granite and stainless in every unit. very ornate tile showers.

@Jonathan GreeneAfter a closer examination we noticed the showerhead was leaking keeping the jacuzzi bathtub platform always wet, the bathroom wall tiles also tend to get wet and we mostly observed titles and tub turning dark with our earlier tenants but not with our previous tenants who were a family.

I do the designing, and also work with vendors, shop for best deals, pick up the products and supplies, then if I have extra time I help with the physical work and do paint, trim, bath tile installs, flooring, roofing, wood cutting and more!

There is also alot of work that needs to be done around the house like painting, repairing some rotten wood (decorative) around the exterior of the home, drywall repairs from replacing the copper pipes, finishing the tile in the master bedroom, updating the kitchen and master bathroom, painting inside and out.

If you have a CPA, you should lean on them, or perhaps scout for another CPA if you're current CPA isn't comfortable with the fact pattern.

Scope includes framing/drywall work, tile/grout in bathroom, flooring, painting, and lighting fixture installation.

For any real estate investment, I take the simple approach - is the property going to give me the cash flow pattern I need?

I don't mention the address, or the other agent, but I may comment on how much I enjoy or like a specific feature, how much I love the tile work etc.

This will help you get a better idea of what tile, hardwood, carpet, plumbing fixtures and light fixtures costs for your rehabs.#3 Contact Local Contractors for Labor Pricing / Hire a GC to ConsultCall local Subcontractors and get budget pricing for common repairs on your typical rehab project.For example, call a roofer and ask what their average cost per Square of Architectural Asphalt Shingle Roofing would be on a 1,500 sf house, with a 6/12 pitch.Note: Some contractors will be reluctant to share pricing without seeing the property, but tell them you are just looking for a rough budget number you can use on future projects.You can also pay a General Contractor a consulting fee of a couple of hundred dollars (per house) to walkthrough a few properties with you and provide a detailed estimate of prices that you can use as your 'menu for future projects.#4 Compile Your Prices into a Spreadsheet or Estimating SoftwareOnce you start to get a better understanding of Labor and Material costs you will want to store this data into a spreadsheet or software that you can use to help you streamline the estimating process.The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs comes with a spreadsheet that you can use to help you populate your own database of labor pricing and material pricing.
