Hey Matt, I am from the Des Moines area. I have 19 years experience plumbing and have been working for a couple other investors in the area. Feel free to message me, I might be able to help you out depending on your needs. If not, I will be able to set you up with other professionals that best fit your needs.

Thank you David. I kind of figured it gets much easier with time and experience. I will look through your spread sheets! What method did you use when first starting out when time was of the essence?

I have a quick question for experienced flippers on estimating rehab costs. When you first started out how did you go about estimating costs? The wholesale properties in my area seem to be flying off the shelf hours after being listed, which leaves me little time to research cost on an individual basis. Did you research cost down to the last .20 outlet cover or just take an estimated guess and adjust from there as you turned more properties? Items like flooring are pretty cut and dry but not sure how to proceed with expensing out an entire bathroom or kitchen.
