HML to fund the purchase and rehab costs so I'm trying to get an accurate estimate for closing costs.For example, if I use an HML and the purchase price is $50,000 with a rehab costs of $50,000 for a total loan amount of $100,000 (I understand it won't be 100% financed, but I just want to keep the numbers easy), is the total for the 3 previously mentioned costs $1,500 or $3,000?
