Contractor Walk-trhough / Scope of Work

I have not flipped my 1st house yet. I am analyzing deals and in doing so I am making rehab estimates using a square footage estimate. I have 2 questions.

1. when something seems like it fits my numbers should I put the offer in and then walk-through with a contractor after the offer is accepted (and if at that point if I'm way off can I back out).

2. How do I get contractors to be willing to do a walk-through with a newbie investor?

2b. any recommendations for good GCs in Los Angeles (I'm near USC)

Thank you

@Arthur Fuller II I'll make it easy for you, call me when you're ready, I don't service residential clients but I will teach you on how things get done as a contractor, more valuable than any forum post.
