The problem I have seen across the board is that most agents simply don't understand the principles of investing, what investors are looking for or how to walk a property and adequately estimate repair costs.Unfortunately, most of these skills are only acquired through adequate study and conducting your own renovations.Not sure what your business model is or how exactly you are trying to outreach to investors or builders.

We prepped did a walk thru 2 weeks prior to order any needed supplies, we did some repair work early if we found that we could, Our Painter was not in house he was FABULOUS,, he would work non stop, and others followed as soon as he was done.

Of course, make any needed repairs.

Another way to get rough estimates on such repairs is HomeWyse.com, but as with the book, these costs are general and are only to be used as a guide.

Apartment buildings come with several repair  costs .

I’m sure you already know this, but don’t forget to take into account vacancy, repairs, capex, maintenance, utilities, etc etc.

@Rob BeardsleyI went with the lowest average rental rate for a similar property.Vacancy is 5%, Maintenance and repairs is 8%Cap Ex is 9% Property Management 10%

@Jim Shepard not a lot of meat left on the bond after a repair or two.

The inspector said it was all cosmetic, nothing structural, and they had made the proper repairs.
