I find the use f price per sf on rehabs to be very, very inefficient and very inaccurate. Take for example 2 hones with identical size and bed/bath counts. Home 1 needs a new roof, new HVAC, new windows, and all the rest (kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, landscape). Home 2 needs only “the rest”. Home 2 rehab is going to be much less than home 1 since it did not need the roof, HVAC, windows. 

There are no shortcuts to determining rehab budgets and you must get to each property and assess line item by line item which tasks need to be completed. This takes time and lots of practice. Use an arbitrary price per sf at your own risk!
