Viewing a Property
When a potential buyer goes to see a property should a contractor be there for the viewing because as a new investor I wouldn't have any idea on an estimated repair cost or is that what the inspection is for?

If you can't assess the work that needs to be done or the cost to do that work, you're going to need someone to help you with that process. A good contractor can do that for you, but keep in mind that if you're asking a contractor to view properties with you, you'll likely need to compensate him for his time in some way.
