Working on my first real lead!

[Abel Rodriguez]

So I have been attempting my hand at wholesaling. (It’s not easy) haha but anyway! I finally got what seems to be my first real lead. Now lead has not actually gone anywhere yet. But I found a seller who is distressed and frankly tired of the property. I want to make him an offer. I’ve spoken to the seller on 2 occasions and just went by the property to see it in person. My question is. Should I take a contractor with me to give me an accurate repair cost before I ever even make him an offer? I know that question sounds stupid. The seller has done much of the work to the house but it needs finishing. So really I just want to know, how would I go about finding out the repair values if I didn’t take a contractor to give me an estimate?
