Fix and Flip Cost Estimation
Hi BP Family,
I'm looking at a property to purchase, fix, and flip in my hometown. I live more than 12 hours away so I'm unable to go on site but the realtor has gone on sight and provided me with a walk-through video and commentary. My question is, in J. Scott's book on Flipping houses, he recommends getting three estimates from contractors.
How can I have three different contractors view the home to bid on the work? Especially considering my agent is very busy and working and I don't live in the same city as the potential deal.
Thanks for reading and for any replies.
