Why a range, not a number
The truth is always in the middle. But you underwrite at the high — that pads for the surprise (rotted subfloor, hidden mold, electrical from 1962). There is always a surprise.
CFL contractor reality 2026
Hurricane code, 4-pt inspection requirements, insurance-pushed material upgrades — all of it pushes CFL rehab 15-30% above the national BiggerPockets average. Use FL-specific bands.
Permits matter
Skipping permits saves $1-3K and costs $15-30K when the inspector finds it. Always permit major systems (roof, HVAC, electrical) and structural changes.
