I am seeing prices for light rehab (some Sheet rock, paint, grout, caulk, moldings) for about $3,000 for a one bedroom unit- I mean there are so many ways you can define what is light rehab vs medium etc- but I got a few quotes for painting/some sheet rocking, new moldings, etc and that seemed to be the range (like 2500-3500$ for a one bedroom) including materialsplus an additional 300$ to clean out debris, and window repairs I'm still waiting on separate estimates for but can share information on what I get back :)
