Is anyone tracking why their rehab estimate changed?
I don’t really need another dashboard that tells me a deal “might work.”
The part that feels messy is what happens after the first estimate.
An inspection note becomes a rough repair number. Then a contractor walks it and changes the scope. Then the lender wants a cleaner budget. Then the actual invoice comes in differently again. A few weeks later, nobody remembers why the original number changed or which assumption was wrong.
That seems like the part most tools skip.
Is anyone using software that tracks the rehab scope from first estimate to contractor bid to actual cost? Or is everyone still piecing it together with spreadsheets, photos, texts, and Google Drive?
