Advice on how to appraise current and projected property value

[Derek Eberly]

We are looking at a specific property to potentially BRRRR. This would potentially be our first property using this strategy. We are looking to buy from the owner without realtors. Is it normal/has anyone gotten appraisals on a property when interested in a potential BRRRR property? How can we accurately asses the current and small rehab value add with limited experience in that specific area?

Thanks for your help.
