The rate that you pay to process a credit card transaction is a combination of base costs and markups called merchant discount. Think of merchant discount as the retail price of credit card processing, base costs as raw material expenses and the markup as production costs.
I divided the rehab cost by the square footage and came up with a cost per square foot for each home. The rehab ranged from 7-15 dollars per sqft for an average of $12 per sqft. For example a 1000 sqft home should cost around $12,000 on average to do a cosmetic rehab.
Estimates of quality of life derived from our study show a non-significant greater gain from rehabilitation up to 1 year. Rehabilitation costs of $631 per patient were offset by a reduction in follow-up costs of $236, resulting in a net incremental cost per patient of $395.
