(THESE ARE ALL ESTIMATES UNTIL I GET MAINTENANCE COST THAN I WILL GIVE NEW OFFER)Also take into consideration this is not so much a 5 plex conversion, it acutally seemed like an apartment building but just a very old one from the 1900s.

I estimate it would take 30-40 rental units to need to spend 750 hours a year managing them.  

I estimate my crew and I can fix it for (3k).

Do you know the exceedence interval that estimate is from (e.g. 100-Year Flood = 1% chance of water reaching that elevation in a given year)?  

Things like local renter density, vacancy rate, rent estimate, etc..  

Anyone here use Xactimate or similar to estimate rehab costs?
