He has been working for an Investor for a couple of years now and is going to teach me how he does his SOW and estimating the cost to renovate a property.I was hoping someone could give me some ideas on what to pay attention to or what type of questions to ask him during my visit.I purchased @J Scott book on Estimating Rehab Costs, which I will be taking with me and ask him questions that I had from the book, but I would appreciate input on what other things I should ask to get the most out of my time learning from him.Thank You

So i got an estimate and presented it to the tenants.

My thought is that working as a home inspector could be a good way to become proficient in understanding property values in this region and also building a better understanding of repair estimates.
