Determining construction budget

[Matthew Dovner]

I've been flipping houses for 2 years now but still can't really walk into a home and know right away how much it will cost to fix. My past deals have all been mls so i've brought contractors in for quotes. I am ramping up a marketing campaign and I will be visiting home owners directly. Sometimes decisions have to be made quickly. Do you guys eyeball it and put a number on it or ask the home owner if you can get your contractor in there? Just curious how all you out there are doing this.

Thanks!
