where to get (free) repair estimates
what is the best way to obtain an accurate repair estimate on a house using the least amount of cash?

I disagree with the advice you're getting above. If you're going to be wholesaling the deal, there is 0% chance you'll be giving any contractors any work, so asking them to give you free estimates is going to make you look bad and give you a very bad reputation (if you'll take advantage of contractors, you might take advantage of sellers, buyers and other investors as well).
I would recommend finding a great GC who will do quick inspections and rough estimates for you for a fixed price (perhaps $50 if you don't need a lot of detail).
