Direct answer

Get 3 contractor bids, add 15% contingency, and lock pricing before close.

Expanded explanation

Use line-item scope of work — never lump-sum. Verify each contractor has insurance, license, and 3 references. Schedule progress draws against milestones.

Examples

  • $30k scope + 15% contingency = $34.5k rehab budget.
