Total Rehab Budget vs Kitchen Renovation
Formel
## Estimating Rehab Costs Accurate rehab estimates are critical for house flipping, BRRRR investing, and renovation projects. Underestimating costs is the most common reason flips lose money. ### Major Cost Categories - **Kitchen**: Typically the most expensive room ($10,000-$40,000) - **Bathrooms**: $5,000-$20,000 per bathroom - **Flooring**: $3-$12 per square foot installed - **Paint**: $2-$5 per square foot (interior and exterior) - **Roof**: $5,000-$15,000 for full replacement - **HVAC**: $3,000-$8,000 for new system ### Budgeting Tips - Always include a 10-20% contingency for surprises - Get at least 3 contractor bids for large jobs - Permits can add 10-15% to specific trade costs - Factor in dumpster rental, storage, and staging

Häufig Gestellte Fragen
What does a full gut rehab cost?
A full gut rehab typically costs $60-$150 per square foot depending on market and finishes. A 1,500 sqft home might cost $90,000-$225,000. This includes stripping to studs and replacing all finishes, systems, and sometimes structural elements.
Should I use the 15% contingency on every project?
For properties you have not thoroughly inspected, use 15-20%. For properties where you have done a detailed scope of work with contractor input, 10% may suffice. Never go below 10% because unexpected issues are inevitable.
How do I reduce rehab costs?
Buy materials in bulk, use mid-grade finishes in standard areas, do cosmetic work yourself (painting, landscaping), negotiate volume discounts with contractors, and focus renovations on highest-ROI areas (kitchen, bathrooms, curb appeal).
