How to Evaluate Rehab Cost

[Giovanni Brown]

Hello everyone! I am relatively new real estate investing but have done my fair share of researching and am now looking to start up my business centered around wholesaling then work my way up to Fix & Flips, Holds, and Rental properties. My area of interest is Southern California and Missouri. I am open to private messages or replies on this thread whatever is most convenient for you (also looking for advice from fellow wholesalers in these areas). So currently I am looking for someone who is experienced in wholesaling in these areas or anyone in general that may be able to offer advice on any of the following:

Any links on how to evaluate rehab cost

• Where to start?
  • Example what house items are most expensive, where to get cost analysis etc.
• I've seen articles on here for a quick and dirty way of estimating based on cost per square foot, does anyone use this method?
• Common methods for quick and reliable rehab checklist 

Any information on this topic would be highly appreciated.
