Needing advice! Inspection & Contractors

[Dominique Walker]

Just starting out and have a property that needs work (drywall, flooring, etc.) the property has already been gutted (not by me) but I’m wondering if I need to hire an inspector to go through and tell me the issues with the property then hire a contractor and get a bid OR do I just need to hire the contractor and they will go through and inspect themselves then tell me how much it’ll be??

You already own the property, so just get 2-3 General Contractors to do a walk through and tell you what they think the SOW should be. Compare the proposals and see which one matches you idea of the work needed. Check their credentials.
