Buying properties before seen

[Christopher G.]

Hey BP family... I'm a new investor in Houston, TX. I have a few realtors that may send me leads and I also search for leads myself. A question I have is, how do any of you decide if and how much to offer on a property before you have seen what the extent of the renovation would be (if you make an offer at that point at all). I feel like I may lose out on some deals if I have to wait to get my realtor, contractor and I all together in order to view a property before putting in any offer. Thank You!
