Inspectors and Contractors

Berry Starnes
Posted

Newbie here. I'm currently getting my finances, agents, lenders, contractors, etc in order prior to finding deals.  When you have found a deal you believe may work, but need a better/closer estimate on rehab costs how do you go about having your contractors see the property?  Do you go ahead and put an offer on the deal and then get the inspector and contractor there at the same time during your inspection window?  Do you have the inspection done first and then bring your contractors?  Do you have multiple contractors take a look as I heard this is best to do?  Or do you simply take videos/photos during your initial view of the property and send it to them prior to making an offer?  I know once you get better at this you may wait until after an offer has been made to bring your contractor in for the majority. But, for my first one/few deals I don't want to waste everyone's time.

I would like to know your process.  Thanks in advance!
