Walk-through before presenting an offer?

[Sydni Chattman]

Hello all,

Newbie here! 

Prior to presenting an offer to a homeowner whose home is in definite need of many repairs, do you recommend doing a walk through of the property? If so, how soon and how would you go about in doing so? 

There's a prospect home I'm looking into, the exterior looks horrid.(beautiful for investors!)  So I don't know what the interior looks like or what type of work would need to be done inside. 

My advice helps!
