appraisal

[Sophie Andrews]

Hello,

I am a starting investor. An older lady wants to talk to me about selling her home. She informed me that the house needs a lot of repairs and she has never gotten an appraisal, therefore has no clue how much to quote for the house. I do not want to take advantage of an old person. Please tell me to best way to direct her. I am meeting with her this afternoon to view the property. My questions are: should I find her an appraiser? How do I estimate repair cost? Also, if there is any local appraiser, please leave your info. Thank you
