Learning to Estimate Repair Costs Accurately

[Samantha M.]

To find a great property it requires two things: accurate ARV and precise ERC. When learning to estimate ERC correctly I was thinking the best way to go about it is to find active rehabbers at REI clubs, see if you can tag along to a few of their properties if you get to know them.

Or call around and find general contractors/ contractors familiar with working with investors. See if they would allow you to visit properties they are working on, perhaps in exchange for future business if your wholesaling or even just offering them lunch.

Curious what others here would suggest.
