Just my 2 cents based on info we have Yes, I can get all 18-units done for $60,000 (labor and material for drywall, including mudding and sanding). 

I think you may see it ramp up a tad if the cost of making repairs/cost of materials increases again as it is projected to do, and it will in turn push more people to look for homes that have all of the things they are looking for. 

Only 1 in 10 will be actually worth sending to your investors (which is why you need a "f*ck ton" of them, but when you find that one package it with comps and send it to your investor clients asking if anyone is interested.

@Mark Small, you’re on target that standard VA home loans are intended to put military members and veterans into move-in ready homes that don’t require significant repairs.There is a separate loan product called the VA Renovation loan, which essentially packages a home purchase loan and a home improvement loan into a single product.  

Building materials that are cost effective but good quality.
