Seeking Advice on Estimated Repair Costs in Columbus, OH

Hi BiggerPockets community,


I'm in the process of evaluating a condo in Columbus, OH and have attached a screenshot of the inspection report summary, which highlights several areas that need attention.

I'm seeking:

  1. Estimates: Any rough estimates from experienced investors or contractors familiar with the Columbus market would be immensely helpful. Even ballpark figures can guide me in the right direction.
  2. Referrals: If you've had positive experiences with contractors in Columbus who specialize in any of these areas, I would greatly appreciate your recommendations.

Your insights and assistance will be invaluable.

You could fix a lot of this stuff with a few hours and a couple hundred bucks Lowes trip

There are also a lot of items I would not do

Did you speak to your inspector about these items yet?

This job is not really worth a contractor's time. So if they quote it out for you they will probably charge $10,000 just to make it worth it to them

    @Mohamed Gharib
    Make sure you check the condo documents. Some can not be rented out. If that is the case you could just get stuck with a condo you can't rent which is a tough spot to be in.

    Thank you, @Remington Lyman, for sharing your valuable insights. Can you provide more details on the specific tasks you wouldn't do? Additionally, in your experience, when is it more suitable to hire a contractor versus a handyman?
