Shell to finish out, cost guesstimate
I found a duplex in shell only condition. This was a new build that stopped at the shell. Sewer is in place and plumbed through slab to main line. Inside is studs only. Needs everything, electric, plumbing rough & finish, HVAC, insulation, drywall, kitchen etc.
The roof is in new condition, windows are in place. Plumbing can be done at cost of parts as my brother is a master plumber and I get the family discount.
Please throw me some rough guesses as to cost to finish out from shell so that I can work some rough numbers to see if it is worth dragging a contractor out for a more definite $ amount.
I could guess at this repair or that for a simple rehab, but how to guess at this? Property is located in the San Antonio, TX area. Each side is 1100sf 3 bed 2 bath. This will be held as a rental in a working class neighborhood.
Let the flogging begin! Thanks for your input.

That could definitely be the case...again, just not enough info...
Just to give an idea of where my numbers came from:
We turned this:

Into this:

The house was about 1300 square feet, so that was about $30/sf (and we spent about $3000 on mold remediation in that price).
