9 Principles From The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs by J. Scott That I Learned: The Investor's Guide to Defining Your Renovation Plan, Building Your Budget, and Knowing Exactly How Much It All Costs
Every house has a story. Sometimes it's the cracked paint on the windowsill that whispers of decades of rain and sun. Sometimes it's the creak in the staircase that hints at the hurried footsteps of children long since grown.
But for the investor—the person who sees opportunity where others see decay—the story is written in numbers. How much will it cost to repair that window?
How many dollars will it take to reinforce those stairs? And, perhaps most importantly, will the price of renewal leave room for profit once the dust has settled?
That is the puzzle at the heart of J. Scott's The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs. On the surface, it is about dollars and cents, the arithmetic of renovation.
Yet beneath the surface, it is also about judgment. Because estimating is not just counting. It is interpreting. It is looking at a cracked foundation and asking: is this the beginning of collapse, or just a cosmetic inconvenience?
It is standing in an outdated kitchen and imagining two different futures—the one in which you patch the linoleum floor, and the one in which you strip it all away for granite and stainless steel.
