Hi Moguls, Lex Levinrad back again with another awesomely helpful real estate investing lesson for you.
I’ve got a 3-parter for you about estimating the costs to repair a property including the material and labor expenses. The repair estimate is a crucial component of the After Repair Value (ARV) Formula, which we discussed in my last 2 lessons.
We first learned why it’s so important to understand the After Repair Value (ARV), and then using the formula, we calculated how much to offer a seller for their property. Then in the follow-up lesson, we talked about questions to ask the seller, comps and the difference between cash sales and retail sales.

Today’s Part 1 will provide an overview of how to estimate repair costs by understanding the material…
