Frequently Asked Questions

How do I estimate rehab costs without a contractor?

Use price-per-square-foot estimates: $25/sqft for cosmetic (paint, flooring, fixtures), $45/sqft for moderate (kitchen/bath updates, some systems), $65+/sqft for full gut renovations.

What are the biggest rehab cost drivers?

Kitchen and bathrooms are typically 40-50% of total rehab costs. HVAC, roof, and foundation issues can quickly add $15,000-$30,000 or more to your budget.

Should I always get contractor bids?

Yes, before going under contract on a flip. Get 2-3 bids from licensed contractors. Use the middle bid for budgeting and add 10-15% contingency for surprises.
