#408 Cost of Repairs Pt 1 on Flipping America Radio

Published: Sept. 13, 2020, 4:27 p.m.

Ask someone how to know what it costs and the usual answer is, “get out there and fix a few properties - then you’ll know.” This is almost like saying - go lose money on a few deals and you’ll figure it out. This actually works sometimes! But you may prefer to NOT lose money. If so, you MUST know what it’s going to cost you to repair a property.

I’m joined on the call by Pat Dornan, licensed contractor, licensed Realtor, rehab investor, and founder of FlipCalcPro. Pat has rehabbed hundreds of properties and brings a wealth of experience to the call. We will consider a number of issues including:
How to look at a house online.
How to estimate after seeing only the outside.
How to look at a house in person.
What things cost
What to pay for labor
