Working With A GC On First Deal

[Evin Lynch]

Hey everyone, my wife and I are looking for our first home. We are looking for a property that needs some love and our plan is to do some version of a “live-in” flip. Obviously, being able to calculate renovation costs is a big part of deciding which property to purchase and at what price. My questions is: Do you/would you have a general contractor walk different prospective properties with you to get an accurate estimate on rehab costs? Is this something that GC’s are typically willing to do? I would love to hear other’s experience with this and I’m also open to feedback/questions. 

Thanks in advance,

Evin
