I have a home inspector provide me with a complete list broken down by trade areas. I give the list to
each tradesman and have them quote the job from there.
After a few, gutting a bathroom is about the same amount of money. You will get good at estimating.

I have just bought one, and have three pending bids on HUD houses. I’m following the program, but there was no checklist for improvements to run-down properties.

I need a consistant way to evaluate houses so that when I’m doing more volume, (1) I can more consistantly evaluate how much I’ll have to put into the house, (2) More accurately compare the cost of supplies from one house to another, (3) Keep my partners and I on the same page in reference to timelines, cost, and variances.

Any suggestions?
