Timing of bringing in an inspector and a contractor

[Tim Matthews]

Hello, all. 

I've gathered lots of material on the purchasing process of a rental property, but there are a few things that I haven't seen described clear enough. During the purchasing process of a BRRRR property or even simply a buy-and-hold property, at what stage of the process should I, the seller, bring in an inspector to inspect the property and the contractor to see what type of problems there are and the cost to fix them? Should they be brought into the process before making the offer, during the offer, or after? Or do they come in at different times?
