A real estate deal may look like a home run on paper, but you can’t know for certain until you’ve walked the property and uncovered exactly what needs to be fixed!

Budgeting for renovations is one of the things that trips new investors up, which is why we’re bringing you a two-part series on estimating rehab costs. In part one, we’re taking a deep dive into the “big five”—the five major home systems that can make or break your next investment. We’re covering everything from roof to foundation, and even a bonus sixth system that’s much more costly to replace than you probably think.

These are the line items that strike fear into investors due to their potentially high price tags. But rather than passing on a great deal, you’ll learn exactly what to look for when inspecting these systems, how much it costs to repair or replace them, and when to bring in an expert.

Whether you’re flipping houses or making improvements to raise rents, these are the tips and tricks you need to accurately create your budget, avoid expensive surprises, and ensure you’re buying a great property—not a money pit!
