I read J Scott’s “Estimating Rehab Costs” book and I am about to read through it again. Is there an updated version planned or a comparable book with updated numbers available?

To be honest, prices for material and services change constantly and any book will be outdated as soon as it hits the streets. I have found them to provide a roadmap so to speak and I do my own legwork to get local prices in my area (I am not a virtual investor). A spreadsheet that contains what you see as the big ticket items in your area will serve you well to dial in what reno costs will be

Aloha,
Actually, there is a source that includes quarterly pricing updates on regional materials, that in the past, I found very reasonably accurate. https://hometechonline.com/
