Every area has different costs for repairs - Even Chicago (where you are) and the Chicago suburbs (where I am). If you want a book that does a great job of helping estimate this cost I would pick up J Scott's Book : The book on estimating rehab costs ( you can get it on amazon). I found it to be pretty awesome as well as his book on flipping houses. Another idea that I have used is to get a contractor that you would use and have him walk you through a potential house that is for sale to give you an idea of what the cost would be. That way you can get an idea on an actual contractors cost.
