While cap rate can give you a hint toward your ROI, it is not generally used to estimate your ROI on any given investment or time frame.

What is the best way to, for example, estimate rents on a duplex?

Hi All -  I have been investing for a couple of years and even though I can estimate the cash on cash of new listings by eyeballing, I still like to verify before putting in an offer.

So here are my questions: 1) Do you use a general contractor to estimate how much the rehab will be?

I have done analysis ARV of $300,000 (conservative since it's my first flip), rehab cost estimated ~$30k put offer in at $180,000 and agreed to meet in the middle purchase price $184,500 How did you finance this deal?

The apartment is pretty outdated so I’m estimating renovations would be ~$10k.

Their estimate is $800million or $11k per car.

I'm not terribly confident on my rehab numbers at this point -- using a rehab estimate spreadsheet from somewhere in Biggerpockets. 

Its not an agents job to estimate a rehab budget.

Does anyone use short term rental estimators that they like?
