A thoroughly completed Repair Estimate Form is one of the most important tools for a successful project and a smooth loan process. For borrowers, it provides a clear framework to plan, scope, and execute the rehab from start to finish, helping you think through the work in a logical, organized way before construction begins. For REIA Hard Money, a detailed repair sheet—supported by photos, videos, and a clear scope of work—gives our underwriting team the full story of the project. This allows us to optimize underwriting, accurately evaluate risk, and deliver the most precise ARV analysis possible.

The example below represents exactly what we look for from our borrowers and sets the standard for a complete, well-documented repair estimate. Take a look at and download this example of a complete repair sheet to use as a guide when preparing your own.
