When to bring in a contractor to see if it's worth buying

[Jerell Williams]

I'm new to BP forum even though I've been listening to the podcasts for a few months. I've seen some put the house under contract and then bring in a contractor for estimates and then I've heard others tour the home with a contractor. Being my first investment, which should I do?

@Jerell Williams I have one contractor I work with. He of course works with other clients. He would rather look at a property on the initial viewing to determine if he’s on board and doesn’t see any immediate total disqualifying issues than have me waste a bunch of my time and money to find out there’s a major structural issue he doesn’t want to deal with or something after inspections and contracts.

If you’re just beginning you probably won’t have this luxury yet until you get a larger team developed.
