Do you get home inspection for properties that you wholesale?

[Daniel Pitta]

I have a buddy that wholesales properties in VA, and is telling me that it's a good idea to network with home inspectors to check out the property after you've gotten it under contract. From there he forwards the inspection report to a contractor to get an estimate on repairs. Depending on the estimate, he may revise his purchase price with the motivated seller. Is this customary for wholesalers to do? I've read a lot on this site and watched several YouTube videos re: wholesaling and never heard about anyone doing this, but it does sound like a good strategy.
