Rehab dollars to revenue lift, line by line, contractor by contractor. Detailed pre-launch rehab budget with ROI projection for Airbnb / STR investors. Catches the 30-50% over-budget trap. Excel + Google Sheets. Most rehabs go 30-50% over budget. The buyer didn’t have a line-item list — they had a guess. The contractor said “I can do it for $40K”; six months later, after “discovered” plumbing, “had to” upgrade the panel, and “while we’re at it” re-tiling, you wrote checks for $63K. This workbook is the line-item list that prevents it. Estimate, actual, variance, contractor, payment status — every renovation task tracked from demo day to ribbon-cutting. Plus an ROI projection so you know whether the renovation actually pays for itself in revenue lift. WHAT’S INCLUDED 📋 Line Items (200-row capacity) · 50+ pre-loaded common rehab tasks (paint, flooring, kitchen, bath, exterior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC) · Estimate, actual, variance per row · Variance >25% over flags red 📋 Contractor Directory · Every bidding contractor with categories, payment terms, contact info · Payment status per draw (1099-NEC tracker integration via TAX-003) 📋 Contingency Burn-Down · Track buffer usage as the project progresses · Below 50% remaining = warning · Below 25% = stop, re-budget 📋 ROI Projection · Per category: estimated revenue lift (kitchen reno → +$15/night ADR) · Payback period in months · Total rehab → total revenue lift dollar-multiple 📋 Final Cost Summary · Print-ready basis-step-up record (you’ll need this for depreciation) · Feeds TAX-013 Depreciation Tracker for the asset register
