Hey all, I am a new-ish investor who's completed a couple of relatively low repair cost flips.Because of my relative inexperience to the industry wondering if someone here (or someone recommended) could assist me in estimating the costs of repairs on a house I am looking to purchase and flip?

For example, say your estimated value of 140K is correct, you could possibly walk away with 50K in a cash out refinance after renovations, and 25% down payment.

A famous politician once said "Don't under estimate a politicians ability to screw things up!"

As I attempt to buy my first duplex/triplex/quadplex, and seeing as I currently have no frame of reference, I'm having a difficult time knowing if my expense estimates are accurate. 

Conversion also estimated to be smooth because of architectural style.

I know there is an existing mortgage, and I'm going to see if any other liens which I'm going to check with the county Monday for estimated amounts. is there anything, like out of the blue, that I should be thinking or considering about?

So trying to rethink the strategy and buy a 2 or 3 bedroom SFH or a condo (if I find a rare HOA that allows STRs) within Boston/Cambridge urban areas and doing a short term rental in additional rooms.

Hello,I'm interested in getting started with investing in real estate and I'm curious about the accuracy of sites like redfin or zillow - Particularly the info which shows the estimated annual principal, interest, and taxes.

I plan to get 2 more estimates and run new numbers.

(All rough estimates based off comparable properties in the area... and coming from a newbie, myself... so might be less.)THE ISSUEMy father owns the duplex outright with no outstanding mortgage or liens from taxes.
