Wholesaling - thoughts on business model?

[Ryan Evans]

Hello BiggerPockets community -

My name is Ryan Evans - I am a brand new investor located in Atlanta, GA. I am thinking of wholesaling to build some capital for my first investment, and I was trying to gauge thoughts on my business model from experienced investors.

My background is in construction consulting meaning I spend everyday writing estimates to repair damaged properties. I was thinking of using this practice as an asset in my wholesaling practice by providing very detailed repair/rehab costs including a full scope of work. In your opinion, is this added value to wholesaling? Could you use these estimates when negotiating with your contractor? Essentially, is it worth the time for me to put effort into this, or will it be disregarded in practice?

Thanks!
