Hi everyone my weakness is understanding repair costs and until I get more experience I'm wondering what the best application is for your phone that will help you until you have more experience figure out remodeling costs to flip a property

An app isn't going to be able to accurately estimate rehab costs. There are too many variables that contribute to the equation: 

Are you hiring a GC or subcontractors? 

What type of Contractor? 

What type of house? 

What level of finishes? 

What time of year? 

What location? 

How good are your negotiation skills?

Plus a whole lot more...

Instead of relying on an app, learn the methodology for estimating repairs and create your own spreadsheets that will reflect your actual costs.
