How to learn Rehab and Design for your property

I am looking into my first deals and I am struggling with understanding the rehab and design costs and actual tactics.

I understand that I do not have a background in construction and designing interiors, but surely there is a framework that I can apply to do this in a methodical way. How did you estimate costs and design your properties? Do you rely on your contractor for design? Do you hire a designer for the design?

Looking into SFH and Multi Families using the BRRRR Method.

Have you read J Scotts book on estimating rehab costs here https://store.biggerpockets.co...

Its totally worth the few dollars to have a resource like that. For design I really doubt any flippers use designers, unless they're in expensive markets, you can usually just look around at what the neighborhood is like and do something slightly better. What are the houses like in the areas you're looking to buy or would like to buy? What price range, finishes, what design elements make them stand out to you?
