Hey Dennis,

I’ve been using the same contractors for several years now, so I have a very good idea of what they charge for different types of jobs. That said, doing what you suggest (starting with rough estimates and iterating as you get bids) is definitely the way to go. Just make sure you start very conservative, so that when you fill in actual numbers (from actual bids), you don’t have to worry about your budget skyrocketing.

Great spreadsheet-it helps put a lot of things side by side so that I can get my mind around what all needs to be considered as well as the associated costs. I am curious as to how you estimate your labor cost. Do you start out with a rough estimate and adjust as you go along?

Hi. No matter what I do, no matter how much updating I do with Microsoft Word, I cannot download the Business Plan. Is there any other way I can receive it?

Thanks so much! I’m using your spreadsheet along with several other resources to come up with a rehab analysis tool to analyze my deals. Your spreadsheet is really helpful to me for comparison. Where, out of curiousity, was this house located? Thanks again!! Amanda

Hi Amanda,

That house was about 1900 square feet. That said, I wouldn’t use this spreadsheet as an estimation tool…it’s definitely not meant to be used that way. It’s more of a template you can use to analyze a deal, using your own rehab numbers.

EXTREMELY HELPFUL!! Thank you! I just paid for a rehab estimator and am much happier with the one you just provided me. One big question I had, though, is what is the square footage roughly of the house you were estimating? Thanks again, Amanda
