EDIT:May benefit to skip to page 3, as pricing out each section seemed to be an underestimate.
Here is a spreadsheet that I have created trying to break the costs down. LINK
Those figures are ones that I know will be similar situations for each house. As you can tell I left out any finish materials other than what it takes to seal a house up.
I'm not necessarily asking if my figures seem realistic, but I am open to opinions.
I'd like to know what areas I have missed, and then a whole hearted opinion on the options of building my own house, or buying the fixer-upper and reworking a few things. It's a heck of a lot of work to renovate down to the walls in old lath and plaster places. It's also a lot of work to build a modest house :laughing:
