What is the best way to evaluate repairs needed?

[Nick Dunin]

I have no rehab/construction experience. I dont know what jobs cost what. Im pretty much a newbie!

I think I've come up to what I think may be a good opportunity for a rehab flip. What is the best way for someone in my situation to evaluate what repairs are needed and how much they would cost (ballpark), before I decide to buy this house?

Home inspectors dont do this sort of work, do they? Do I hire a GC to do it? My biggest fear is getting in over my head from underestimating repairs and LOSING money. And the sh*t I would catch from my wife for doing so.

Thanks.
