My first walk through

Hello everyone! I am getting ready to visit my first few properties as an investor :) Pretty pumped to be taking an actual step instead of reading and listening to podcasts (which are still great by the way). 

I was wondering if anyone had a checklist or tool that they used to get a rough estimate for repairs? Flooring, paint, holes, general maintenance, etc. 

Thank you any help would be appreciated!

-Kyle

Yea, my check list is called Jason, my contractor.  He shows up and gets the work if I buy it (contracted). It also makes him feel like part of the team.  It keeps him on budget when he put out his recommendation first.   He is more willing to flex on his own prices when rehab goes sideways.  He knows there is more work down the road. Keeping me in business is good for his business. It is win / win.  

Get a contractor.
