Hey does anyone have experience with getting an estimate on rehab costs through home depot. They offer free estimates on a bunch of categories. Seems like a good way to determine how much rehab a house needs before you buy it? any input?

I used Home Depot for a kitchen estimate, they use a 3rd party that pays HD a % of the total sale for them to be able to offer that program under the HD name. Quoted me $8900 just to reface my kitchen cabinets...lol what a joke don't waste your time.

They install lots of stuff but it is going to be very expensive because they mark it up a lot. If you can, try to run your own job so you can learn the costs and methods.

HD subs the work to local contractors. Call around and get the locals to come out. Build relationships and use same guys for all jobs and negotiate prices.
