See the full deal
Repairs only tell part of the story. Holding costs, selling costs, and ARV decide the margin.
Compare leads with the same assumptions
Use consistent categories so it is easier to decide which properties deserve follow-up.
How to calculate estimates for rehabs
Keep your numbers grounded in local pricing, recent comps, and the actual scope of work.
Break the scope into repair categories like kitchen, bath, flooring, paint, roof, HVAC, and other.
Estimate each category with local labor and material pricing, then add a contingency for unknowns.
Confirm ARV with nearby comparable sales.
Add purchase price, expected holding costs, months held, and selling costs.
Compare the estimated sale price against all costs to review net profit, ROI, and profit margin.
