Scope summary

  • What you are really buying based on photos + your stated plan
  • Implicit assumptions surfaced (additions? layout changes?)
2

Construction risk callouts

  • Slab cracking visible in photo 4 — $15K+ if structural
  • Permit jurisdiction is 6–8 weeks here, not 3–4
  • Roof age + slope suggests full replacement, not patch
3

Budget range with confidence

  • Likely $95K–$135K for the scope as described
  • High confidence on kitchen + baths; low on structural
  • Add 12% soft costs (permits, carry, contingency)
4

Timeline range

  • 14–18 weeks from permit pull, not 8–10
  • Local queue + Q3 start = 4-month minimum
5

Walk-away trigger

  • "Walk if seller will not drop $20K — OR if slab cannot be verified before EMD goes hard."

When to use this

You need a construction-side opinion on this deal before earnest money goes hard — but you do not need a line-item budget yet.

Get a decision-grade read: scope feasibility, a rough budget range you can underwrite with, the risks worth knowing before close, and a clear go / renegotiate / walk recommendation.

  • Before earnest money goes hard
  • When you are weighing multiple deals
  • When your spreadsheet needs a real construction number
  • Before submitting an offer

Best fit for

Best before earnest money goes hard on a deal you do not own yet — when you need a number you can underwrite with, not a bid sheet.

Why this fits

Investors need a number they can plug into deal math, not a contractor bid sheet.

We were about to sink more money in before they walked us through what was actually wrong. Saved us from a bad call.
