Rough Installment Rates

Vince Ponath
Posted

Hello, my name is Vince Ponath and I’m very new to home investment. I have worked in many different construction and design fields for the past 12 years and have yet to purchase my first home. I’ve been learning all I can for the past 3 months now and the biggest trouble I have run into is closely related to my expertise. I am having a hard time understanding a close to exact price for a rehab before putting an offer down. I know how to complete many forms of construction, but I don’t have much experience bidding out jobs for whole homes. Not many contractors I have talked to can provide me with a quote without first walking through the home with me, which I can’t have happen until I purchase the home. With this being my issue, I’m looking for a person with experience in pricing out different scopes of work for entire homes. Being over priced in your estimate is not bad for me as long as it is based on experienced. I know how to provide detailed information and what questions to ask, I just don’t know the average prices for the greater Seattle area. Any help would be much appreciated.
