@Alvin Uy Great point Alvin! As of now, I haven’t been able to land a gc based on personal recommendations. Thanks!

@Joseph Cacciapaglia as I’ve been reading the replies to my question, your response matches that of many. It definitely makes more sense for a GC to walk through during due diligence. Thank you!

@Alvin Uy thanks Alvin. Actually the recommendation of bringing in a GC during an inspection contingency sounds and feels much smarter to do. I would have of course had an inspector but to have both inspector and GC as part of the inspection contingency process satisfies my question. The biggest challenge is finding a GC given that many investors aren’t liberally share this resource.

@John Underwood In general the consequences are late fees, court costs, and evictions. Are there additional consequences you’re imposing that has proven to be more successful at getting rents on time? Thanks

@Terrell Garren thank you for providing a ballpark figure. All of this helps, especially with better understanding estimating repairs. 

@Account Closed all I can say is, WOW! I’m actually going to print your post and keep as a very valuable reference. I appreciate the details and issues to consider in the buying and negotiating process. I have so much to learn. I’m still in the research process of vetting CPAs, general contractors, real estate attorneys, handymen, and property managers. I’ve requested recommendations. Again, thank you. 

Awesome. Thanks Bill!

Thanks Matthew and Joseph!

Great info. This would definitely be a property I’d plan to close on. Would you know a price range a contractor might charge to walk through with me? Thanks so much.  

As I'm readying myself to purchase my first property this year, I'd like to know if it is common and highly recommended to have a general contractor to accompany me during a walk through of a property of interest to help in estimating repair/renovation costs? Thank you.
