Expectations for Renovations in Austin 2022

[Dustin Bowman]

I've looked at some brrrr opportunities duplex/quads that would need full kitchen/bath remodels, floors, paint, fixtures. 

It's hard to get a sense of what to expect in this white hot Austin market before I get under contract and get estimates. 

Any rough estimates for cost/sq ft? 

What are lead times these days to have this kind of work done?

There are a lot of variables to what you are asking.  Construction costs can vary widely depending on....

1) Type of contractor you are using

2) Existing condition of place (foundation, plumbing, moving any walls)

3) Type of material using (flooring, countertops, fixtures and appliances)

Depending on what you are doing it could range from $15K to $150K and between 2 weeks to 6 months.  Ideally, you want an Investment Realtor or contractor to come with you to the place and let you know what you are looking at.  IMO
