Rehab Repair Estimate

I found a home I'd like to purchase and rehab. I've been having trouble getting contractors to visit the property with me. What's the best way to get contractors estimate of repairs? I'd like to make sure my offer has the proper repair estimates taken into account so I don't shoot myself in the foot.

Hey Chris Harper

Getting contractors to go out is hard because there is so much work they are looking for things that are guaranteed, already purchased properties. I specialize working with investors so I’m willing to come out before the property is purchased because I’m looking to build relationships and most investors starting out need that to help with their bids. Referrals is a good way to get over that hurdle! [Solicitation Removed by Moderators]
