This online tool takes the pain out of your rehab cost estimates

Hey Everyone,

This is Kuba Fietkiewicz, founder of online house flipping software REIkit.com, based in Los Angeles. Today I wanted to discuss common barriers to getting accurate property rehab cost estimates for your fix and flips.

If you've already flipped a few properties, you have some idea of how to approach getting construction cost estimates and maybe even have a solid process in place for doing so on future flips. The question is, if you're estimating your own rehab costs without a GC, how much time and effort did you spend in itemizing, quantifying, and estimating costs in a spreadsheet or on paper? Were you able to estimate reasonably accurate material and labor costs for all of those repair items?

When doing my own flips, I found that my rehab repair items were a pain to type up, sort, and price, and that's why I created the online Rehab Estimate tool.

In the Detailed Cost Estimate section of the tool, you'll find every item you need to price out repairs -- down to the quantity, size, and cost of the nails used for drywall. Simply browse for the item, enter the quantity, and the tool calculates a material and labor unit cost and adds it to your project list.

The best part is that all of the costs are pulled right out of the 2018 Construction Cost books by one of the most respected names in the industry. In addition, they are indexed to a zip code, meaning that the costs you find in the tool are the most up-to-date and accurate for your area.

If you'd like to see how the Rehab Estimate tool works for your business, click here to try it out: https://www.reikit.com

Any questions or feedback about the software, I'd love to hear it in the comments below.

Cheers!

Kuba
